    I here what you're saying and take it on board but the level of flak PC takes is wrong in my opinion, yes we have been ***** for a few years but am pretty certain it'll hurt PC just as much as us if not more. Maybe I'm one of those that will stand for egg under cap but I'm also a realist who acknowledged she fact that the powers that be at oakwell are doing there best to give us a good team and a stable background

    I don't think anyone is moaning unnecessarily.

    Is the catering very poor - Yes

    Is the scoreboard making the rest of the ground look tatty - Yes

    And more importantly, is the product on the field getting worse year on year - Yes

    These are not moans.........these are facts.

    Does everybody feel that Patrick, Lee and Ben are up to the job and have their heart in the right place - of course they do.

    I have met Patrick and he comes over as a very quiet, deliberate, serious individual - you wouldn't think by talking to him that he was the kind of person who travelled the world to sell services; which resulted in his own company at one point being worth £1 BILLION. But he did.
    Patrick wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to Barnsley Football Club - the only problem I have with Patrick being the owner is that unfortunately I don't think he has enough money to move a club like Barnsley forward.
    A club which in my opinion has an untapped potential that has never been realised.

    Agree up to the stable background, frequently changing managers and then squads changing due to new managers hasn`t had us stable, neither did relegation.

    Good to hear the club have done this.

    They're opinions, not facts.

    Perhaps mention what you'd do to improve things at Oakwell instead of just pointing out everything you think it rubbish. People might actually care about what you've got to say then.

    To be fair to Nudger his opinions i'd say are facts. Something looks to have been done about catering. Product on the field is getting worse hence the relegation and not looking like a play off contender at any point last season. Scoreboard is true and Mansford has gave numerous dates as to when it will be sorted and it keeps getting put off and off.

    Have to disagree.
    Everything stated by Nudger is Fact whether we like it or not.

    So in your opinion:
    The catering was ok?...........even though the club has upgraded it only today
    And, the scoreboard is a pleasure to look at?
    And, there has been improvements on the field?.............when the league position and also comments on here and elsewhere say otherwise.

    And.........I have always been forthcoming with suggestion on how things could be improved:

    1) Change the caterers and the catering management team.

    2) Change the scoreboard.

    3) And importantly, suggest that if the club is to move forward and reach its potential then the best thing that Patrick Cryne can do for the club and for the town as a whole is find a new owner for the club with sufficient financial backing to make this happen.
    I spelt this out in a post only a few days ago.

    I don't think anyone on here moans un-necessarily about things like this.

    ........But as MrsHalls said...........'Trouble is if no one moaned abart owt then nowt would get changed for the better'.

    Which is very true

    Hate to say it but I do agree that they are facts. I don't agree about Patrick walking away though.

    Like a son to him? Did he really say that? How embarrassing. He's our manager who will be judged on results.

    yes if that's true, its a crock of shlte....he'd sack him in the blink of an eye if necessary (before crimbo!). Would he do that to a son?....very much doubt it.

    He said it jokingly, context is everything. But if you want to sneer and find fault, then that's your prerogative...

    Facts indeed, but they've now changed the caterer and are trying to do everything possible to improve performances on the field. Personally, I don't really care about the scoreboard. As for Cryne selling the club, I'm sure he would but there aren't many multi millionaires walking around wanting to buy Barnsley FC...
