    Fair enough. I still stand by what I've posted.

    I find the best solution is to never, ever, ever listen to that godawful station.

    I don't get the angst. What's wrong with Brick? Gary Neville was on about Old Trafford rusting and they're in the Premier league already.

    1st of all, our west stand may look old, but not many grounds hold that traditional english effect, we do,
    also, i'm more embarrassed by our home grown goughie in saying eng under whatever laiked here so the pitch is beautiful !
    our pitch must be one of the worst in the football league, truly awful

    Our ground is similar to Turf Moor, after a few months in the prem people would just get used to our stadium

    Oakwell isn’t there to impress Premier League fans or pundits. One of the few downsides of going up (and we will) is we have to endure a barrow load of featureless grotesque concrete and breeze blocks ‘Stadiums’. We’re well on the way to matching them! That and the ridiculous opinions of fans of Clubs who ‘compete’ in that **** show.
    Oakwell is for our benefit not to impress the fashionistas. If it makes other teams uncomfortable when they come here - good. Any advantage helps. Stick em in the old away dressing room and put the radiator on.

    Bo||ocks to them.

    Here here. The flaky red paint, the shards of glass pointing upwards, the hotch potch nature of it.. utterly charming to me. The walk down the hill wouldn't be the same without it. Grove Street would be in tatters.

    Funny how he referenced England U21s have played on it. When was the last time, 2003?

    I don't think it is that long ago. I saw Harry Kane play for them at Oakwell.

    The ground looks shabby insofar as you get to see it on tv for a game - seats are bleached, hoardings are ancient, there's muck and rust showing, pitch doesn't help - it needs a good lick of paint and a bit of a makeover to tart it up a bit.

    Quite like the brick walls outside the ground, and inside under the East Stand it's fine due to commendable efforts recently made, if a bit inevitably breezeblock as these places often are.

    If we go up (and even if we don't) then I hope someone will turn to giving that which we see on screen a scrub up, despite the argy bargy over ground ownership.

    Adrian Durham ought to stick to nicking bent coppers, "Holy Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and the wee donkey".

    The stadium or the pitch could do with a lick of paint

    A bit like the seats, the exit gates and the BARNSLEY FC sign there's some "rose-tinted" comments on here, The ground looks dilapidated after years of next to no maintenance. A lick of paint and some red seats would be a good start.

    In the production meetings they decide who's going to say what for and against to stir a bit of shock jock stuff. Sometimes try listening to Talkcrap on the drive home from work but usually last 5 minutes before turning back to Classic FM especially if someone from those chancers Paddy Power comes on with the odds;)
