Sunderland v Leeds 40116(crackin crowd for asecond tier game)</p>

Derby v Wolves 31920</p>

S'ampton v Palace 30548</p>

West brom v Preston 22905</p>

Coventry v Ipswich 22154</p>

Hull v Leicester 18523</p>

Cardiff v Plymouth 17299</p>

Barnsley v Burnley 12842(poor by comparison, considering Burnley brought at least 3k, how come we didn't turn up in numberstoday, boxing day is normally well attended?)</p>

Colchester v Luton 5427 </p>

 

Ours was poor considering they brought a fantastic following that added a lot to the atmosphere. But i guess if people can only afford one christmas match this one was never going to beat Wednesday.

 

Maybe people would like to know whats happening at Oakwell?

I dont see Kevin Blackwell and the journeymen that will follow putting bums on seats.

 

Part timers annual day out is on saturday

the fickle barnsley folk can't cope with 2 games in a week,no offence to those skint ill etc its the sort who will be giving it the big one saturday like they come every week but actually their first game since cardiff</p>

 

2800 Burnley fans. nt

 

Big Brother You Speak Wise And Truthful Words. nt

.

 

I'll be in the points then hopefully with that attendance in redrags league

 

I can only afford one game this christmas (what with living 150+ miles away)

and today was that game, granted it was because my sis offered me a lift, but I think that would make you wrong?

 

Oxford got 11,000 in conference Vs Crawley!!! What's that all about?!!

 

i reckon there was more than 12,000 bcos lookin around i didnt think there was 10.000 empty seats

 

And that my friends is why we wont attract a " Big Name Manager" to this club. This town and its people have got what it deserves, I have said it before and I will say it again you have to match your outgoings to your income if you dont get people through the door on a regular basis you cant plan for the future. I hate to say it, but the scum from Sheffield do get people through the gates even when they are doing bad so they can afford to take a gamble, we dont and we can't.

 

You can say that again nt

 

spot on

just regarding attendances

it wasnt long ago Barnsley was the 4oth most deprived place in Europe. Also, Ticket prices have risen in a short space of time.

theylll be 15,000-16,000 Barnsley fans at the Wednesday game

there were 25,000 fans at Cardiff

35,000 at Wembley

filled Oakwell every game (18,000+) in the prem season (depending on away following)

Weve got the potential to get alot higher attendances, but i dont think that will happen until the borough is re-developed (more jobs created), and the west stand is re-developed.

 

***** wasn't it? I blame Airy.

 

Pissed? nt

 

F**k you. You're only one vote less funny than me.

Which is

a) sad

b) f**k you, I used to win this thing. By miles.

c) Just. And that.

 

Absolute bullsh*t

This is one of the largest towns in the country.</p>

I was reading the list just yesterday.</p>

Fair enough we have local neighbours (cities) that can pull in larger crowds at the moment. Remember pre-strike?</p>

We had the biggest of all the local sides inclusive of the north east ones as well.</p>

We have a borough of over 250,000 people - some wednesdayites, leeds, unitedites, man utd bums but so does every town round here.</p>

We can get 15,000-20,000 if we are succesful and I'm afraid thats the rubiks cube. Next years puzzle??</p>

Keeping Hassel, Kay, and Atkinson.</p>

I did already know about Atkinson before today like.</p>

 

Proper fan alert.
