    Can i thank Don Rowing, Sue and Jill in the club shop for organising for my dad and myself to meet the team on monday morning, join them on the training pitch then have lunch with all players and staff. My dad ( Millhouse Red ) has been diagnosed with cancer and it's untreatable. We were made very welcome by each and everyone one at the club. These are tough times for our family at the moment, but this outing was very special, Thank you Barnsley Football Club. Also get your money on mellis for 1st goal at Charlton. Up the reds.

    So sorry to hear of your Dad's diagnosis

    Andy & his Father are two of the nicest men I know, very rarely missing a Barnsley game (home or away) for donkey's years. It's a privilege to know them. Many thanks to Barnsley Football Club for giving this exceptionally decent family such a special day.

    Andy, I'm shocked to read that mate. I know you'd mentioned he wasn't well a couple of weeks ago, but I'm sorry to hear this.

    Good to hear that the club made you feel so welcome, but my thoughts are with you.

    forgot to mention a thank you to Dawn as well for inviting us to there house to meet Ashley Ward, what a great bloke he was. Sent my dad his premiership shirt autographed. Thank you all for your support, it is refreshing to know that people really do care in this world.

    Best wishes Andy to you and Arthur and all your family. Don't give up hope mate. My old man was diagnosed with a Brain Tumour and given 6 months. He was a stubborn old so and so though and lasted 12 years before it finally took him. I hope to see you both again soon.
