Talking of falling league attendances. Here are ours for this season. Unbeaten at home, but rather than getting bigger, they're going the other way if anything. https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/barnsley/attendances
A All I can say Nudger , its a good job you do not live in London , sorting out who should support who, would have you in a right dizzy spin !
If he did then they'd be about 600 million people living in the London area with a further 100 million that call London their home...
That’s true. IMO there is nothing being done at Barnsley to widen the appeal of the club or create something that the people of Yorkshire in places like Wakefield can relate to. A suggestion: Barnsley Football Club Yorkshire Tykes
What is done at Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds to widen to appeal to include folk from outside their cities?
Leeds earlier this year put season ticket posters up in Huddersfield train station... didn't go down well!
Here's a link to Leeds supporters club and all its official branches. As much as we might not like it, they have international appeal, but that hasn't happened overnight. It probably goes back to the days of Don Revie, and generations of Barnsley folk have supported them since then. It's in their blood now. You have to ask what we were doing when leeds were the team to beat. Those ties take time to build and it would take something really special for us to turn the tide. https://www.leedsunitedsupportersclub.org.uk/branches/
I am seriously canvassing support for the Reds down here in Thailand on holiday. Pattaya Reds! Got a few Russians on board and one or two ladyboys. Getting some wristbands made with Barnsley FC - and wearing the shirt and selling the idea to motoribke taxi boys who have Man Utd or Arsenal stickers on their bikes. Going well so far - I am thinking of chartering a flight for the next big game.....PATTAYA REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some of the bar girls seem keen too....you nice guy, where you from? Barns -er -lee I like your wallet
A tha daft ??? Does someone actually need to point out how much these clubs have spent on players in comparison to Barnsley. Jeez.
Why do you think they did that? Why do you think they hijacked the white rose and started to play in white? If you talk to Leeds fans they genuinely believe that Leeds United represents ALL OF YORKSHIRE. One thing they don’t have in their name is TYKE - which of course is synonymous to people throughout Yorkshire. The term ‘Yorkshire’ has great selling power. It is seen as something substantial with value. Any business would seize the opportunity and use the nickname of Yorkshire to its full potential.
Glad we've finally heard what your ridiculous "We should be called the Yorkshire Tykes" posts have been alluding to for the last 2 years. To most people, this just isnt true. FYI.
Makes me laugh that someone barks on about people from Barnsley going to watch leeds and Wednesday, when they don't go to the games themselves half of the time. Very fooooookin rich
