    Since clearly Barnsley fans seem to be mainly Communists then I have had a good idea, why not capitalise on that like St Pauli have in Germany and become THE left-wing club in England?

    That way you can get left-wing fans from all over the country and sell loads of merchandise just like St Pauli do.

    If changing the name to Red Star Barnsley is a bit too much then we can stay Barnsley FC but still have a red star as the new club badge and put it on mugs T-Shirts etc along with Che Guevara T-Shirts mugs etc, lefties will come from all over Europe to watch Barnsley.

    Ticket sales up, merchandise sales up and we'll finally be famous!

    I think we should go for something more appropriate that represents our perpetual struggle and eventual defeat the Oakwell Martyrs.

    Yeah and maybe we should have a corner stand painted Blue where all the Tories can go and stand and sneer at the working class while eating caviar on toast and drinking champagne at £5,000 a bottle, then have a raffle , top prize being the chance to go down into the East Stand and kick a poor person .
    They could all wear Armani suits and I love Maggie pin badges and they could stand and wave their money clips at the plebs.

    Mind you I do know that the ticket sales would be to a limited audience!

    I had another idea with the badge, Newcastle Brown Ale have a blue star as their logo with an image of Newcastle bridge at the bottom, we could have the red star with an image of Oakwell at the bottom.

    No. My hair is/was/will never be long enough! - As a matter of fact it was my eldest sister's first husband!

    He could stop occasionally and be offered the chance to save himself by hitting a corner over the head of the first defender.

    Excellent suggestion
    As an ode to Gerry Taggart we could have the Orwell Quote "if you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever" as the club motto.

    So Wolfe smith for president. Feeding the players to lions at half time if they are ***** (bound to improve performances) a separate stand for caviar eating Gloria and a new club motto. Come on mr Mansford get acting on these most excellent suggestions
