    Welling up at the end of that! I'm sure we'll
    That's what I was thinking. Oakwell is generally pretty good for people with access and mobility issues. Seems a massive shame that a dedicated supporter should have to stop going under these circumstances.

    Really good read that, I’ve commented many a time about the poor quality of writing on the website but that had an enjoyable style to it. I hope Derek has a great day today!

    Top bloke & a great read. My Dad is 82 now & gave up about 12 years ago due to ill health. I still wish i could get him to one more match, but he is stubborn.

    Can't be at the game today, due to work. Glad it sounds like the home end is full. Hopefully it will be a Grimsby '79 experience.
