    Would this involve tear gas and armed police?

    I don't usually eat at Oakwell. Once a blue moon. I did get summat though this season, just the once. I wanted a hot dog. They had none left. A burger then? None left. A meat and tatie pie? None left. They had just balti pies left. So I had one. Nice it was, to be fair. But this was at 3.49pm. I was one of the first int queue. Did Rik Waller get there just before me? With Mido?


    I have to say I find it stunning that they can serve up the ***** they do without recourse.

    A fairly regular occurrence. We've even done mystery shopping sessions several times this season where there was NOTHING available prior to kick of in most of the concession stands. More than once! Even more times when there's noting left at the START of half time. It's not like we have a massive devation in crowds in the home ends match to match. I do actually think they improved their burgers/hotdogs and pies this season. We did that tasting session at the end of last season and I did try one or two things across the season and you know what, when they had them, they were ok. Just too expensive and a limited choice.

    He didnt call you an idiot, he called those on the pitch idiots and in reference to the grown men he was right. The thing that gets me is that Man Shitty fans invaded the pitch on Sunday, there must have been thousands on the pitch yet they managed to clear the pitch within minutes and keep it clear. We must have had about 80 on the pitch after the QPR game and we couldn't sort it out. Effing useless.

    To be fair, the Man City fans had the incentive of seeing the Premiership trophy presented, whereas those on our pitch were more of a lynch mob.

    True but if it was our lot they would invade the pitch, be cleared and invade again as soon as the the cup appeared. We are **** at basic crowd control.

    Should Rotherham Titans get promoted than that's what the money from them should be spent on, given that you need a scoreboard more in rugby than you do in football.

    All our stewards were lined up in front of the north side of the West Stand - they successfully prevented a pitch invasion from there!

    Have to agree.

    I bought our kid one against qpr. His first game. Wouldn't let me keep it.

    Frustration that a five year old kid is going to want to drink all that bottle in one go or have my hands frozen as it just come out of a freezer.

    And who the **** is going to lob a bottle of pop/water with the lid on when they have just spent 2 quid on it. Call me tight but **** me.

    Bfc wont be getting drinks like that bought anymore unless I have the full ******* bottle ive paid for.

    I wouldn't buy a car without a ****ing wheel.

    A few things. He says technical reasons for the tvs. They are switched off because a person didnt press on. Thats not exactly technical issues is it.

    The club stated that fans are not allowed on and specifically repeatedly asked them not to but ben now said the club always wanted them to. So they were lying before then?

    No mention of scoreboard?

    Very vague about the rugby. Them paying us a fiver would be beneficial to us technically so simply saying its beneficial isnt answering the question at all.

    Im beginning to believe that ben is very good at sounding positive and open without actually saying anything at all

    Gally is there really no way of getting rid of lindleys for poor performance? It seems that they could sign a thirty year deal and never even bother to open the stalls at all and the club reckon there is nothing they could do about it

    It was more on along the lines of is there a reason why they are switching off AFTER they have been switched on. (Power problem etc)
    He DIDN'T said he they always wanted them to. He said he didn't mind them having photos taken providing they go back to their seat for the players to come on the pitch.

    No
    No he wasn't vague. I may not have expressed in a way that makes it obvious to those that super analyze but its a very good income stream for Barnsley Football Club.
