    Fast forward to the year 2078

    Il say to everyone on this forum remember when everyone used to just get there phones out and put the penalty on their Instagram story instead of telepathically sending it through their brain? And remember when everyone used to run over to the ball instead of using the hover board?

    Then my kid will say shhhhh dad I’m trying to watch Barnsley Red Bull FC and Billy Leya-Cole-Watkins-Smith-James-White-Howard play!!!!

    Thooooose we’re the days il say these lads would never hack it down the coal mines!

    The year is 2061. Only the West Stand is open since the discovery of the banned substance “plastic” in the other three stands. The traffic problem around the ground (which some people insist was once called Oakwell not Grove Street Stadium) has been solved as combustion engines were banned but there are only three electrical charging points in Yorkshire so everyone has to walk. The Jumble Lane crossing is still shut but should be open “very soon”. We’re still too good for League One but struggle most seasons in the Championship. The manager is Sir Jasper Moon, our record goal scorer with 200 in 5 seasons, once we discovered Schopp wasn’t playing him far enough forward. Red Rain still tells us that we don’t understand what we’re seeing and the entertainment value is nil (but we still go). People have given up hope of ever finding out what happened to Toby Sibbick.

    There used to be one in the sixties , it was manually operated , you got a list of matches in the 4d programme against a letter , for example A = Man u v Liverpool , B = Everton v Villa & then a guy would slide wooden numbers against the said letter on the scoreboard to tell what the half time scores were , happy days .
