    I’m shocked how little tickets we have sold .

    They could be less than 10,000 in attendance at this rate

    Probably reflects the confidence the fans have.

    The club haven’t helped themselves tbf;

    We were told by the CEO we’d have an update early next week after the Northampton game. We haven’t….

    Devaney openly stated he didn’t know if he’d still be in charge on Monday.

    Had we been ‘on it’ from Sunday/Monday it would’ve sold out, but as usual it’s like pulling teeth….

    If anyone is considering not going to a play off semi final because the Board haven't updated the manager situation in a few days then they seriously need to consider whether they're actually a BFC supporter or not.

    We’re going into a Play-Off game with a manager who, correct me if I’m wrong but is yet to win a signal game of football as Barnsley Caretaker Manager….

    I was also quite surprised at how many suddenly bought tickets for the Northampton game.

    I wonder if some of our fans would prefer to watch the game in tarn with a beer? Hopefully we’ll fill it up a bit more than what it is at the minute.

    we have nothing to lose, we are big 5-1 outsiders even oxford are above us in the betting ffs. Just work on defending and attacking set plays and defensive shape out of possession all week type of stuff. It's not like we were doing anything good under collins we were shipping 2/3 goals every game.

    Or if our Invisible DOF tells us fans would be updated in the coming days and over a week later we still haven't heard an update then fans will get annoyed at it not happening.

    'Shocked' is one thing I'm not. Interest whipped up for Saturday with expectation of a new, attacking mentality, but we just got Collins-ball 2.0 and people understandably can't be arsed with it.

    I’ve been Collins out for about a decade as you all know… however, if the plan was to get rid with a game to go, try for another failed Austrian experiment and then be end up with Devaney… we may as-well have kept him until after the Play-Offs.

    Other than probably the Red All Over gang does anyone have faith in Devaney leading a successful Play-Off promotion?!

    I’m not going for a few reasons, firstly I said if we got to Wembley ( even before we dipped), I wouldn’t go so going to the semi seems pointless, I was so p1ssed off Saturday at the lack of application and then there’s are chances, very very slim.
    I’ll watch at home with a beer, if we are embarrassed due to crowd size that’s on the club.

    I think you're being quite dismissive towards others who may not share your opinions on certain matters and it's not solely down to the managers job at oakwell
    Money is tight has it ever occured it may cost a dad/mum plus kids £50 onwards etc.
    The football served up at home this season has been poor.
    The football served up last Saturday at home was poor.
    There's a general feeling of apathy towards the team and recent results.
    There's a general feeling of uncertainty around the direction the club is heading.
    There's a general feeling of frustration towards the board at decsion making.
    Some people wanted NC to stay.

    For what it's worth I'll be going on Friday, am I looking forward to it? No, but just because I'll be going makes me care no more or less than the next fan going or not.

    I’m not going as I have a foot injury so makes it difficult plus with us being on sky I’d rather stay home and watch it with some beers

    I’m not going and I am a season ticket holder. Neither are the 2 people I go with.

    I can’t get excited about the play-offs where in the unlikely event that we are successful, we will almost certainly have an absolutely torrid time in the Championship next season because the board would rather play Spreadsheet FC than try and win some games.

    It will be a pretty underwhelming feeling for the players when they walk out in a play off game (biggest game of some of their careers so far), to a half empty stadium. As fans I think we could do better. The tickets are priced brilliantly too. We've got to get behind them!

    They had packed home ends at the weekend against a team on the beach and served us all up an underwhelming performance.
