Championship side with 14k gates probably attracted them TBH and it looks like a group of venture capitalists so could go horribly wrong

Barnsley have been bought by the UN? Didn't think that was in their remit.

Wonder what their stance on fan share ownership and participation in the board would be.


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.

My initial thought was similar to fleabag’s although if they are venture capitalists then no doubt we’ll see them in a couple of seasons time.

I see one of the new owners is Billy Beane of Moneyball fame. It's an interesting film if you haven't seen it.

When I think  of Barnsley I always remember going to Oakwell in League Division Four in the 1978/79 season and losing 2-1 in front of a crowd of over 21,000.

We still got promoted though as Runners-Up on Goal difference...........happy days.

I don't like to mention the fans forum again but Mr Marley gave the impression that although they had looked for a buyer non was forthcoming so they had stopped but, if you have your house for sale surely you leave it on the market as in theory a buyer will always come along eventually, unless of course you have a stupid value.

We are deluded to think we are a club at the same level as Barnsley.

Whatever we like to think, we aren't a club that is going to be high on anyone's list unless they are local and already have a passion for the club.

You are very probably right but always an outside chance the kid of a Billionaire wanting a football team for a  Xmas Pressie somewhere sticks a pin into a sheet of A4 with the 72 football league clubs on and hits Grimsby.

That's one of my most vivid moments watching Town. Still remember Bobby Cumming getting to his feet and winking at us as Hunter was sent off.

Remember it well. My mate was home from serving in Northern Ireland and got attacked and bitten by a coppers Alsation and fell down the big hill at the back of the stand, landing in some barbed wire, cutting himself in many places. He spent 2 years in Northern Ireland without a scratch.

If I'm not getting my year's mixed up, I was in the standing area of the Findus for that game, fairly close to the half way line.

There was a guy in there wearing a fancy sheep skin coat (1970s fancy!) and I think he was a Barnsley fan.  He ended up getting a bit roughed up and his coat (which may have been a Xmas present) ended up a bit worse for wear!

Anyway in that part of the ground remember this?

I hope your halo stays in place. There are a lot of people who don't like what's happened to Kristine and Matt Dean and that's just recent history. Expecting the disaffected to go away is not going to happen.

It's got nothing to do with halos or expecting the disaffected to go away. It's more to do with every thread being hijacked by anti JF posts. There are a lot of things that JF has done wrong in his time at GTFC but I don't use every thread to highlight these. If, trying to maintain a fair, balanced and unbiased view of these situations means that I have some imaginary halo then so be it. Maybe I should follow the " party line " that some posters seem to want to impose but then again that isn't my nature. I've never been " one of the herd " and never will be.
