    No. We lost the last game of the season away at Wigan the week after.

    That's right- last home game - that's where I got confused

    Of course last time we played the last home game of the season vs Norwich it was our last home game in the Championship for 4 years.

    Let's hope its the same this time out.

    Worst I've felt inside Oakwell. Joy to despair. We heard from a transistor too :-(

    I think it was after the Boro game when we popped in the Social Club and they had a "comedian " on.. He basically took the piss out of our plight for about five minutes; after which he was spoken to, and then sort of limped away

    Along those lines, I have a friend who is a writer, actor and street performer. One August Bank Holiday Sunday, he was performing in Portsmouth. He took to to the stage in his Barnsley shirt. It was the day after we'd beaten Pompey 6-0. He didn't really help himself, either, when he raised six fingers in the air!,

    Couple of days spring to mind.

    Last game of 1994/95 season. Away at Southend - lost 3-1 - but great weather, everyone got sunburnt, Southend fans called us Lobsters as we all turned pink in the sun. Gerry Taggart's last game for us I think - threw his boots into the crowd at the end.

    Away at Walsall - 1988/89 - won 3-1. Think Andy Saville played for them. Reds Fans in good voice on the train back to New Street - until we got near to Villa Park. Villa had played a 1-1 draw with Coventry. Ended up with four lots of fans on one train. The train was a tad boisterous - all good natured but just with the slight tension that it may all kick off at any time.

    We beat Bournemouth at om 3-0 last match, although I had been a Reds fan, that was the match that hooked me. Oakwell, tarn, me, belonging & Glavin. I was hooked. Thiz no escape :)

    I was at Oakwell for the final game of the 1961-2 season, when we played Torquay. We needed to win the match to avoid relegation to Division 4. Torquay needed a draw to avoid the same fate. We went 1-0 up, but Torquay scored twice to lead 2-1, so things were looking bleak. However, two goals from the talented 35 year old Bert Tindill helped us to a 4-2 victory, which sent Torquay down. This was Tindill's last game for us. He had announced his imminent retirement just before the match. His delighted teammates carried him off the pitch at the end of the game. Poor Bert died of a heart attack at the age of 46.

    Speaking of final day memories: may I wish Dorbeh all the very worst on their own final day tomorrow, after their joy at sending us down in 2018.

    A Rotherham win, plus a 99th-minute equaliser for someone at Derby - 'appy days.
