they will always be a Barnsley FC

so enjoy yer summers getting table service in pubs and see you all 1st game of the season

 

I’ve been mulling this over, since the talk of ground ownership etc. And ending with the ESL fiasco.

It seems that whilst we have no say and no input, it’s Us. We’re the club.

In my relatively short time as a Barnsley fan; I’ve gone through 4? Owners, a dozen or more managers, hundreds of players (including some club legends). And if tomorrow they decided to build a new stadium on the Dearne Valley, we’d suck that up too.

So all that leaves is you lot, the nice guys and girls, the racist chanters, the old bloke that takes a mini brown sauce container (inside jacket pocket) for his half time pork pie. Half time draws and bumping into long lost mates. Minority Report and Majority Report.

The clubs soul is in the stands, everything else is an employee, an asset, incidental, they come and they go, all that remains is the fans.

 

They will indeed

 

Sure they will, boah

 

This is what I was trying to ask. And I think you're right. Without thinking too deeply about it, perhaps this is the sacred link that was broken by AFC Wimbledon/MK Dons?

 

Yes.. one of the few strong decisions made by the FA is to stop that happening again.

Even clubs that go bust completely, if they reappear as Phoenix clubs (or indeed Wimbledon), the fans return.

 

There will.
