Things that I discovered today

1. The Barnsley jaguars only have one routine.

2. The Barnsley Jaguars have disproved the claim that practice makes perfect.

3. Barnsley fans are thick. A big, clear sign on the window of the box office says "Brighton and collections. This door" still has fan after fan walking in saying 'can I buy brighton tickets here' or 'where do I buy match day tickets from'. Learn to fecking read.

4. Hardly anyone took up the ill fated chronicle £10 off offer. In 40 of the 60 minutes they could be used today I didn't see a single person use one and even if they did and I missed it it can't have been many as less than 10 people bought match day tickets at all in that time.

5. The club is absolutely crazy for putting such a short time limit on said ticket offer.

6. Our box office staff are ridiculously slow at serving customers.

7. When three windows are selling ONLY season tickets you'd think they'd have a stack of books in front of each operator but no not at Barnsley. At Barnsley they are all kept at the other end of the counter meaning they have to leave their desk to go and get one for every single customer.

8. Advertising home games is clearly an afterthought at Oakwell. In the box office there are three notice boards. One with random offers or leaflets on, one for away games and one for home games. The one for home games (ie our primary source of income) is conveniently tucked away behind a roller blind. Nice one Barnsley.

9. The club pretend that they don't want fans on the pitch but in reality they make no attempt at all to stop them.

10. "Sorry we havent got any burgers. Sorry we havent got any chips. We've got meat and potato or steak and kidney pies" is an acceptable response to asking for hot food at a football stadium refreshment stand. I don't care if it is outsources Don, that is absolutely pathetic and makes BFC look amateurish.

11. Jacob Butterfield could not look less interested in Barnsley FC if he tried.

12. Bobby Hassells young un looks like a decent player.

13. Bobby Hassells competitor for the right back slot is nowhere near as good as he is.

14. We couldn't score in a brothel.

15. We played ok, I enjoyed the match.

16. Jim O'Brien only gives 10%

17. Nobody will ever know who came second or third.

18. The groundsman deserve a lot of credit this season.

19. Pamela anderson has really let herself go.

20. So has scooby doo.

 

I was with you until number 16. What absolute garbage. He's brilliant.

 

It's a reference to a mistake in the programme where Jim O'Brien says fans don't give him an extra yard of pace as he already gives 10 percent. I assume somebody missed a 0.

 

Ah, right, in that case I shall apologise! ;-)

 

1) The supposed to be red Coca Cola boards above catering huts have been up that long they are now a mixture of orange and white.

2) Collins has a bonnie daughter.

3) The customer service is ****. People queuing at the box office to give hundreds of pounds told that they were not letting anyone else join the queue and wasn't even opening after the match for say an hour.

4) Our club no matter what they say don't really care about fans going on the pitch because if they did they wouldn't use the same old failed routine year after year to keep them off.

5) The bogs still have a poster up advertising the WWE Smackdown Tour that happened last November that would take a minute to remove.

 

Plus if you book online you get charged over a fiver in special delivery unless you pick up in person and that's on top of the booking fee and season ticket charges.

 

My daughters a competing cheerleader and it is bloody hard! The time they put in is incredible

 

A bit harsh on the Jaguars I think; they're only young girls and I'm sure they do their best. Something I discovered today was that the box office decided not to open after an early kick off to allow fans to buy season tickets after the game. There were quite a few of us wanting to hand over money after the game but couldn't. Not opening after the game, even for just an hour, was a bizarre decision IMO.

 

Why do the Jaguars wear blue?

 

i dont know and anyhow they always looked better in bristish racing green!

 

i also learned that even though they had nothing riding on the game Brighton players are dirty cheats like their manager, I can only imagine the level of gamesmanship they stoop to if the game means something.

 

Add to that:

Bulls have zero pace in the back line.

Carvell is still one of the best props in the game.

Worcester boilers are overrrated.

Wine is quite nice.
