    Ffs go to the cu final how many there will be freeloading.
    Dickie is revered in every part of the country and there's only a few in Barnsley that takes exception to him probably the same few that gets on about Darren Gough and Mike Parkinson etc.
    Jealousy or spite imo.Not one has come up with a personal reason to have such a almost hate full view of the said people.

    He's a lovely bloke, and a Barnsley legend. I say that having spent many hours in his fantastic company.



    As for the OP - I was at the game yesterday, I got a free ticket as a guest of one of our players. FREELOADER that I am.

    He is pretty tight though, heard he goes into his local newsagent and reads the paper in the shop rather than buy one :biggrin:

    I've spoken to him a few times and have always found him to be gracious, polite and with a love for his club that shone through. Very different to our other celebrity 'ex cricketer' fan.

    I think Dickie (and Shaun Dooley) are genuine fans who are proud to be fans.

    Wasn't he given a lifetime season ticket?

    I remember him being on the pitch with Ridsdale, I think it was the first season under Hart.

    I may be wrong, but I remember he didn't get a very good reception.

    No mate he has turned down the free ticket, he was offered one 3 times since then too. He pays for his own tickets , so he cannot be accused of getting freebies ! That has not worked has it?

    I've met him once, he was one of the dignitaries at my Masters graduation. Didn't get to speak to him for more than a minute, but as a cricket fan I was made up
