    Originally we were called that because

    some idiots thought that the Dingles were supposed to come from Barnsley, but as usual the got us mixed up with BURNLEY where the Dingles are supposed to be from in the Soap

    It's because we are such wonderful people they call us the Dingles.

    The Dingles moved from Lancashire, so they must have moved house cos Emmerdale is in Yorkshire

    so thats that theory busted :D

    why do younthink you daft bugger?

    cos they like to make out we are all inbred and thick like the dingle family on Emmerdale. I can't see why any of the Dingle family would be Barnsley supporters, they're all Lancastrians as far as I can tell by the accent. Plus I;ve never seen any of them at Oakwell!

    Lancashire clubs called Burnley it because they are a scruffy theiving lot

    And so the Sheffielders started to call us it.........and it caught on at Pikey Rovers

    Tell thi, they dunt like us in Dee Dar land. They can't understand us (and I'm not talking abart how we talk)

    Dingles.......

    What makes matters worse is we're under a Sheffield postcode. Maybe it's about time someone shouted out for an independent postcode?
