"Barnsley Babes" Although technically I suppose it should be "Barnsley Babes Plus One Or Two Slightly Older Heads"
Way I see it this colliers thing asa nickname might as well have been made up, I’ve been going for fifty odd years and until It popped up on here ever heard it used. As long as I can remember it was the reds . Mind you I also remember ‘the mugs’ during a particularly bad time
'Colliers' and 'Tykes ??' are masculine names - shouldn't we stick with something more gender neutral like The Reds ?
Is it just the name Colliers or the link with miners you don’t like, or both? People of Barnsley should be proud of our mining heritage and those that support BFC should be well aware of how much of the fan base were miners and their families for many many years.
