Barnsley vs Brighton Preview

Last updated : 21 August 2003 By Bob Gear
We won that game 2-1 with Bryan Wade & Mark Barham scoring in front of a crowd of 6,066.

The previous season we had just missed out on promotion to the Old Division One, losing in the play-off final at Wembley to Notts. County. We ended the Season with relegation to the Third !!

Our best win at Barnsley was on Valentines day 1959, winning 2-0. This was the first Season of playing Barnsley in the league. The previous year we had won the final Championship of Division 3 (South) (we're still the champions of that Division !!), and were promoted to Division 2 for the first time ever.

Our first game in that division was at Ayresome Park where we played Middlesbrough. We lost 9-0, with Brian Clough scoring 5 !!

Anyway, back to this Season. Barnsley have started fairly well, winning 1-0 at home to Col U on the opening day, and drawing 2-2 at Bournemouth last weekend.

I'm convinced that we will secure a result. Though I'll hedge my bets and go for a 1-1 draw.
