From what I can gather, the attitude of BFC towards more distant fans is dreadful!!!

    It would appear that, if I want to go to Cardiff with my children, I have to undertake a 220 mile round trip in order to purchase tickets and then the round trip from Cumbria to Cardiff.

    Presumably the club thinks that fans who live an "inconvenient" distance from Oakwell should sod off and support some other team.

    Makes me wonder if we should renew our Season Tickets at a club that obviously isn't interested in keeping our trade.

    Hmmm, makes it difficult for exiles if you're not season ticket holders

    Leeds fans were able to purchase their final tickets by post.You had an application form online that you filled in and sent off. Can't we do something similar?

    I must say it's disappointing

    My family can't get any tickets unless I go and queue for them as they don't know anybody else in Barnsley.

    My Dad has watched BFC for 50 years, including when they were bottom of Division 4 and if I can't go and queue for him he can't go.

    I've sent the chairman an email.

    I'm sure they will do all they can to help.

    It was the same for Wembley...

    I had to travel up from Somerset to queue to get my tickets, despite being a ST holder. A little more difficult now I'm not a ST holder and live in another country.

    Does seem a bit unfair

    My situation isn't quite as bad as yours, I live in South Derbyshire, but it would be 150 mile round trip for me to get tickets. I bought tickets for the 2000 final by post, so why can't we do the same this time?
