Time the fans really turned on the board

The board should be heavily reducing season tickets next year, but we know they won’t! After losing 4 games due to Covid in 2020, and then losing a full season due to Covid, I don’t feel I’ve had any value at all from this seasons season ticket!

That’s over 2 years of paying for nothing, I’ve only enjoyed two home games all season. I don’t think we will enjoy many more either. I won’t attend many night games that are left now either.

 

At least we scored some goals in these seasons, we don’t even look like scoring, and this is the worst midfield I have ever seen. None of these players look like they can shoot let alone score.

 

Not even close Gally. In January 2002, the Spaceman Parkin season, we were in the middle of a 12 match unbeaten run. We'd beaten Wednesday 3-0 and had a couple of 4-1 victories in 3 consecutive home games. There's no comparison. That awful team were miles better than this one.

 

Be lucky to get 6-7k season ticket sales next season.

There will be arguments amongst the fans about action to be taken and it will be by then far too late. It’s the beginning of the end while we trickle down to league two.

 

No, we are well on course for the worst season ever. When we got relegated in 2002 under Parkin, we got 48 points. Season before, 54 points. The football was gash, but at least we could grind some results out. This season, the football is gash and we can't grind anything, not even a chuffing pepper grinder...

 

Val left immediately for his 30 pieces of silver, mowatt was leaving choose what and Dike was never our player in any way shape or form.

 

He never mentioned Dike.

And blaming Val for wanting to to leave - when they effectively held the door open for him when the £2million was offered, is a bit rich.

And besides, who can blame him? They’d probably said to him ‘well done, but you need to rip it up and start again next season, completely change your successful method, because nobody has offered £500k and a 20% sell on for Romal Palmer. Oh, by the way, we can’t afford Dike but we’ve identified a big Belgian lad instead. Hasn’t played for six months and spends more time on the table than a dinner fork’.

Had they shown any level of sensible decision making, and offered Mowatt a reasonable contract, he may have stayed. He certainly didn’t want to move to a club in Birmingham. He went with his old gaffer, and the assistant. After also seeing the ceo and club Secretary leave, and the physio who’d been around forever put in notice - to go to Huddersfield Town. I’m not faulting anyone for seeing the writing on the wall.

I wouldn’t blame any other player for wanting out now either. Be that before next week or after the season; there will be a lot of change to the squad in my eyes. Can’t see it being for the better in many cases.

 

It was obvious val was going after the swansea game the interview he gave said im going all over it. It wasnt like they didnt know but then to appoint a clown like schopp and totally change the style and tie his hands behind his back with the worst summer window in history is unbelievable.

Mowatt was always going we could have brought in whiteman the summer before we had bids turned down then the chance went and preston bought him.

Agree about dike.

 

I agree with this.

I don't buy into this "wait til the QPR game and do a proper demo" ......... cos the time is now (or realistically, Saturday, Bournemouth)

Got to be something eyecatching. I do worry about fans turning on each other, as has been happening from behind keyboards, but we need some thoughts on just what to do to catch the eye of the owners and the press.

* A mock funeral service by the ticket office / shop. RIP placards and flowers?
* All meet in Barnsley pubs pre-match and just ............ stay there?
* A silent march from Town to Grove Street, form a blockade and then let rip?
* Boycott buying a programme / catering?

insert your own ideas.

More realistically:
* All turn our backs in silent protest on 14 minutes (14 = points) for one minute followed by a rousing rendition of "you can stick your fvcuking sprreadsheet up your ar53" or "Fvck PMG" to the tune of "we got the ball....."
* A bit more drastic - all walk to the concourses on 14 minutes.
* Even more drastic ......... walk out on 14 minutes? Or with 14 minutes left?

I care. And summat needs to happen.

 

We don't even look fit anymore and every player has lost a yard of pace.Have we replaced the fitness coach yet? Losing the manager, captain, assistant manager, fitness coach, secretary, groundsman, physio, sports scientist, analysts etc has decimated the club. Don't think we lost that many staff during admin. It feels like the entire club has lost it's way and we're starting from scratch. I honestly think we're on the road to Division 2 at best.

 

It’s the cheap option manager that is the worst thing. When Schopp went we needed a Wilder, Christ even a McCarthy or Warnock until the end of the season, but we employed an under 21 coach from abroad. Young and no experience of the league, same as our midfield!

This along with talk of a ground share and the total lies about the west stand along with things like the voucher book has made it a disgrace of a season.

 

Throw the useless voucher books onto the pitch!!

 

Run on pitch and give poya my season ticket i wont be needing it and the ban would be a blessing in disguise

 

Mowatt was never, ever going to stay. He had one chance to cash in while his stock was high and we could never have matched what he'd get elsewhere. Who can blame him?
Ismael similar was always going to get a much, much bigger offer elsewhere and must have known he could never repeat last season with our players as by the end of last season we'd been sussed. He had to get out to keep his career moving forward. That said I've no love for him for upping sticks and taking whatever assets he could with him. Unless he changes his tactics though I can't see him managing for very long at a higher level.

 

won't happen. Too lily livered. The only real way to protest is to boycott all the remaining home games. Then let the ST sales next term plummet.

 

Be nearer 4k I reckon but with next to no pay on the day punters either. I can see them announcing that only the East Stand will be used if numbers are very low.
Wouldn't put it past them at all.

 

I would think 4K or 5K plus kids tickets.
