Renewed my new season pass earlier. Well, Crystal did it for me! My late Father bought me my first for the 1969/70 campaign. This last sentence doesn't make me a better fan, or a more knowledgeable one. It simply makes me an old bugger!
I just feel sorry for the likes of barnsley66, jedione, nezbfc & his family, Jay & his family. They all have to put up with me. AGAIN!
I've got an image of Whitey in my mind, with him putting his head in his hands and saying "Oh, no! Not that daft, old muppet again!"
I think Crystal & Laura have got fed up with me, Ian, and like the idea of getting me out of the house more often, if everything goes well on the Covid front!
Be interesting lil. The uptake before the end of this week.when the offer ends. May well beat this season's uptake. Which would be astonishing. Think it was 8k+. A few on here and several I've spoken to mentioning they didn't get one this season but have for next. I Think Dane will be a happy man.
'68-'69 was my 1st season ticket year as well ! My Dad bought it for me as I'd not missed a home game for the (unbeaten at home) promotion of '67 - '68 (managed to geto the Chesterfield, Lincoln and Notts County away wind that season. Guess it migjt jave been the motivation for you/your Dad also ?
1968/69 was my first season, '69/70 was my first with a season ticket. I blame my late Father for turning me into a Barnsley FC supporter! He waited until I could watch a match through it's entirety before taking me down to Oakwell.
