The pit head winding gear is silent, the glassworks are reduced to one, the steelworks are now "Retail experiences" or an amusement park (true!). The old characters are gone, along with the work ethic (I.E. get out of your bed and DO some!) Your football millionaires will come to our small nondescript town, which has done nothing of note, except allow 366 lives, many children, to be killed in the Ardsley Oaks disaster, and countless other mining calamities. However, football unites and divides us daily, one minute we are unknown, next thing our song "just like watching Brazil" echoes around the globe after Anfield. It has always been sung tongue firmly in cheek, humour, you understand. Welcome to Barnsley, those of you who make the journey, you will be treated with respect (as long as you do the same), my wife is a Spurs supporter (shudder), well, she's not that bad looking in a poor light! I suppose it's our cup final, we can't possibly repeat what happened at Anfield, but please don't do a 6-0 like last time!
