    I don't think they are

    I'm sure i remember reading something in Chron a while back about this. I don't think they got any support because of BFC not folding.

    If I remeber rightly

    Suddenly shut down mid-season - about March this year, rendering all their league results up to that point void.</p>

    Very odd carry on.</p>

    Official line if I remember rightly was they were formed when it looked as if Barnsley FC might cease to exist and now that the club looks to be secure their reason for existance had gone.
    Bit strange they quite the league mid season - well towards the end actually - but they didn't fulfill all their fixtures

    looks like you can buy their domain name if you want http://www.afcbarnsley.co.uk/
