We've been over this so many times it has become incredibly boring. But, since you asked, South Yorkshire is a metropolitan county and is split into four areas, Barnsley, Sheff, Donny and rham, everybody in the county is deemed to live in one or the other, even if they don't, so their population statistics are artificially inflated. To compare like with like you'd gave to add the NEDerbys and Boser figures in to the CBC one. That would give our population as a third of a million, considerably bigger than Barnsley

Yes, although I thought Shayne Bradley scored that day, just before Rhys Day showed what a true scab he was and stuck his finger up his rolf arris.

I thought Bradley got sent off after spitting at Day, after Day stamped on his "dodgy" ankle, don't recall any fingers being inserted anywhere.

No Bradley was sent off for reacting to Dey's intermit examination of his piles

Some of the gamesmanship in football is seen as being professional. However having the job of sticking a digit where the sun doesn't shine to benefit your team is pushing it more than a little. I wonder what the reaction was in the dressing room when that job was allocated...

the perk of that job must be that after the game you can run around the changing room waving your smelly finger at your team mates, while they squeal like school kids.

Being a professional club (allegedly) can we assume that mtfc practiced this manoeuvre until perfection was achieved on the training ground with ample volunteers to play the Bradley roll in fact would these volunteers be classed as "stool" pigeons

Boxing Day 1980 17169 the highest crowd at home in my 44 years,the away game was similar 17019.....

Same for me, before that it was 17133 v Barnsley in 67-68.
However my figures nothing to do with the highest crowd in a season. They are the average.
Cant find the details, but I would wager Barnsley got more than 17000 for the visits of Wednesday and United in 79-80.

[Westbars Spireite]

22,360 v Wednesday.

19,686 v United.

And that in a season when Barnsley finished up 11th.

Outside Aldi, on the traffic lights! We were in the car in the middle of it! Barnsley prats came for it and and a bit of a stand off was occurring when the police moved us on! A bit silly really!

bit of an altercation pre match on the corner of south/east stands.
when the boys in fluorescent yellow finally arrived it was quite amusing to see one of the main town protaganists enter the kop using his *disability ticket with one of his side kicks as his 'helper'.
£££s the club are losing.

* no it wasn't warfey.
