Sat 31st Jan 2015, Barnsley v Port Vale, pre-match, the match itself.

Making it all ticket is bull**** of the highest order. What is wrong with these people?

[cheshirevaliant]

Won't this just mean there will be Vale fans in the home end? I'm sure South Yorkshire police are delighted with that, given the trouble at VP.

[Smugsy]

They normally give away fans 2000 seats unless a big following is expected when the capacity is up to 6000. We're not going to take 2000. If we took 1100 to Chesterfield, we probably won't take 1000. I don't think Barnsley are stupid enough to turn paying customers away. South Yorkshire police will have had a big say in this ludicrous decision.

[cheshirevaliant]

Or, if you are going to make it all ticket, do so before our 2 Saturday home games in the past couple of weeks.

Nope. It's been made all ticket for home fans too.

They deliver tickets free postage, but you might not want to do that at this stage. My tickets came within a couple of days.

I'm going Stafford change at Stockport to Sheffield, then change for Barnsley. I then decided to meet up with a Barnsley mate in Penistone. Getting separate tickets for the Stafford to Stockport and then Stockport to Barnsley, worked out cheaper at a total of £36.40 . Got an extra single to Penistone from Barnsley at £3.20.

Ah well. If we were only 2 points off relegation, I'd be wanting to maximise revenue to get new players in and make sure we didn't go down. I suppose the phrase "You can tell a Yorkshireman, but you can't tell him anything" springs to mind.

More chance of hell freezing over than us keeping a clean sheet at the moment. Robertson, Duffy and Dickenson are all poor, and at least two of the three will start.

 

3-0 to Barnsley.

Assume its to do with the trouble at VP earlier in the season against them but strange decision based on how many will go.

[beasty77]

Can we claim our first away clean sheet of the season against the 2nd best home attack in the division?? Vale are the only team in the division not to keep a clean sheet away from home..1-0 Vale then..

[Tosh]

I'm hearing Campion has got another two goals this afternoon at Tranmere, is it about time he's given a go?

Can't see Vale winning if Page chooses to field the same team again. The leaky defence and goal shy strikers spells defeat at Barnsley. Changes must be made. Pope with Campion??? Might result in the Vale scoring a couple.
