How many will Barnsley bring down tomorrow?

[TheMajor]

Doesn't tell the whole story though. 300 was a magnificent effort on a weeknight considering that the south east was in the grip of snow and ice and the roads had been in a real mess for several days. I recall the thought of getting to Barnsley and back was a real test of determination, especially with a risk of the match being called off at very short notice (like the game at Blackburn had been called off a few weeks earlier).

What he forgets to mention is that the previous season we took 1357 on a weekend while Palace took 228 !

Away attendances for all teams last season of no interest because the info comes from a Palace board? Don't be so precious.

not precious at all...its supposed to be a Barnsley away attendance thread..simples..not who's got the biggest dick

While the snow and ice was an issue, the game wasn't ever in danger of being called off.

Is it POTG (Day)? 1 official supporters coach (3/4 full) + taxi + mini bus = 47

What has a list of away attendances last season, which I just happened to find on a Palace site, got to do with who has the biggest dick? You may not find it of any interest but I thought others might, surprised you feel strongly about it tbh

Yes I recall bizarrely how mild and snow free it was in Barnsley compared to back in the grim frozen South. In fact it was probably warmer that night than the equivalent fixture at Oakwell the previous season which was the last game of the season and chuffing freezing in May!

How accurate are these figures on your forum? Quite interesting figures. I am very disappointed Acker 79 has not done one of those for this site. (Apologies to him if he has and I've missed it )

The figures are accurate insofar as they are provided by the home club on how many away fans attended , they are a copy and paste from another website.

I was one of the 28 that turned up for the 4-1 defeat in the League Cup in 1981/2!

Not bad for a early kick off on the last day of the season. Barnsley changed the match category thinking it would be a nice little earner with us taking the full 7,000+ allocation to celebrate being in the play offs before we fizzled out with 6 games left and eventually finished 10th.

146

 

[chucky1973]

112

 

[Mackenzie]

114 and I reckon they'll out sing the north stand.

100 will outsing the north, the other 14 will take care of the uppity west

Hope this doesn't descend into a piss taking thread.

Barnsley has never been a fashionable place or football team, and they've plenty of competition up that way from other clubs. They're bottom of the league, on a miserable run, it's a Tuesday night game a couple of hundred miles away from home, only three weeks before Christmas.

Won't catch me having a dig at them- they're a proper football club with proper fans, so fair play to the ones who come for making the effort

I hope for as many as possible. Atmosphere is needed!!
