Barnsley may be 199 miles from the CCS as the crow flies - but never as a fan drives, unless it is taking a weird cross country route through the Midlands - in which case the journey times are way too low.
I live in south west Sheffield and my route on match day via Chesterfield, M1, M42, M50, M4 to Hadfield Road is 201 miles. Add another 20 miles at least if coming down the M1 from Barnsley.

All distances & times are a load of bollocks in those posts above, not one pub stop accounted for……..call yourself away fans!!!!!!!:hehe:

For me, I don't mind playing the former Premiership and Championship sides, so your Bolton's, Peterbrough's, even Rotherham's don't bother me too much.
But it's the nosebleed teams like Mansfield and Port Vale that really get to me. Not saying either them or us don't deserve to be in League One, but it just feels embarrassing. It's like if Hibs started playing Forfar Athletic in the Scottish League.
If we can't get top 6 with that load of shit I'm Fred Astaire.Quote:

It shouldn't be though. Just because it used to be that way doesn't mean it's a time I'm particularly fond of reliving.Quote:

We aren't a billy big bollocks sort of club and deserve to be where we are.
It's going to be a scrap and a grind to get back out of there. If our squad show up thinking anything less (which I suspect they are) then we are set to become one of the L1 faces.
Not saying we don't deserve to be where we are from a footballing sense, that would be to deny reality. I just expect much better from us given our area of fan capture.Quote:

Well I’ve seen us lose against both and neither time we would have been deemed favourites. It’s something the under 30s know nothing about.Quote:

We're second favourites to win the league next season (behind Luton) according to the early odds. That's without knowing who our manager is, what players are going or staying or who we sign over the summer of course!
