    Would love these two back on loan. If Norwich stay up can see butters going in loan. Would push mellis.

    Can't see stones being allowed out as moyes seems to dislike the loan system. Think Everton only loaned out two or three fringe players this season. But he would be a great boost.

    After the last few months really confident this club can pull a few bums on seat signings off - loans or transfers.

    Really tempted to buy my first season ticket. Living in London and moving from Barnsley at 3 years old means I get to three or four home games a season max, always on my own as none of my friends or family support the reds. Probably couldn't get to many more than 5/6 but for £350 I feel like I should pay the club back for their effort these last few months...

    ...Provided Flicker stays.

    Amazing season. One I will never forget. Thanks for the ride and memories to all the players and staff!

    Have a great summer one and all, keep positive and see you next year!

    You are aware that there's been a London branch for years and there are always a group that travel up to the games on the train, most of whom are season ticket holders?

    Lets leave them to get on with their careers! They chose to leave so let it stay that way and bring in new faces!

    What he's trying to say is that the better looking, wittier London Tykes have all moved back to Barnsley.

    Middle aged binge drinkers who go to football while waiting for the booze train to take them back home? Whose sum of tactical awareness is locating an off licence or the latest supermarket special offers on vodka?

    Don't do it!!

    It tends to be quite cyclical, although in recent years there have been more people leaving than joining, as the green grass of Yorkshire has been calling us home, but there are usually between 4 and 8 of them that travel up to home games. There are usually more for southern away games though. The good thing is that, as they all like a pint, the knowledge of pubs along the routes to all away games is second to none. They're also good at getting the cheapest train tickets to wherever we're playing. Drop Mr C a message with your details, as I don't think the rest of them come on here any more now.

    Must cost a fortune over the season to get the train to every home game from London

    I'm over £2k this season easy. I've been to more matches than usual, because they needed my support. And it worked, you are all welcome!

    I realise this isn't a popular view but I wouldn't have Butterfield back.
