    I think that was the season I thought our name had been changed to Barnsley Nill
    I think it was the last season I only went to games occasionally with my dad. The following season - in the 4th division I was pretty much a regular standing at the front in the Old Brewery Stand - just happy to be there

    1975 was a good time to be a fan though - now no matter how bad it gets I can always say I saw a worse side than the one we are now watching :)

    It certainly didn't feel like that in 1975, Dave, old mate!:D

    Controversial, bearing in mind he took us to within an inspired Richard Wright of getting back into the Premier League, and then left shortly after that. I was led to believe that when Hignett and Eaden asked for improved deals, John Dennis refused, thinking nobody else would come in for them and offer them better.

    I cant quite bring myself to agree - I still think Spackman was even worse completely wrecking a team that was competing at the top of the 2nd Division and pushing us off the cliff edge. But I was quite young in the McSweeney days and hadnt really got much to compare with. I know Jim Iley was a lot better so McSweeney clearly wasnt very good
