    Shocking following. Even their local rivals QPR brought 1,400. If we were in their league position playing at Fulham the same time we'd have sold out whatever we were given.

    It's very poor that, romping the league I would expect a minimum of 3,000.

    Said that myself in the ground. No prawn sandwiches at oakwell for their fans probably put most off.

    Never understood the obsession with the number of away fans.

    Last thing on my mind during a game.

    And let's be right, what Londoner wants a 300 mile round trip to Barnsley on a Saturday morning?

    Not really a direct comparison that though, Donnys only up the road!

    "Real football fans" are all different. Everyone doesn't think the same as you

    We didn’t have to travel over 150 miles by lunchtime though did we?

    I didn’t expect a large following today. Kicking off at 12:30 and having to travel up from London, and it’s live on sky. They did well to hit four figures.

    Bollacks re it being on sky. How many did we take to Walsall for example when going for promotion. Think it was more than Fulham brought today. Top of the league team. Bottom of the league support.

    We took a good following to QPR for a 12:30 ko. But I reckon if we’d been top of the league at this stage we’d have doubled Fulham’s poor showing.

    They’ll be getting a lot more plastic fans from Chelski now it’s gone TU in the other half of SW6

    When we are on Sky we have more than our share of armchair fans even for home games, playing the top of the league today at home when we desperately need the backing but cartloads prefer their home comforts & a shocking turnout from our fans, so we should be the last set of fans to have a go at anyone

    why do folk tag them as money bags? personally i think over 1K is fine for an early kick off live on sky
    most of their fans will be ordinary working class like most of us

    The clubs who dont need plastic clappers to create a atmosphere at home would take more to barnsley on a sky game when there runaway leaders imo

    They average 20k at home dont they? There smashing the league. Fair enough we didnt but friday night games arent a convenient time. Still thought it was poor.

    Personally, i feel our away support is nowt special... obviously it's fluctuated due to promotions etc... decent turnout from Fulham today imo.
