    Not still reporting, just showing the most recent article that mentions Barnsley FC. Clearly says 3 days ago on it.

    Always done that, for every club. There was a time when they still had Hecky stories on our page when we’d seen both him & Morais off.

    Wonder why that got picked up as related to Barnsley FC but his passing didn't?

    Because the article mentions 'Barnsley', I'm guessing the article of his passing didn't.

    True, but the Leeds page reports his death. Just another example of us not being important enough to bother with.

    Probably looked and said he never played for Burnley.

    The BBC are notorious for being slow to change things on their website. When we were
    promoted from League One, they didn't list us as being in the Championship under the
    " All teams" section on the web page until around a week before we played our first game
    against Fulham. They did the same when Villa went up in to the Premiership.
