    BARNSLEY Football Club have today released the following statement.</p>

    On 16 March 2009, it was released on the Nottingham Forest FC website that it would be subsidising the cost of admission to its travelling fans who attended the club's fixture against Burnley at Turf Moor because of the its team's &quot;level of performance&quot; on that day.</p>

    It posted that its travelling contingent would be able to buy tickets at half price for the Oakwell fixture on 4 April 2009, with Nottingham Forest paying the difference to Barnsley FC. This unilateral action meant that most of Nottingham Forest FC's travelling contingent would be paying &pound;10 for admission to the game at Oakwell, whilst Barnsley FC's match day ticket fans would be paying twice that amount. </p>

    In response to this statement, Barnsley FC decided that if it reduced its prices for match day tickets for all fans to &pound;10, it would be in the absurd situation of compensating most of Nottingham Forest FC's visiting fans for the &quot;level of performance&quot; its team had shown against Burnley. In other words, Barnsley FC would be in the position of funding a promise made by Nottingham Forest FC to its fans. </p>

    Instead Barnsley FC decided to focus its funds on its own fans to the maximum financial extent it could afford. In this way, Nottingham Forest FC can deliver on the promise it made to its fans on 16 March 2006 and Barnsley FC can also offer a concession to its own fans in these financially difficult times.</p>

    </p>

    Have that

    I reckon it'll take even Super Moan a good 15 minutes to put a negative spin on that.

    I really hope for that game that you find yourself sat next to that chap who turned round to the home fans when we were at their place.

    So have we reduced prices :

    1. To fill the ground with Barnsley fans for an important fixture.</p>

    2. To help fans struggling with the current economic situation.</p>

    3. In response to Forest's offer to their fans.</p>

    Or a combo of the above ?</p>

    Come on Supertyke, this is fertile ground...

    I don't think there's any logic in there

    Forest were going to subsidise their fans but then they didn't so Barnsley cannot extend their offer to them because then they would be doing what Forest didn't. So there you have it.

    A very long winded way to say, "Sorry, we're just subsidising home fans." And there'd be nowt wrong with that.

    RE: eh?

    He would have been far better doing it in the centre of Nottingham. He'd have made himself heard much clearer in the relative calm of a shopping centre rather then the noisy atmosphere of a football ground and he'd have saved himself the price of admission into the ground for a football match that he simply didn't watch. You ******* Scab.

    Not to anyone who can follow the logic of what it's saying

    I suppose it makes sense if you don't understand it.

    So you now decide what I do and don't understand?

    That's a good one, even for you.
