I think Barnsley council spending £12 million on a new bridge had something to do with that. Don't have to walk past the station to get into town now so fans can be on opposite sides of the road while shouting obscenities at each other. Need less police for that I suppose... I was walking next to a few young tykes who were going over the bridge to be able to shout at Derby fans from the safety of platform 2, bless em

Well, he was nearly the ref from last year then. 😬🤦‍♂️

tis true, Tarn is much better than Sheff

He was the ref in the same fixture last season... The Devante Cole "goal" when he gave the goal, then went to the lino for a chat, then after the lino then flagged for offside gave it offside. Then after talking to Devante Cole decided to change his mind again and give the goal... Bizarre 2 minutes. I don't think he's biased towards Barnsley, I think he's just poo. Also I'm gutted I couldn't get a ticket in the away end, but I'll be secretly cheering us on from the West stand just behind the dugout. COYR

So Ipswich, Wednesday, Plymouth et al last season could spent money and improve their teams with a lot more freedom than we can currently. Ipswich (and Sunderland previously) had a fair few seasons down in league one before they clicked and went up, this our second season starting from scratch so I think it's optimistic to expect to be in a much better position than we are in now. I think if we had no restrictions financially for a season or two, we'd be in a much stronger position and would fair much better if/when we went back up to the Champ. If we go up this year we'd have to spend a lot more to compete and would potentially struggle... Personally I'd be happy to consolidate financially and build over a few seasons before achieving successive promotions and challenging for European football after VAR has been scrapped for sucking the life and enjoyment out of football.
