    To come to Oakwell, twice, with a 100% win record, and her attendance clearly being the determining factor in our seasons success, she now can't make today. However, I have instead convinced my 13 year old daughter, who hass zero interest, to go to her first ever football match. I've just spent breakfast time explaining the merits of Ogbeta creating space down the left by adopting a high full back position and the nuances of Luca Connell's role as the pivot, all soundtracked by Timerider.

    Predictions are a nil nil draw.

    My Niece came to 2/3 home games last season. We lost all 3 if I remember right. (Didn't win so I blamed her. Feeble excuse I know lol. ) Been to a couple this season won both. Thank the lord or I would lock her in the house on game day :)

    Would be interested to know if she is hooked or whether it will be her one and only appearance at Oakwell

    My wife's been to oakwell once , the 7-1 against Huddersfield, that result hasn't convinced her to ever return to oakwell. Unbelievable really

    I'm not holding out too much hope, not least because her stage school starts again next week and doesn't finish in time to get down from York. Which will also restrict my attendance. Definitely think my partner will come again on the weekends we're at home and don't have my daughter though.

    My wife has been to only one - when Isiah Rankin scored in the 89th to keep us up, against Brentford was it?

    I only wheel her out on special occasions

    Explain the off-side rule to her with the salt and pepper pot (and cruette, and sugar bowl, tomato and brown sauce bottles, vinegar, mayo and chilli flakes. You'll probably also have to include the box of cornflakes still in the cupboard but we're last used in the build up to the current table setting). Video it and put it on here so that we can all understand the current rules.

    I once finished with a girlfriend cos she was unlucky. Took her to Oakwell twice and 2 defeats. That was enough.

    I bought Laura a season ticket for 3 years in a row. Might be why she got rid of me :D.
