    Inspired by shenk's 'Away Kit' thread, I thought I would ask people about what would interest them at the Open Day. Each year it has been getting steadily worse and worse and less and less attended as a result. So, what sort of things would you like to see? There should still be time for the powers that be to implement any ideas they like the look of so suggest away.

    I know there will be some funny buggers who will say 'nothing would make me want to go, it's a load of rubbish' but such is life.

    Expect

    Cars for sale (Perrys)
    Inflatable table football
    Supporters trust table selling old gear and handing out fixture cards and posters
    Acorn ale tent
    Burger vans
    Small funfair
    Dearne FM stage

    In other words expecting nothing new.

    What needs to return is the ability to go round the whole ground, and a free game on the pitch not just training.

    Take a penalty against Adam Davies. Score and win a scarf.
    Prize draw, if you've bought a season ticket pay a fiver, if you win the club will comp you (and the missus/kids) in the hospitality suite for the full season.
    Get your picture taken with the trophies.

    Both trophies at least and then live draw for Europa league which I'm led to believe goes with winning the JPT :)

    A meet and greet session with Phil Gridelet .

    A half hour comedy set with Andy Ritchie and Rick Holden.

    A sponge throwing stall with Simon Davy and or Paul Hart in the stocks.

    A live stage session of the football report on stage with Carlo etc .

    A live debate with Brian the Blunt about crown green bowling.

    An interview with the players in the style of the yes and no game but substitute the yes and no with " obviously ' and gaffer .

    Oh and a guess the score contest from a previous home game with all clues to be broadcast on the scoreboard.

    6 old blokes to line up, in a 'would I lie to you' stylee and we all donate a pound to guess which is Maurice Watkins.
    How many laps of the pitch can Ben Mansford walk before collapsing (capped at 3 laps by SYP for H&S reasons)
    All events streamed live on new scoreboard.
    Guess the minute LJ will appear on new scoreboard.
    Livestream euro championships on big screen and explain concept to @arabianian
    Throw flares
    Throw seats
    And I'll have a quid on the most ironic event of 2016 that no BFC fan will enter the field of play.

    Instead of Timerider, I'd love us to come out to Dance of the Knights by Sergei Prokofiev, it would sound amazing in a full and rocking Oakwell.

    What about a barnsley old boys v another team of old boys.....i once put this to the Don and even gave him the number to contact the Sporting Lisbon old boys federation......who at the time were up for it......best bit about it was they were going to select a portugal 11 which would have included Eusebio ..... yes the Benfica player. Even today the sporting team still travel the world playing ..and even have a old boys league..something on these grounds would be an attraction.

    I've never been as I suspect it will be **** but my little one is missing Oakwell so might take her.

    What would be good would be to have some ex players to have talks from. Maybe someone like Mr Winstanley.

    Some sort of competitive game.

    Ian McMillian to write a season to come poem.

    Book launch/ DVD screenings to flog more both JPT and Wembley. I presume these could be done in Redfearns.

    Oh and Redfearns open.

    When is it anyhoo?
