    Many years ago on TV there was a programme called Top Towns or summat similar.
    Contestants from two towns battled out a talent contest with each week being Two different towns .
    This particular show had Barnsley v Wakefield with Eddie Waring being one of the judges .
    On the show Barnsley did an hilarious song and act called “Wheers the Goyle Oyle” and had the singers dressed as 1800s footballers .
    I think if memory serves Barnsley actually won the show with Eddie Waring favouring the Wakefield side because of the rugby but we’re disqualified soon after .
    Think it was late seventies early eighties and I just wondered if anyone had any footage especially of the song they could post .
    It was a funny song and with our current infrequent goals it would be fitting .
    Cheers in advance .

    No this one was a TV show I think it only lasted one series .
    It’s not necessarily called Top Towns tbh , my memories not as good but I can vaguely remember it .
