Re: Suggestions for Barnsley themed half time entertainment: Lets go back to the good old days. Perhaps we can feed a Christian to a lion or burn some heretics at the stake in the centre spot during half time. Increase club income by having a phone vote for worst player and they are instantly subbed and put in the stocks for the crowd to lob rotten fruit at. If it was good enough for the Romans then its good enough for us
Bring back the penalties against Toby at half time in the ponte end goal at least getting toby involved in the half time entertainment will get the kids interested. Toby just seems redundant these days and does nothing other than walk round the pitch at half time. I get to the games usually just before kick off, does he do owt before the match. i remember he used to run from the center spot and score a goal
Re: Bring back the penalties against Toby at half time in the ponte end goal it'd help if there were some kids there to get interested in the first place,i've said it before,,,,for the life of me i cant understand why the club cant let school kids in for a couple of quid tops...at least they'd be getting them involved and interested at an early age,so for me all school kids under the age of 16,£2 tops.,,then a fiver for kids (young adults) in further education,ie,college/university..its this age group that will make the most racket so for f**ks sake do summat to get em in.... as for half time entertainment,,its 15 mins or so,i'm pretty sure the lack of entertainment aint the reason people are staying away. we are in a recession,and like most other businesses in the country the club is suffering partly cause there isnt much disposable cash about..
Re: Bring back the penalties against Toby at half time in the ponte end goal Most folk i know go for the football. They chat to each other at half time and probably would not watch the enetertainnment if there were any. Makes me think that half these suggestiona are coming from them that take kids and cant be arsed to entertain them themselves.
if they had something for five minutes before kickoff/h/t prior to teams coming out just to get crowd going a bit. it would be a start.
Re: Bring back the penalties against Toby at half time in the ponte end goal Have you seen the sticky thread from Gally http://v2.barnsleyfc.org.uk/showthread.php?164371-FAO-Junior-Football-Teams The club and Trust are trying to get junior supporters interested. As to the half time game, that is fully booked up with a waiting list. If you have any idea's on alternative options for the kids for next season, I am sure we would be happy to listen.
Why do schools need insurance to give free tickets out? The schools dont take the kids, just give them the tickets!! Or have I missed something?
If half time gets any worse I'll be leaving the hip-flask at home and bringing the whole flaming bottle with me.
Used to enjoy the kids playing 5-a-side at half time. Thinking they had a schools competition one year.
