@oakwellgrovest @BarnsleyFC My god you've seen some lower points than now then of the last 60's early to mid 70's, 83-84 was my first match i think was a loss to Carlisle, but yeah your right 🤞🤞🤞 Stendal can bring a little of the feel good factor back COYR 🔴⚪️

@Harrod15S @BarnsleyFC I've been going since 1960s pal, we've had nothing but negative comments for months, have some optimism for Stendel, we know he can motivate players

He's home. ❤️

@petebog0 @BarnsleyFC Years n years 43 to be exact of following reds has made me rather cynical but im sure the giddy lot in OR1 will be happy

@Harrod15S @BarnsleyFC Barrel of laughs you

@oakwellgrovest @BarnsleyFC I hope your right but im not getting as excited as most are, then again thats probably my age and years of supporting Reds given me a more cynical perspective rather than the giddy hype of the younger end of the fanbase

@Harrod15S @BarnsleyFC If he has a good squad for lg 1 Stendel will get us up, we lost key players for his championship seadon.

@dougokane88 Yeah great but and this is a big BUT 1 win in 11 before getting the sack by early Oct the season after not so great End of day the promorion squad was far far too good for league 1 that season it would have been harder not to get promoted so forgive me if im not jumping for joy

Stendel was fantastic in 2018/19. Club records for points + clean sheets, 2nd place, unbeaten at Oakwell, plus some of the best football I've seen Barnsley play. Rewatched superb Charlton and Bradford team goals, was struck by how pumped-up/vibrant everyone was. Missed that.

@HarleysTravels I was at Tamworth for a large part of yesterday and all 170's were 2 or 3 cars and everyone was full and most had passengers standing and that didn't change throughout the 6hrs I was there so there's no lull times which shows there's clearly the demand if they increased capacity

Every single day i see pretty much every single Turbostar running as 2 or 3 coaches. So that's a lie. I can't remember the last time XC were ever able to manage to run more then just one 4 car set.

@Tim47222 @SteelCityDog_ Mr !!!! Bloody auto typeo 🙃🤣

@Tim47222 @SteelCityDog_ Your not doing yourself any favours Mrs Sinclair 🤣🤣 yeah I'd seen the pathing luckily though i was down in Poole so it softened the blow a little
