We should be surprised? As a supporter for over 39 years I find this all very insulting. I have never felt so disconnected from the club.
As outlined in my earlier post, the club gave the following indications regarding their contingency plans in the event of relegation. • ‘Early Bird’ offer for season tickets to be launched this Christmas. Half price for those renewing before 1st January 2016. Price increase of 15% for anyone renewing after 1st May 2016. • Hourihane, Scowen and Mawson designated ‘saleable assets’. Potential recruits from the Conference to be identified in the New Year and added to the development squad. • Home supporters to occupy the East Stand only (upper and lower) for season 2016-17, with savings on stewards and other matchday staff. This will “increase the volume of support for our players”. • A new supplier of pies to be appointed in order to improve the ‘matchday experience’. • A new ‘retro’ scoreboard to be constructed along the lines of the one that used to occupy the old spion cop. This will be manually operated by volunteers to be recruited from the BFCST. • An option to purchase land in the Dearne Valley to be obtained in order to fully secure the future of the club. • Talks to be set up to discuss the possibility of a merger with Shaw Lane Aquaforce at an as yet, unidentified future date. It is anticipated by the Board that these steps will reassure loyal fans that it has the club’s best interests at heart.

Its on a power point presentation at Barnsley College ! Strip down to the Keks cause you will be sweating you Knick Nacks off in the room when the presentation starts
Shambolic , the owner says hes off but has only told his friends on facebook. Since then not a murmur from anyone on the board. The club goes into meltdown , goes on a horrendous losing streak as the club drifts without a captain. The motormouth Chief Ex goes mute, our well esteemed chairman carrys on with his one man hide and seek game. Our young manager is hung out to dry trying to cope with the boards flawed transfer policy with not a vote of confidence or nowt to back him up. Do they not realise this lack of transparency and dialogue is ruining our club. Whispers about this and that, about 20 loans already this season when we were promised different. Barely a single permanent signing made for a year of any note, wage bills slashed , away support dropping by thousands for the same game a season later, and nothing from the Board or supporters trust to give the fans a glimmer of hope that anything will change. Oh , the joys of being a Barnsley fan.
