I drove a group there in the “PSI Minibus”. Hired it for the weekend many times while stationed at RAF Upavon to take mostly WRAFs home to Yorkshire and back Sunday nights. The little excursion to Chester was an extra treat on the Saturday. It was an old Sherpa vehicle but covered the 600 miles or so that weekend very well.
Was ian rush playing for them? Remember this game and the atmosphere like it was yesterday (apart from the ian rush query)
That kit, the excitement of being a Barnsley fan at that time - personally had only seen us in 4th div, so to get promoted again to 2nd div was magical. It's ******* w@nk now. Similar feelings when we got to the Prem, plus Andy Ritchie's promotion side, and the play-off team of 2016. Ruined by poor off field management.
He signed for Liverpool in the 1980 / 81 season so while I can't be sure I think he would have been playing.
Gives you goosebumps thinking what our midfield would be like now with those two in it. Ronnie Glavin for the flair and the goals and Alan Little taking no prisoners
Think this was in the league game, sure that in the fa cup tie we won 2-1 with Ian Banks scoring a last minute penalty
Kin ell ‘Animal’ would only get a third of a season in, in the lightweight game we have today after suspensions!
