I'm an Athersley North lad. It's where r old boy still lives, and much of my family. In fact, r old boys house is just 100 yards from San Sheerien. He stopped going to Oakwell in 2009. He'd had enough after nearly 40 years. His excuses are his excuses. They don't wesh wi me. Said he was bored by it, wasn't how football once was, just felt like a customer paying out of his arse for a **** experience. I've felt similarly, but I'm still there. However, when I get to 50 I might change like he did. He's been to the odd game since, and he still knows everything there is to know about BFC, still cares. He went to the Gills game while I was on holiday, think the pull of Danny is getting him back into it. This is the bloke who introduced me to my club. Wish he'd jump back on board.

In the meantime, he's 100 yards down't road watching Rec. Goes regularly with his pals. Drinking before, during and after. I can certainly see why it appeals to some. Me? Not really. I like what they do, I want em to do well, and were I just up the road I'd pop darn when tarn weren't playing. But I'm a Barnsley supporter. Even as an Athersley lad, I couldn't start supporting them over my club. I couldn't start supporting any other club. I was born into this. It's just who I am. And I love it. And hate it.

Good luck to Rec, Porky etc.
