Barnsley FC communication

Kelvin has watched Barnsley home and away for 60+ years so you'll have heard him swearing at the ref if you've been behind the goals at a match. If Barnsley aren't playing he watches anyone. I think he saw over 250 games last season. Buys a programme at every game as well and probably has nigh on 10,000 of the things.

 

He completed the 92 twice on the day Ash completed it once. I have the programme where they were mentioned. Barnsley weren't either of the teams. Ash used to get all mine (Away) for me. Whether I was at the game or not.

 

I think at some stage he might have seen Barnsley on all 92 till the new boys came along in League 2. With all the ex league clubs in the Conference and lower he's probably done over 120 who were league clubs at one time.

 

Trying to think mate. Probably around 115 I'd have thought. Based on my own 101.
5 to do. Of the present. And 9 more since the 50s. Out of the league. He might not have done Bromley. I seem to remember asking him a couple of months ago. May have dreamed that one up.
Kel literally wipes the floor over anyone without fear of contradiction I'd have thought. Has done over 200 teams id reckon based on his non league and Scottish exploits. Ash gave up when money became tight. Gave all his home programmes away as well. Which surprised me.

 

Only found out yesterday courtesy of my mate who was playing in the game poor as usual from Barnsley

 

You can also add to that every Rugby League club from the 70s bar Whitehaven Workington and Barrow. Rugby League back.in the 70s was always played on a Sunday so it didn't interfere with football. We used to pick a different ground every week to go to. Went to Blackpool Borough when we counted 156 fans there including us. Huyton had about 172. Also saw Rochdale Hornets win a game 2-0 in a monsoon. Remarkable that Kelvs been to all those venues when you consider he's never been able to drive.

 

in knowing Kelvin 30 years watching us I’ve never once heard him say a sentence without swearing…….

 

Don't worry about it lol, I'm sure Oliver Shaw is the happiest he's ever been now, after leaving the taarn.
