As has been said - fair play to them. But that really was poor numbers for a Championship side on a Saturday at 3 o clock.
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.
and I think they could tell from the first few minutes they weren't going to get anything from the game...did spot one of them dressed as a banana though!
Was one of them Michael Parkinson - professional northerner and lifelong Barnsley fan?
Of the 200 odd Barnsley fans I wonder how many actually travelled down from Barnsley?
Southern clubs always benefit from the London effect - we all have supporters clubs based in the capital.
More impressed with a southern club taking similar numbers up north, as they don't have the equivalent.
Less than 300 on a Saturday, bank holiday weekend in August is not good.
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.
Respect to their manager Keith HIll, who on the bbc said he was equally responsible for the inept display. .
Think our lowest was for Wrexham.
They'd gone to Cardiff to watch Sussex demolish Yorkshire.
As on 1st february 2010 you posted thisPrice is no excuse for this lot. I can see why people would want to boycott Paul Barber's obscene £34 tickets, but any club bringing less than 1,000 can all buy £28 tickets, which is probably only a couple of quid overpriced and not enough to make anybody cancel their plans for an away match. Barnsley's support yesterday was a total disgrace, get them f***ed off to League Two as soon as possible I say.
I think it's safe to ignore you.Poyet is an absolute joke as far as I'm concerned in the transfer market. Other aspects of him I like and respect, but so far in terms of players signed he's been a calamity. I'm not sure what's worse - the fact we've hardly signed anyone or that those we have signed are either shite or mediocre. Carole? Someone from Cambridge? El Abd on a new deal? No midfielder at all? The man's a f***ing idiot in that respect, and my prediction for us to go down is looking better than ever.
You mean Yorkshire demolish Sussex.
I was there and it wasn't great for us, but it was better than I expected. I thought it would be less than the 198 we took to Ipswich last year.
Were honestly rubbish on the road, the last time we kept a clean sheet away was a year ago yesterday against Millwall, and our last away win was over Lesta in Jan.
The fan that was arrested, got involved in a argument in the box office, or on his way. Two of them were cuffed but one was let go.
We made a good day of it, but the result and been spat on kind of left a damp note on the day. And put many off going to Swansea tonight.
