Always a financial aspec though which is good.... It would have been financially better away from home as we have to share the gates 50/50 with the away team. But we owe it to the Barnsley fans and it will be a great day! Good man!
Could have been a lot worse financially Brizzle city away for example and not sure Cardiff Bristol or even Middlesborough at home would be that great either as we wouldn't sell out
we dont and never have shared the gate 50/50, where do you get your info from its 1/3 to us, 1/3 to chelsea, 1/3 to the fa FFS!!!!!!!!!!!
