You mean they are arms length owners that allow the club to run itself and live within its means? Take away the history (hard I know), but isn't that the model that all clubs should follow? What do you want them to do, throw money at a new Operation Premiership? That would be madness...

At some point people are just going to have to get their head around the fact that some people are like this and they now have a public platform. In the real world, the team were given a great ovation as they left the pitch and even on social media the vast majority of the comments I read were...

Delayed us by half an hour. I'm guessing loads are stuck because is nobody else here!

Serious structural issues in one of the stands I was told.

Game was very nearly called off. Police didn't want it to go ahead. Serious safety concerns apparently. This is some sort of compromise. I'm sure people will call bullshit, but this came from somebody senior at Barnsley. They hadn't even told CCFC the game was in doubt.

Just got tickets. You consider not going to games like this, but then what else is there to do on a Wednesday night in Ash Green? Couple of beers before the game, watch the city and laugh at some giddy teenagers from Northampton giving it large on their big night out. Lovely stuff.

He is right though. Easily walkable from the town centre. Loads of pubs. Went into town for the cup tie a few years and had a great day. Can't remember the names of the pubs, I was pissed, but Barnsley is one of the better away days in this league if you're going by train and fancy a few...

Dhillons by the ground was a big success too, some teething issues and I know the queues were crazy, but apparently they're going to open 2 extra bars for the next game. Good to have these options now.

Awful to hear this. The thought of his children looking on too, that's just horrible, and I so hope that he has pulled through as suggested. I remember being very close to the supporter who died at the Sheffield United cup tie (we only learned he died after the game), but I remember not being...

If you believe the attendance, there were 17,200 city fans in the ground (just saying). An why wouldn't you believe it? I'd have struggled to find more than 12,500 empty seats, but I guess a few ST holders were away. Also, the second highest Championship attendance of the weekend, for a...

Atmosphere was outstanding second half. Some mad scenes at the end. Bodies everywhere. People were even leaping over the netting from the main stand.

There was so much talk about how many people were going there, to only open 1 bar was a bit naive. They'll sort it for next game. Not complaining really, just feel for them a bit.

Ah man, Dhillons totally misjudged this. Insane queues. At least I can't get wankered now.

Near ground

Dhillons on Rowley's Green industrial estate

Put a few more staff on now but will be mad at 3pm. Great venue mind.

Big queues already. This is the equivalent of 11.45 for a Sat game 😂. Think they totally underestimated how busy they were going to be.

Done a good job at Dhillons. Fair few here already, but you could probably get 700-800 in here

Just thinking that. It might be 20K+ officially, but everyone is either on holiday or has a sick note!

Hope Dhillons have enough staff on, everyone seems to be heading there!
