Thank you. Thank you all. We haven't stopped talking all day at the club about the emotion of it all. I just wish everyone could have been there. Never mind the result (we'll beat them Saturday), it was f****** special last night. I only hope this video gets that across.
It was one of those special nights, hair on the back of your neck moments, unbelievable there was only 4500 fans in
I will never forget the goosebumps when the players walked out. It was emotional enough just when the players came out to warm up to a great reception, Dike was smiling like a Cheshire cat. I really hope we’re all back in our seats come August.
He knows how to work a crowd that lad. I was in line with him in the East Lower when he did that. The roar he got in response sounded like there were 40,000 in there.
Absolutely brilliant evening and even watching this recap back has sent shivers down my spine. Cheers @YTBFC and all involved
It was spine tingling and emotionally overwhelming and I am so glad I was lucky enough to be part of it. For once, the result was secondary, although I wish we had won. Have spent all day reliving the moments and just can’t stop smiling. It was so special, so heart warming and so Barnsley.
I am thinking the same. We were unlucky last night and I think the team want to prove the doubters wrong. COYR.
I'm with you on that. Honestly after the game yesterday I was feeling a little bit dejected, but I fully back us now to come back stronger and win the second leg 3-1.
It’s why most Prem Clubs put the away fans in corners, to allow home fans behind both goals - creates a great atmosphere. In the Prem it’d be great if we could segregate the North Stand as it’s designed to do, and get a few thousand home fans in it.
If we get to the Prem we'll definitely have half of that stand. I think we'd have to give 2,000 (or 10% of capacity) to away fans. So yeah. We'd have that stand segregated.
I thought exactly the same last night. Ponty will always be the Ponty, but if we ever did get to a point where home fans started to creep above 16k, I’d definitely be thinking about using the North Stand for home fans. Might also be needed if/when West Stand ever gets redeveloped. If we ever got to PL I absolutely would.
