    Every single one of them should be refunded at least the price of their ticket after today. All 419 of them. Because even after 6 disgraceful performances away from home, they've still travelled down in decent numbers to support their team, most of whom clearly couldn't give a toss as long as they get paid. Not satisfied with losing at home to Fleetwood, they've now allowed Crawley Town to score 5 against them. They have no shame, no pride, and I wouldn't blame any of the fans down there for boycotting the next away game. Disgraceful, shameful, embarrassing.

    Well yes, credit to all those there in a pathetic crowd of just over two thousand. Let's not forget that a good number of the 400 will be southern based Reds, as I used to be.

    I hope this isn't a premonition of what is to come with Conference crowds of less than a thousand turning up to watch the once mighty Barnsley.

    My heart goes out to our lads who on a bad day have to endure these out of confidence players losing. Long way home.

    I abandoned away games after Donnie. I might now have to abandon home games. Waste of time and money. Despite having a season ticket at least I don't waste any time. I know I will go to Crewe but really my patience in watching any sign of winning a game or entertaining is waining.

    The refunds should come out of the shameful players wages.

    Crystal Palace did exactly that a few seasons back

    they came to Oakwell and we totally belittled them.... Pace FC refunded them their money. Cryne should do the same with the cash coming from the entire squad of players that were named today.

    Unfortunately it's kind of how I'm beginning to feel too. I have a 2 hour drive each way for home games, and I just don't enjoy it at all at the moment

    Despite knocking 5 in against us Crawley still have the worst GD in the league , that's how chuffing bad they are
    You can only surmise the players don't want Burton or Hecky to get the job

    Precisely. Even though, as PoR says, a decent number will be southern based Reds fans. I can't even comprehend what the fans who've travelled down from Barnsley will be feeling right now. Hopefully pissed as farts.

    I think we should refund their money. I have to say though, it was a pretty high risk to go their and expect anything entertaining given poor performances are the norm

    I would disagree if we were talking about any other team than Barnsley. They'd just lost 5-0 at home to a fairly mediocre Doncaster side. They'd won 1 in 18. We'd just sacked our manager and should have been playing with a freedom not afforded in the last few months. They were managed by Dean ******* Saunders. But because it's Barnsley we were always destined to lose today. It's what we do best.
