    He's still trying to get his head around the concept of the internet, so I think his question was in relation to ebay ;)

    It's a website where you can buy things using money, .:Tyke:.

    I assume you'd say the same thing about someone who would buy one with London Tykes on?

    I know multiple people who were born in Sheffield, support one of the Sheffield teams, but now live in Barnsley. I don't get your point.

    I think it's different. Supporters groups of football clubs spring up in towns and cities all over the world. But it's usually when the fans are a long way from home. It allows like minded folk to socialise together, watch their football team together on TV or travel together to games. Barnsley and Sheffield are interconnected. If you move house hundred yards up the road you can move from one town to the other. It's possible to move from Barnsley to Sheffield and actually get closer to Oakwell. There are thousands of people born and bred in Barnsley who live in Sheffield, and vice versa. The way you support your team doesn't change if you move from one place to the other - you get in your car/on the bus, meet up with the same mates in the same pub before the game, watch the match and maybe get home 10 minutes later than you did before. You don't need to seek out fellow fans in your new postcode because you haven't really gone anywhere. Any need for a supporters club in your new town isn't there. It's just provocative imho.

    We already have evidence that it is, it's provoked someone on this forum.

    Although you could probably do that with a fluffy teddy and a bar of chocolate.

    It's the use of the word 'Blades' that offends me, not that there's a group of Sheffield-based Barnsley fans.

    They're small communities in the local area. Small villages where it makes sense to group together. Barnsley isn't a small community, much as many Blades fans would want you to believe that. It's an area of 100s of square miles. There are areas in it that are closer to Sheffield city centre than Barnsley. Why would people from Goldthorpe, Wortley, Darton and Brierly identify themselves as one and the same and a separate group from Sheffield based United fans when they live so far apart and could just as easily meet up in Sheffield as Barnsley?

    Tankersley Blades I could understand or Penistone Owls or whatever, small communities where enough people live there who support a particular club to make it worthwhile, but Barnsley Blades isn't that.

    Correct. My, going down the local jacket, sports a Reds badge. The pub's less than a mile from Bumhole Lane.

    Does that make me an Agent Provocateur?
