What a Bunch of billy elliot's (No Punt Intended :) )

Starts off, with a set of complete numpties:

"I'll be there. Went up there for the last game of the season a few years back and it really does have a 60's feel about the place. My lasting memory is the long old slog over that hill to get from the ground to the station and back."

It's a 5 minute walk, Billy no legs.

But then a couple of very decent people enter the conversation:

"I went last season (cheap seats) and to be totally honest, I didn't think it was THAT bad. Maybe it's an easy cliché to slate Barnsley so our expectations are so much worse, or maybe it's because it was quite dark (evening game). But my recollection is that I've been to far worse places in pursuit of the Albion. Birkenhead. Blackburn. Croydon (obviously). Very friendly locals. Possibly helped by (a) their low pre-match expectations and (b) them subsequently winning. Found an extremely pleasant pub no more than ten minutes from the ground. What's not to like?"

"I went last season and have to say other than the defeat I thought it was all rather pleasant. Stayed overnight in the best premier inn I've ever been to with my son for about £40. Barnsley seemed quite nice, in an old Yorkshire town way.
This time, I'm taking both junior Giraffe's, staying Friday night in the premier inn, so looking forward to seeing Barnsley on a saturday morning. I'm sure it will be very nice indeed. Let's hope we win this time though."

"Yep. Proper old school club. Very much a local team. Unfashionable, and right on Sheffield's doorstep. But a good club."

 

It makes Cleethorpes look like Monte Carlo !!! Fecking tosspots, and 8 of them booked into a box as well, hope security throw them out at kick off
