Considering that they were bottom of the table in December after 20 games, it'll be a great achievement if they do hold onto their lead.

For Championship? I think they'll be lucky to achieve mid-table.

Are Barnsley the first team since us to win the league trophy and playoff final in the same season?

Yep. Actually announced it although they didn't name us.

Just shows what momentum can do, 13 wins in 21 games since December, creep into 6th place but be the form team in the play offs. Still don't think they will tear up any trees in the championship though.

I always remember going to Oakwell when Town got promoted in 1979. A magnificent crowd of over 21,000 attended in the old League Division Four fixture.

I think it was the largest crowd at Oakwell for ten years.



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

That was a night that was. Some Barnsley fans somehow managed to throw a small anvil through the windscreen of the bus we were on whilst the game was taking place. There was no chance of a replacement being dispatched and the police just told us to get on any other bus that had spaces. I ended up on the Wheatsheaf bus which in a show of infinte wisdom decided to stop at Darfield between Donny and Barnsley for a drink before closing...word got round and there was a crowd of locals round the bus as we tried to get back on to go home.

If Barnsley had held on to their 2-0 lead on Easter Monday 1982 then I'd probably not be a Town fan now. I've a bone to pick with them

Fair play to t'Tykes. Best team on the day. Best fans too.

There was a section near the corner where the Millwall fans left even earlier than Forest green fans did. At least the Veggies waited til the game was over.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

That 79 game we got chased out the ground to the railway station never seen so many GTFC fans crammed on one train most without tickets the station master just gave up lol.
I think the last time I see them at BP we hammered them 6-1 clearly remember the old score board photo in the news.  
Ilkley moor bar tat got a hiding that day lol.

Remember seeing Mick Macarthy as a youngster, can't remember the year, but he was class and you could see he was destined to go play at a higher level.

Was that the one where Bobby Cummings broke Alan Clarke's leg or the one where Norman "bites you legs" Hunter got sent off after an altercation with our Sir Bobby?

As I remember things there was no love lost between Drinks and McCarthy....some proper tussles between our old fashioned centre forward and their centre half
