Excellent news piece worth it's long read.

I went to Barnsley - and discovered a relic of the past.

Not great with links, if it fails to work go to The I Paper and search Oakwell, a great read

 

Lovely stuff

 

That’s an absolutely wonderful read. A brilliant piece of penmanship by the author.

Highly recommended

 

Enjoyed that thanks.

 

Great read!

 

Beautiful.

 

Good read...and pretty fair.

 

Thanks for posting. A really good read.

 

Wonderful article, thanks for posting.

 

Brilliant, thank you

 

A good read, thanks for posting.

 

Great read. This bit hit quite hard:

Barnsley’s principal attacking strategy seems to be overhitting or underhitting a series of crosses until Cambridge are softened up for the one that finally finds its target. Rain pours over Oakwell during the second half. Another season is slipping away.

 

Great read throughout.
One sobering bit stood out for me:

To clubs of Barnsley’s size, success tends to exist as a snapshot in time rather than as a process to be enjoyed. Do badly and everybody outside the region tends to forget you exist. Do well and the same people plot how their clubs might take your key assets. That’s not much fun.

 

Enjoyed that. When I eventually managed to get past the subscription request.

Think he nails quite a lot in that. And fair play to him

 

Excellent read.

 

Gave up trying on my phone and used a browser on laptop.

Where I was able to see a different menu bar option

 

It's a really good, and well researched article. I can think of very few non-local journalists who could piece together such an accurate recent history of the club.

Thanks to the OP for sharing the link.

 

A good read and nice to see what an unbiased outsider thinks.

The focus on the west stand bogs made me smile. The rest was sobering but true.

 

Cheers for the info
I' ll try that later, unless some kind soul copies and pastes it lol
