    First city game

    Until a week or two ago, I thought my first game was 1952/3 or 1953/4 when I was six or seven years old. But there was a gallery of city shirts over the years in recent thread that said we stopped wearing blue and white stripes in 1953/4 and went over to white with a single wide blue stripe...

    Sheff United request

    I can see that might work even though I don't have a cov address and haven't had one for 63 years. Even Highfield Road didn't look old then! Thanks for the advice.

    We are making progress

    Not unless we change managers 10 times! We have improved every season MR has been in charge in his second spell. By the end of this season Barnsley will have been relegated twice in that same period. Since MR arrived on 7th March 2017, when Paul Heckinbottom was their manager , Barnsley...
