    Clap, clap, clap clap clap, clap clap clap clap… THE REDS!”

    When did we start replacing “The Reds” with “Barnsley”?

    I’m 51 years old and don’t really like change… but joking aside, the noise from the Ponty tonight sounded ace in the East Stand Upper. Much louder than our neighbours who went home with their tales between their legs. So it’s a massive well done to all those who got behind the lads tonight.

    Thought the same, it’s been The Reds for as long as I can remember

    As I'm a bit old school I like to refer to us as "St Peters", or Preedy's Claret & Blue army, to keep with tradition.

    Latterly the "Colliers" or the Tykes would be acceptable, or Red Army.

    I also like to refer to shorts as knickers & socks as suspenders, but I realise this gets @Stephen Dawson a little too over excited.
