There's two sat here watching Renegade Nell on ITV X. We'd love to come and support the club but just feel like they're pi55ing up our backs. I can't let go. I attend games with a very good friend. Just sick of the self inflicted doom. My Dads too far gone. I'll repeat myself. How can JAQ, Neerav, (Chien Lee and co) cry poverty? It's a disgrace. "Go support Tottenham" etc. I hear that regularly, they aren't my bread and butter. Barnsley are. I just hope Connor can off load some crap and make us all happy again next season or season after that.
SD, my advice would be calm down, take a moment to get some perspective, and make a decision. Sorry to hear about your dad, you clearly love your lad. Reflect on that and choose wisely as to what you want to do.
Personally i feel if anyone on here puts out a ' cry for help' ? They should be spoken to properly or helpful advice,who knows what's going on with them,if you don't like it scroll past and keep your thoughts to yourself. WHO KNOWS what's round the corner ? None of us do,you only after read what's happened to the Liverpool player and his Brother.

How have I never noticed that thread? Having had a scan through it's great so see so many in our midst are always there willing to listen or give reassurance. I left this forum for a few years because someone mocked me when I decided to open up about my own mental health struggles. Of course, there were loads who came to my defence, and I'm ashamed to say I don't remember who. I remember who 'kicked me while I was down' so to speak though. I'll make a habit of looking in the thread every now and then because, whilst I'm in a much happier place these days, it'd be poor form for me not to try and repay some of the kindness I've been show on here over the years. My inbox is always open for anyone who wants to talk.
Being a Football fan can lead to depression or alternatively a happy mind. Diehards. 2 types. Those that get disillusioned when in a rut of defeats, either stick with it and hope to come out the other side. I'd put myself in that category at times. Those that think, ill give it a rest. But then get out of the habit to not return. Thinking I can do without the stress anymore. I go to many games when we are leading, wishing it was full time lol. Only relaxing if 3-0 up with a minute to go. I'm 68 wtf is up wi mi BTW Stephen I don't think our board are crying poverty. But try stick to the rules and hoping they'll get it right without having to throw millions at it. Chansiri has done just that, but look at the mess. Chin up lad. Difficult I know. But try get shut of the gloom.
There are times when being a Barnsley fan can really get you down. On the other hand, there are also times when they make you so overjoyed and proud. I hope you're okay, Stephen.
