No way was there 297 there today. More like 150. Fair play to those that did travel though. True fans.

There were over 190 of them in the south/south east seats + the bigger clump in the East Stand so 297 is totally believable.

I dont.
For a CHAMPIONSHIP club on a bank holiday weekend they DESERVE to be sent packing with a truly league one away following. f*** them and bring on yorkshires finest with weds and leeds.

Some people on here are very forgetful, it wasn't long ago when we were taking 250-300 odd to places like Barnsley and Hartlepool on Saturday afternoons (i bet most of you criticising their support now didn't even go to these games) Fair play to the Barnsley fans who made the trip i say.

Twat. A team deserves to be in a league based on performances, not how many fans they bring to the south cost for a 500 mile round trip. Look at Wigan.

Quite. I can't wait to look at Wigan tonight. Let's hope they get plenty of coverage on MOTD

Will be interesting to see how many we take to Barnsley and the likes later this season. We don't have the best away support in the world, with all the northern away games this season i bet that Barnsley have a better away average than us by the end of the season.

A good turnout considering the expense of going to an away game. If I went to Burnley next week we're talking about £80 for the day (train , ticket and food) and it's not all that far away from Crap Town (90 miles).

Cheaper away tickets next season?
Would be a bit unfair on us though..

What are you talking about ? According to last season's stats we were at least top 6 in the championship for average amount of away fans travelling per game!

You must be thinking of a different Barnsley, because the team we played today struggles to get around 10k to home games let alone a few hundred to away games, especially down South. No comparison with us over the course of the season. I can't recall exactly but think our poorest by some way was about 200 to Hull on a freezing February night just after a sequence of brilliantly supported away games including 6k Albion fans to Anfield.
I have some sympathy for the Barnsleys of this footie world, they are not the most glamorous club and sit in the shadow of several so called bigger clubs plus I guess there isn't the same affluence in that neck of the woods at the moment so good luck to their few die hard fans who made the effort today.

Oh, sorry. That sketch actually needs as many as four Yorkshiremen...

It was like trying to love a cat, that ultimately you knew, you had to put down. Well done you sick, sick, Barnsley.
