Barnsley v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Richard E]

PS4 predicts a 1-0 defeat, with Ashley Westwood getting a straight red in the first half for an absolute horror tackle.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

You should find a pub with open mike comedy nights with material like that.

You may mock, but FIFA Whateveryearitwasthen predicted we would lose to Bradford over 2 legs.*




*Perhaps I am just not much cop on FIFA.

Just called Barnsley ticket office direct

Villa fans can buy on the night @ £32.50 cash only

The stand holds 6000 and we have sold 3500 so far so a good few left 

Who the hell was saying we'd sold 5.5k for this game a few weeks ago on the tickets and travel site?!

[eamonn]

It must have been taken as gospel as in his weekly article Dave mentions nearly 10k tickets having been sold for this and the Preston game.

[Nelson Lodge]

Newcastle had not drawn a league before last Saturday.

Barnsley have yet to draw a league game this season.

Preston have yet to draw a league game this season.

Villa have drawn 6; far more than any other club in the division.

[mr underhill]

So we might draw then?

[Nelson Lodge]

Possibly!

[levico]

Has to be a draw. Isn't it?

We've sold out at Preston and every other away this season. Looks like Barnsley is going to end the run - only 4k for a Tuesday night in Yorkshire? the phoning dead will be all over this on WM. "Franksy the Blues took 45 thousand to Oakwell last season"

[PeterWithesShin]

But most of them couldn't find it which is why there were so few in Oakwell for the game.

That was a photshop thing on Twitter I believe. Somebody had basically copied the sold out from the travel and shopped it into the icon above.

I was told when I got a couple of extras about 2 or 3 weeks ago that there were 500 left! Must have meant of the first batch

[PeterWithesShin]

3K+ is still an amazing effort on a Tuesday night for a side that haven't won away for over a year and have only won 4 leagues games out of the last 49 going back to May 2015.

Aye. Me and our kid will be there to see us win, so I'm not arsed.

Last time we played at Barnsley was in a kit similar to what we'll wear tomorrow, wasn't it (light blue and white with claret streak) ?

Barnsley have yet to draw a league game this season.

Far more than any club in the World!!
