    If they're right, that's just bizarre!

    Brentford & Swansea play twice in three days!!! Can't believe that.

    Swansea v Brentford is on Thursday at 7.45 - same time as ours.

    Sky have chosen to screen our game, though.

    Bit gutting for Brentford fans.

    Yep agreed there.

    I can see why they'd see our game as the pick though.

    Must be something to do with the police as to why they can't play Friday.

    Well it is unfair, actually. The staggered play-off dates system has worked for so many years, it's a tad weird they'd change it now. Seems to be 3 different versions knocking round - Tarn/Hudds Friday &amp; Monday, Brentford/Swansea Thursday &amp; Sunday, both 1st legs Thursday &amp; 2nd legs as above, or barnsleyfcforlife's unusual permutation.</p>

    next weeks fixtures in The Green un says both play thursday, but it also says provisional

    You're right.

    We can't have our home game on Sunday as the Giants are at home chasing eggs around.

    Don't think SYP fancied having 6,000 Town fans in Barnsley on a Friday night, either.

    Ah! Now that starts to put some light on it about the egg chasers. Hope they don't knack the pitch up.

    Yes. 6000 Huddersfield fans in Barnsley.

    They'll be 4000 Barnsley fans in Huddersfield.

    Presuming you do give us all of your away end?

    Nowt to do with what each team could sell, just the size of the respective away ends.

    only because of your piffling away end

     although I think the gate at <strike>glapharm </strike>leeds road may be bigger.</p>

    If the away end was limitless I am sure we would bring 10,000.</p>

    The stay aways at oakwell are proving difficult to tempt back at the moment</p>

    Yes, I know.

    Just informing Micky Finn of the size of our away ends.

    Is that like getting your end away, like?

    "Piffling" :D

    In relation to some of the eyesores we've both had to visit, it's a fooking palace.

    Must say though, yours is the best away end that I've encountered, and another reason I was glad we are meeting, better than trawling for 5 hours to play in Swansea's shiny plastic (toilet) bowl.

    this is not fair.</p>

    relegated supporters applauding us.</p>

    Playoff rivals being reasonable.</p>

    bugger...whats the world coming to??</p>
