    Re: Would a European Super League have the same effect?

    Good point - only thing I'd like to see is a declaration that any clubs joining a Euro league would have to start back at the bottom of the league pyramid if/when the Euro league ended/folded.

    Re: I want to be entertained . . .

    When was the last time you were entertained by one of our games but we lost?

    I remember under Paul Hart the games were exciting, but mainly because we tried to outscore them - I didn't hear to many people claiming to be happy about it though.

    As I'm playing devils advocate, could you eloborate on what you would class as entertainment?

    I understood a packed oakwell was an aspiration rather than a statement of 96/97 fact

    I yearn for the Oakwell of 79 to 82

    Re: I want to be entertained . . .

    Are you after what I personally class as entertaining? Or are you after some sort of dictionary definition?

    Am I happier when we win? Yes. But I never used to question the entertainment when we lost. The team, manager and so on yes, but not the entertainment. Maybe its the financial blow it deals when I go now, or maybe I'm just getting older, I don't know. But for some reason at the minute I feel different about Barnsley FC as an entertainment. I still support them and will do till the day I die . . . . BUT for me if I take the cost and the enjoyment of going to watch Barnsley compared to other things I find entertaining, Barnsley FC is losing.

    To finish top 6

    And do a tidy blonde up the Harris on the centre spot while Time for heroes by The Libertines plays overs the PA.


    Is that too much to ask?
