    My 57th. Dad took me as a 3 year old I've been going ever since. There's something special about being a Barnsley fan that sets us apart from anyone else. I'm sure other fans will say the same but I think our heritage as a community sets us apart. I am so proud to be a red and proud to be part of this forum. For all our differences there's no folk as genuine as us reds.

    23rd season. Approx 12-15 with a season ticket. There was a period when we were so **** my dad refused to pay for me so couldn’t go. I’m taking Paul Gibbs sort of ****

    Started in 1960/61 so 59 years for me, admittedly not all season ticket years though.

    It will be my forty third season. Was only a casual user before 1978 but got hooked when Clarkie took over, just in time for the glory years of Big Norm and Ronnie.

    Christ. The average age of the fan base on this Board is around 83! I think I can safely say we’re not a representative sample of Reds fans.
    My memories of watching the team in my early years are the dominance of youth. “ back to school on a Monday” was a common chant. And now.......we’re all going to die together (gulp). Will there be enough time to get all our names up on the end of season death list. As i’ve Said for years we need a bigger scoreboard.

    This is the the 49th year since I first went and 43rd as a regular. “Iley out.”
