I've watched Barnsley fc now for over 53 years and have found that we 1.Always do well against the better teams 2. Play poorly against teams we are expected to be 3. When underdogs we show true grit and win against the odds. We are Barnsley Football Club from God's county of Yorkshire. We can and will beat Stockport County from Greater Manchester. We have done it before and we will do again. Keep the faith and cheer the team on!! Come on You Reds!

Well I put the post on because I am fed up with the negativity that on the site. I thought a bit of optimism for a change would not come amiss.
