It is interesting reading peoples different feelings of places.
I have found Barnsley a strange place in the past. The first visit I remember well was in 1985 when we got them away in the FACup. It was at the time of the Miners strikes and Brighton fans taunted Barnsley through out the game about it.
At the final whistle (we lost 2-1) we were ambushed as we came out the away end and the coach I was on had two windows put through. I think all 3 coaches that day got at least one window removed!
Since then I have had no problem. We in fact found a pub called The Travellers that we started using for all our away minibus trips in Yorkshire. They used to give us free food when we arrived and this carried on from about 1988 to 1992.
Sadly the pub ran a bad article about Liverpool fans using the pub before the Hillsborough disaster and was all part of the Sun newspapers disgraceful blaming of drunken Liverpool fans for the problem that day.
It basically said the pub was full of drunken fans all day who damaged the pub before leaving. We have never been back since, which was a shame as the Fatty Taxman had the hots for the landlords daughter!!!!!
We get to Barnsley about midday so will head for the pubs near the station and see how it goes.
