    From Sam Smeaton, Featherstone rovers player asking if i would be renewing my season ticket for next season. When I replied yes he asked if I knew it was he new shirt launch later this month in the club house.

    This seems to be the norm lately in both rugby and football. I know a few people ho got calls from Leeds united players.

    Is this something that Barnsley have done?? (pity I didn't get it yesterday I would have asked the don)

    I'm not sure how the conversation would have gone had I said no i'm not renewing, but I presume he would have asked why and tried to convince me.

    If you were in two minds about getting a ST in pre season would a player actually calling you, help convince you to part with your cash

    That depends on who the player was who called me. If it was somebody like Bobby I would be prepared to listen and discuss. There are some players (not necessarily current players) who I'd have just said no thanks to and hung up. I think its a good idea though.

    Imagine Scott Wiseman phoning round the fans asking if they were renewing their ST or not...

    I'd love to hear Keith Hill phone fans up.

    "I'll be perfectly honest, we're punching above our weight. We don't really deserve to be in this league and we can't compete with the other teams. They're shopping at harrods, i'm shopping at aldi. Trying to keep this team in the championship is like trying to walk a tightrope with two broken legs. So, can I interest you in spending £350 on a season ticket to watch my aldi special buys on their ill fated trip to league one? Hello? Hello? Are you still there? Hello? ****! Don i've lost another one".

    Hello, Barry Taylor here. But where is here, and what am I actually doing?
    If you can answer either question, I will give you a freebie ticket. I'm great at freebies.
    Goodbye.
