That's nice to hear, but hope it's not too far away from kick-off time as there's usually not many in before about 5 minutes before kick-off.
I will be driving at the time , going on holiday. Could you photo it or video it and post it on here please.
"HI, MR. CHIEN AND MR. BEANE. HOW 'BOUT YOU KIDNAP KING CONOR AFTER THE GAME AND MAKE HIM SIGN FOR US AGAIN? BIRMINGHAM'S A HOLE, ANYWAY. LOVE, THE PONTY. QUÉ SERA SERA. XX" Something like that.
I hope more people get into Oakwell earlier tomorrow so the celebrations and tributes are given the audience they deserve. Late kick-offs are a God-send to the drinkers, myself included, but therefore often see many fans arriving at the last minute after an afternoon in town. I'm aiming to get there significantly earlier than usual. I remember the odd previous pre-match event being diluted due to half empty stands. If the displays/banners are relying on significant fan support, even if it's as a backdrop or to hold things up, let's hope most get there in good time!
I would massively appreciate it if you'd all be in your seats by 5:15 at the very latest. As a fan (I still am one), tomorrow will be proper mint. We are on TV too. Time to get what we deserve. This club is ace, but we can do so much more with it. But without you lot, we'd get nowhere. Remember when I said all summer, 'exciting times'? I tell no lies. Get to your seats for 5pm. And until full time, show EVERYBODY what we are about. Nobody touches us when we are at one. You Reds.
I am usually one to get in the ground just for KO or a minute after, but today I will most definitely be in the ground early. Early enough to take advantage of the £1.30 coors offer . But also I cannot wait to celebrate 130 years of this wonderful football club. They have been my life, I attend just about EVERY match and aim to keep doing this (even though the missus hates me for it lol) but I can't wait for today. You may all notice me more than usual today. I won't just be bouncing and singing, I will have the party hats on and birthday banners etc. #onelove
This x 100 Keep up the brilliant video work!!! I know you don't like it, but get Timerider cranked right up a minute before they enter the pitch, be ace to see the ground all clapping on sky. Sky will want us out on time, so the timings need to be bang on so it doesn't kick in to late!! COYR
I agree with every word you say. Many Barnsley fans are a stubborn lot tho and shifting em from the pub into the ground more than a couple of mins before KO time is a big ask. It's the reason that back in the 70s we used to kick off at 3 15 when the pubs turned out at 3. I'll be there by 5 15 today & hope everyone can try to do the same. Today is special & we should do our best to show the country what a great club we have.
