    I've been getting stick would you believe from a Donny Rovers fan telling me how Barnsley are doing it all wrong, you couldn't make it up. He's been quiet today though, maybe he's hatching a plan to make us as successful as they are ;-)

    One of the most set off deluded fans I have come across. They don't have John Ryan making ludicrous claims about how big a club they are these days though. I''m intrigued though as to compared to them how we're doing it all wrong given we're 2 divisions higher and currently have at least double the fan base?

    We may have double the average attendance, however the fan base for both clubs are very similar.

    Really. I'm well aware that Donny is a bigger town than Barnsley and bigger population, does that doesn't necessarily equate to a similar or even bigger fan base. When they won promotion to the Championsip for the first time in over 50 years, they struggled to get 10,000 home fans. I'm really not trying be a Sheffield we're massive type here. Just pointing out that Donny do not begin to compare with us.

    The first 15 years of following Barnsley we used to get nearly identical crowds. We have had more league success over recent years and sustained success will bring the crowds in. I`m no Donny fan and agree our gates are far better what I maybe should have said was the catchment area are very similar.
