Other items - not all Barnsley fans come from the town. There are a number of outlying towns and villages Such as Darfield and Wombwell where Barnsley have traditionally drawn support. Also the point about Burnley is that they might have a smaller catchment area and similar crowds to us but they have been playing in the Premier League for quite a bit of the last ten years and yet they didn't sell out their stadium even then, whereas we did in 2018/2019. There is much more crowd potential here than there.
