Anybody come across a picture taken from their end? I couldn't see any of the top tier so have no idea what it looked like.
But it also shows that if we are not run like footballing Tesco or like the whitehead situation (due to a clause in his contract he was off) and we actually have a slight bit of ambition, we can get decent crowds. Add to that the lifeless game day entertainment and ground that’s not been touched for 27 years, this may explain the reason behind some fans absence from oakwell.
Yes, the safe standing was brilliant and I reckon helped create the great atmosphere. Definitely the way forward.
If you didn't recognise any faces, how did you know that those people are the ones who "these are usually same folk who slag club off ‘******* crap Barnsley’ ‘no ambition’ ‘don’t want to go up’ etc etc"? Are you telepathic?
I take it you didn’t go to old Trafford last night and haven’t been to Hillsborough a lately and seen their condition.Granted West Stand does need replacing but if those some fans didn’t only attend when we were top of the table and were regulars maybe it might happen.I wish we were as successful as Tesco.
Well am I shocked at some of the people who liked the OP. Biggest bunch of arse kissing, holier than thou better fan pricks. Time for me to step away from here again.
Some of the songs last night were a disgrace and absolutely embarrassing. "Let's pretend we've scored a goal" "How **** must you be it's only 6 nill" "You're just a **** Man City" "We've had a shot" If that's great support then I'm singing from wrong hymn sheet. Shocking.
Let's be honest, it was a horrible night all round. Hard to know what to chant in those circumstances but agreed I thought a lot were cringe worthy. Still, better than the bloke and his (late teens son) sat 2 rows in front of me right next to stewards on the right hand side (lower tier) who spent entire first 35 mins stood up yelling foul mouthed abuse at Utd fans sat just the other side of the magic netting. Credit you were sir. Thankfully disappeared after half time not to return.
And since when did the airhorn/ clapping chant thing end in “Barnsley” Always used to be “the Reds” .
Just gallows humour, isn't it? No different to 'we're gonna win 6-5'. If it was a team we'd just dicked 7-0, we'd probably be praising their fans for seeing the funny side.
Every clubs fans sing stuff like that when getting a pasting. What do you expect them to do? They did the lads proud with how loud and consistent they were - time for the lads to repay the favour in our next match.
Don't think we were in any position to take ourselves too seriously. The away end could and possibly should have been empty 60mins in much rather a few tongue in cheeks chants.
