I found that odd too so I had a look. It was only £20 for pay at the gate. Had they pre-booked it would have been £5 for under-12's. As you say they could have planned it a bit better.

I’m guessing, based on the * on City’s Pay on the Day announcement, that they had originally put on the wrong prices. People may have made the decision to travel having seen the incorrect prices & knowing they had the budget to go.

How many kids did they have ben?
Cos it'd be a bugger but unless he had 6 kids I'd still have paid. And then grumble like **** for the rest of my life

They had two. They may not have had the readies if on a budget. Cash only. If they rolled up with £60-£70 cash expecting to pay £60 only to be told it’s gonna cost £94 they may not have had a choice.


Hopefully, as good parents, they bought two bags of salt n vinegar from the salmonella burger van & stuck the kids in the car, left them the crisps & returned to watch the game.

Surely you just pick your favourite one and take him/her in and leave the other one outside with his/her mam??

It was two blokes so maybe they couldn’t decide a favourite if they owned one each. They didn’t look like a “Modern Family” despite the “shove it up their arse” comment.

The football was dreadful for most of the afternoon and it was like watching a Sunday League game at times. The conditions didn't help but we seemed incapable of stringing a cohesive run of passes together. Playing Dicko as a lone striker isn't working and he clearly needs someone to play off. The midfield looked so lightweight without Meyler and how Henricksen stayed on is a mystery. However, it's the result which matters and we were always likely to end our poor away run with a scruffy win. I thought the substitutions changed the game for us and Campbell and Irvine both looked impressive and industrious. It should do everyone the world of good finally getting an away win and we now have something to try and build on with 3 games unbeaten. Great support yesterday and loved the banter between the fans and Fraizer Campbell in the first half! Not sure if someone said this earlier in the thread, but what was with their stewards wanting to take the protest banners down?
Really poor

Didn't think there was that many as there were far more empty seats than occupied ones. How many does it hold? Any idea how many Boro took there as just about every seat seemed full from the snippets of that game that I saw.

According to http://www.footballgroundguide.com/leagues/oakwell-barnsley.html the away stand holds 6k - we filled it in '13 and had a request for extra tickets for the stand to the right denied (Barsleh were in a relegation battle after all) - from them scoring after 5 minutes, all you could have hear was false teeth clicking and loud tuts and groans at every misplaced pass. Great to hear loud support on the excellent link provided yesterday.

Yes, I commented yesterday on how loud it sounded compared to the noise generated by larger numbers of the sit down shut up brigade at PL matches.

That's good support for City considering we haven't won away since August 2016. Hardly 2,237 glory hunters. Less all those looking for excuses to watch it in the pub/on line/ or not at all.
