Just been on Twitter and seen a post from one of the team involved with Redfearn's bar saying that Joy, a lifelong red, has passed away. Her husband Andy, I think, was involved with South Riding fanzine and the Supporters Club/Trust, both followed Barnsley everywhere. I didn't know them particularly well, but always seemed to see them when travelling away and in the Ponty End car park after matches. RIP Joy, and condolences and love to Andy.
Sad news,i've known Joy and Andy many years and there love of BFC was always obvious to see.Condolences to Andy. RIP Joy x
Awful news. I've known them both since getting involved with the Supporters' Club in the mid-90s and would often bump into them at matches. Joy was part of the group that I was on Soccer AM with during the Premiership season, on the day before the Chelsea home game. Sky insisted that the fans of the week group had to be all male at the time, so they did a short separate feature in the show with the two ladies in the group, where they did nothing to hide their displeasure at their treatment. My condolences to Andy. Rest in peace, Joy.
sad news RIP Joy and condolences to Andy, got to know them quite well over the years, always friendly and as mentioned loved BFC
RIP Joy. A proper fan who'll be there in spirit with this club for as long as it exists. Condolences Andy.
