    Leeds bring 5700 away fans. I've not seen trouble like that at oakwell for some years. Whatsbthay cost us in policing the game? If we offer say 1000 tickets in west upper less costs ect. Pointless in selling all them away tickets if it's going to cost us more in policing costs. Like a war zone today.

    The 300 pissed up thugs down the front scaring kids in the family stand should have been removed from the ground. It was poor on the part of the police and stewards to let it continue. The really are scum.

    It always amuses me when fans rush to the front corner of the away stand, to shout at who? Empty seats and families in the top tier! Bizarre.

    And you are right if those fans were not sat in a seat they should have been removed

    I think what happend were some leeds fans got tickets in the esl nearest the away end when they scored they got found out and the barnsley fans who get there tickets nearest the away end started giving em some. I saw a leeds fan run out of the esl and try get away and in the away end. I've seen the video it looked like 50 15 year old's doing aroplane impressions and giving it big licks behind a 2 foot wall and 10 stewards

    My little girl thought they were funny we sit in the Family Stand. ' Why are those bald men cross daddy ' there was no baiting from the reds fans it was just the way they choose to celebrate the goal then there was a 15 minute spell where none of them watched the match.

    There was a good comedy moment though. When they were stood on the wall I said to our kid if I were a steward I'd shove em off. The next second one of the female stewards about 5ft 2 did exactly that. Genius. It certainly wasn't 15 year olds though. I'd place them 20-25 in the main with a few younger ones sprinkled in.

    War zone? Really? Also not that many police there either.
