You can’t play both at the stadium on the same day, without a good few hour break in between - there isn’t the room or segregation for it. That’s...
Yup, this is the financial game they have to play for every early cup game at Oakwell. It’s often better to have these early games away in terms...
Considering the clocks go back, and it’s bonfire night on Sunday, then perhaps they thought Friday was easier for fans (or at least home fans)....
I don’t think Oakwell can always support 2 home fixtures - Saturday and Sunday, due to pitch maintenance required between the two games....
Makes sense though - end of half term. 2 games in one weekend for the kids to see. Can see the thinking behind it.
Agree tbf. But that is still just the East Stand and Away end only needed to accommodate 7k.

Yeah exactly. And it seems this was mainly instigated by SYP, not the club.
Not if the ladies game was already down and booked in for Oakwell on the Sunday - which it will have been…..
No, that’s poor. The ladies deserve the backing. Leave them out of it.
The problem is, the Horsham Manager doesn’t understand that as a club, we have issues all the time with SYP. Not much we can do with them usually....
2nd half we made plenty of subs and were looking to just see out the game. Sat-Tues-Sat this week - you have to manage energy levels and try not...
Excellent post. Fully agree. We’re not unique in giving financial incentives - that’s how it all works. Just got to hope that trading is...
Got to be said - our home kit has been quite plain for years. I know we’ve had patterns built into it, but nothing special. What he’s saying in...
Agree. The design/ordering lies with BFC. The manufacturing/quality with Puma. The distribution with Fanatics. Fanatics’ can’t distribute what...
