    It looked and sounded like loads more than that too - still a cracking effort either way.

    Some creative accounting gone on there by 'Dale - absolutely no way on God's earth did they have more fans in the ground than us.

    Mmm... I reckon there was over 2000 there. Club sold less than 1000 tickets- lots of pay on the gate cash. ;);)

    Great thing about League 1 - you can just drive up, park 10 mins away, no aggro, no coppers, great atmosphere, not stupid money and the players on the pitch are putting in a shift.

    It would explain why some started singing "we've brought more fans than you" when the crowd was announced. Maths obviously isn't one of the stronger subjects in Barnsley.

    Yeah, I like going to the smaller grounds myself. As I sometimes go as a helper, I find we get better looked after at the smaller clubs. They pay much more attention to detail than in the championship - not all, but most.

    I heard the announcer say 1,703 tbf. Still great support.

    I personally have met all of Rochdale's 5 fans and was having to text apologies for BFC upsetting them ( again ) throughout the entire game.
