Scoreboard dropping to bits on national television

No food or drink available within the ground
Clubshop locked up
Traffic chaos and not a bit of stewarding in sight
Queues around the block to get into some turnstiles while others sit empty because somebody made a decision that two turnstyles opening into exactly the same area of the ground cannot be used by the same people regardless of how big the queues are
Tickets sold with seat numbers on only for somebody to change the game to unreserved without telling anyone ensuring mayhem when people find others sat in their seats.

Well done Barnsley. You excelled yourself.

Utterly fecking embarrassing

 

By the fook,we love a good old moan on here.... Six weeks without a match and every bellyache about Oakwell is released.

Long time till August, best get a cat to kick...

 

Or you know we could try to be a professional multimillion pound business. Just a thought like.

 

Nah. Nowt to moan about....mind you, I'd imagine you'd find summat.

 

Are the club allowed to have the club shop open when it's an England game?

 

Why wouldn't they be

 

I don't care to be honest, I've got a phone to see how long is left, I can remember the score, I'm capable of going a couple hours without food and drink, and I got in on time, as long as I get to see the match I really don't give a flying Fu'ck about all the ***** people are moaning about, I understand why some are pissed off and they have a valid point but I couldn't give a toss mi sen

 

I understand the club are not allowed to open the shop during an England match.

 

Fantastic post!!! Really made me chuckle.

 

You forgot the birdshit, cobwebs and grease on the seats.

 

Anyone who went, some for the first time, will tell the same story. Embarrassing for a professional football club.
The people sat near me were from Manchester and Burnley. They went for a drink of pop and a bag of crisps for the kids 10 minutes BEFORE half-time, queues a mile long and no pop or crisps. The club knew the Ponty End was a sell-out but it looked like they were expecting a crowd of 500 with no kids. It was 70% kids and they didn't cater for them. The ground, pitch, crowd and team all looked good but the organisation was a complete shambles.- no getting away from it.

 

In my defence listing Barnsley's failings in their ability to run a professional customer based business is like trying to remember all of the items in the generation game conveyor belt.

I also forgot delaying kick off beyond the original 30 minutes but neglecting to tell those inside the stadium. Instead they constantly stated 'kick off in a few minutes' when in actual fact a concsious decision had been made to delay it again for a set period of time.

 

Which common BFC complaint would you say is the cuddly toy? Did we still have Lindleys?

 

Why did you bother going to the match when you could have watched it on the telly?

 

Understood,but, in normal everyday life there's lots we can live without but it's what's become the norm and expected .AT home you don't need a telly or a microwave and certainly don't need fizzy pop when there's water in tap .

In today's era of modern football that encourages high price tags on everything from replica shirts to match day tickets it's imperative the club has all the modern day regalia that is expected of a 'championship' quality club. A modern scoreboard or at the very least an easily read one ,quality catering or at least plenty of essentials served in a professional and timely manner and on and on.....this was an international of any standard that had congregations of people from all over the north ,there were even people I saw there fro Birmingham ,having a laugh at the chaos that had been served up.... Move forward Barnsley ,the board and indeed Mr Cryne ,were all proud of our club and want all visitors to see our pride .....
