    Having seen the uproar with new England kit and the inclusive St George's Cross on the back it got me thinking what sort of groups do we have associated with the club to support people from different back grounds and with various preferences?

    I know the club are trying to bring together a fans committee and maybe this is something that should be on the agenda?

    It is on the agenda mate. Certainly the gay community was mentioned for a rep. Different backgrounds. I assume would come under inclusivity. I'll mention it. I'm not so sure there was anyone in attendance that would be of an ethnic minority. But maybe one to put to the fanbase for someone to come forward. With a better insight as to any issues.

    That's good to know. I was hoping to attend the meetings but living in Selby and not driving made it almost impossible.

    Rainbow Reds was launched in 2021,

    I'd also say that ensuring all Barnsley fans feel represented by the Fan Advisory Board has been one of the club's top priorities in discussions so far.

    @Gravy Chips is the person for this, as it's something they are involved in I believe.

    I was there when it was set up, but haven't had any involvement since as other things took priority
