    Not the performance or result, that was pretty much as I expected. I mean, when was the last time we won a South Yorkshire derby? I refer to the turnout by Barnsley fans. 10,000, maybe less, for a crucial South Yorkshire derby. Terrible. People have been having a go at the club for letting season ticket holders have 4 tickets for Wembley, but we're the only buggers who turn up. We pay our money at the start of the season and we turn up for every game. Where were all the people who've been complaining today?

    The club giving part timers and fans of other clubs priority over those that do go to games. Why do they deserve such special treatment when they dont give a ****?

    they've got no need to go

    most know a season ticket holder so the club ensures they get priority for big games anyway. why bother going to a league game when you don't need to?

    do you go to watch Barnsley at Oakwell? I just wondered, do you support Barnsley? I have never, ever, ever, EVER heard a positive comment from you on this board. It is getting quite tiresome Supertyke

    We get hardly any walk up at all for league games</p>

    I admitI am a part-timer , but as a season ticket holding part timer I am thankful the club have done the tickets like they have.</p>

    How would you have done the tickets??</p>

    If it had been 1 per season ticket , we would have needed 6 months to shift the tickets.</p>

    I don't know about you, but how many posts someone makes on an internet message board does not quantify whether their points are valid. You did not answer my questions although you did move a step closer to the elusive 8000 posts - congrats

    As a season ticket holder i think they gave us far too many tickets for our friends (why? if my friends were barnsley fans then they'd go to oakwell occasionally).

    2 per season ticket holder and then work down categories starting at 10 stubs down to anyone with a blunts ticket. if you can't afford a season ticket there is no incentive to go to **** league games if you arent a 'proper' fan.

    I just think it's wrong that the club gave priority to people who just happen to know season ticket holders while regular attenders who dont have one got **** all.

    I doubt there are many with 10 stubs as our attendences would dictate., and why would you keep them as there is no indication that they would be of any use.</p>

    The club wanted to shift the tickets a.s.a.p so they did the right thing.</p>

    They should try and start a category system again next season, it cant be that hard to do.</p>

    I was at Oakwell

    Outside, i thought my brother was getting the tickets but he thought it was pay on the day.

    Why do they make these matches all ticket, they lost at least £40?
