    By the way. 1,830 - more than double what Fulham brought to Oakwell.

    Apologies if already posted.

    Away support has been top notch all season.

    We're the biggest small club in this division ☺

    The 1st half particularly was outstanding from an atmosphere perspective. Great noise, great energy, great songs... top notch. When we take bug numbers away the pre-match buzz seldom translates into a noisy away end. But yesterday everyone seemed well up for it and it was fantastic. Also helped having a good away end, big enough for everyone to stand/sit where they wanted and relaxed stewarding that was firm but fair and allowed an atmosphere to build. Top away day. The Temperance was top notch before and after as well, nice pub, rammed full of Reds fans.

    Our support was great. But have to say, I think Fulham brought a surprising amount of fans to Oakwell. Thought it was 1400 or something? Or maybe 700 and 700 clappers?

    Agree. In spite of the result, it was a great away day.

    Great numbers, great support. I hope Conor heard the song sung for a good 20 mins.

    Fulham though. Plastic fans with plastic fans or summat to wave abart. Then we are sat in a temporary stand whilst watching them play Chris Martin who cost the £3 million to bring in on loan. All that Premier League money and they have a temporary stand. It's a ****ing disgrace.

    Probably my favourite football ground other than Oakwell.

    Our fans were immense. Referee altered everything, sadly. We needed to score when we were on top for that 15 minute spell. Would have been interesting.

    Fulham media lads were full of praise for our team, best they've seen at Craven Cottage. Said they've not seen a fitter/faster bunch. Like us, felt the penalty ruined proceedings. Also made reference to our 'crazy' fans.

    Keep it up. Don't be down about stuff. We're having a reight season.

    They were crap weren't they. Stadium full on 3 sides and nothing until they scored.

    It's a disgrace of a ground. They ought to be docked points for a temporary stand. And those ****ing plastic things.

    Maybe. A lot of "noise" that's for sure.

    **** all we can do except watch, wait and hope.

    I'll be happy when we get to 1st Feb and all uncertainty is over then we've got what we've got and have to get on with it.
