    They did a preview of the local sides fixtures and said
    "Barnsley have a very nasty opening day trip away at Swansea!"

    Unbelievable, but believable if you know what I mean.
    Feel like ringing them but know they won't take any notice.
    What cheap, shoddy journalism

    Never even knew we'd played them in the Play Off Final or be bothered to check their facts

    it's because

    the original posting on the official site had the playoff final listed and then the Cardiff game-course I can't find it now as it's been changed</p>

    so a non-footy person will have glanced at it , overlooked the dates and come up with Swansea away!!</p>

    bit of a laugh really[​IMG]</p>

    RE: it's because

    That's why I said it was shoddy journalism.
    Checked that myself and saw it had been removed so didn't comment on it but knew then that they had not checked their facts.

    Yes it did

    And at first glance when I looked I thought "How come we have Swansea away!"
    Think then that Look North will have a researcher trawling through all the official sites trying to get info for early bulletin and you can see how the error would come about,

    Were they responsible for the 'Daniel Nardiello, Barnsley manager'

    I shall have words with their press representatives when I see them next season, but I'll also fire an email off ince I have more ammunition.

    You have to admit that it's real, shoddy journalism.
