    I hope this isnt true. If so its not good news. Im already paying for myself, my son and his mate. Its costly enough with the concessions in place.

    apparently the other three teams haven't agreed even so I think it's bad publicity for Barnsley and makes you wonder how much of a fight they put up against Chelsea wanting to up the quarter finals tickets

    If true Shepherds not doing himself any favours in the popularity stakes especially after the Luke Steele wages saga of last week.

    It could be just paper talk but sadly, the way they treat us it sounds believable.

    wembley have already given everyone cheaper prices for the game, we should be gratefull its not £50 and up for a ticket as it usually is. as long as the club plans to reinvest the money improving the squad and facilities i don't mind them trying to block concessions

    Barnsley FC Public Relations

    Is at best, very very poor. Every question sent to the Club seems to be met with disbelief that we had dare do it, and a 'get back in your box, attitude.

    I would have thought good public relations would be paramount in a Club's agenda, and if it wasn't for this FA Cup run a lot of fans would be voting with their feet.

    GORDON SHEPHERD NEEDS TO REALISE THE FANS ARE NOT THE ENEMY OF BARNSLEY FOOTBALL CLUB, AND WILL, IF TREATED CORRECTLY, BE THE SAVIOUR OF THEM.
