Can anyone recommend a decent pun and any car parking details ? First time going to Oakwell so any details would be appreciated.

I know the thread titles are getting a little out of hand, but I would have thought a decent pub would be a higher priority.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

I've been told the Outpost on Sheffield Road is the best drinking hole to aim for. (I know nowt about car parking details).

[Enoch]

Tim Vine would be my suggestion.

[scotty]

On another point, any ideas how many tickets have been sold ? The away end holds 7,500 its only about 1 1/2 hours away so on Boxing day, I'm expecting a reasonable sized following, I've got my ticket

Sold about 1,250 apparently but they are available on the day too. Last year we took just over 2,000 and it was a cracking atmosphere.

A lot of people went to Wigan and can't afford 2 away games in 10 days unfortunately.

Thanks, We'll give it a go

We don't tend to do well over the christmas period, so I am predicting 2-1 to Barnsley.

[Lord Kangana]

We don't tend to do well outside the Christmas period lately, either. Just saying.

Shusht. Dougie's planned a surprise present for all the fans. We're going to have em for Christmas afters. Fact.

I think it's so we won't notice on Saturday the loanees have gone home and wonder why
Zat's playing right back, Beckford's back in favour and everybody will think Mark Davies is a new signing.

[Harry Genshaw]

We dont tend to do well against Danny Wilson sides either do we?

0-2 defeat

[TANGODANCER]

Silent Knight....a short Christmas tale.

Well, with all Dougie's wheeling and dealing we've had more strikers than the N.U.M, tried more tactics than a chess grand master and here we are on the edge of a new year at the Reebok, safely entrenched in the bottom half of the table. The shepherds have more sense than be anywhere near Winter Hill at this time of year and the three wise men arrived early, left their gifts of cold, freaking-sense, and having a mare and will head off back whence they came after calling at the Oakwell stables tomorrow on the feast of Stephen. Our saviour says he has no plans to prevent their departure and, contrary to the Christmas story the crowds aren't thronging and there's actually plenty room at the Inn.

The rude wind's wild lament will no doubt blow tomorrow, because the moon's shining bright and the frost cruel tonight. Holly and Ivy are the Barnsley tea ladies who only last month served Steve Ashley at Barnsley folk club, a man who once was a member of St Agnes Fountain (besides which yonder peasant lived). So the Barnsley fixture has all the makings of a Christmas legend with just a couple of minor exceptions. We've had the flesh and the wine, but pine logs are so 1950. Pontious the pilot can't make a flight from Egypt due to so many cancelled landings here, and the Christmas star is actually to the west a bit rather than the east (at least in Farnworth). The tale could have been somewhat different had we been at home because Winter Hill is just made for a stable setting, but then again, we wouldn't have been Away in a danger....

The usual tales of opponents who may not be fit to play due to injury smacks of Fergyism but two of them are out due to sending offs etc. We have opponents who everybody beats so....we can but say COME ON YOU WHITES....and hope for the best..

[tankcopters n aids]

We'll beat them 2-0.

[Gary the Enfield]

Going to this one..

We'll win.

I hope.

[LeverEnd]

Very entertaining preview Tango. More puns than you can shake a stick at. A1's head will be spinning, hope the poor lad's got something to hand to chill him out.
Not making any predictions, but the fact that I turned down a free ticket suggests they will win in my absence. I've a feeling we'll continue with the one step forward, 2steps back routine for the remainder of the season, never threatening the playoffs, but never bad enough to force a change of manager.

[CrazyHorse]

The manager's shite, we play like shite and basically we're a load of shite.

That said I think we'll win and it'll be a Christmas miracle. 2-1. Come on!!

I think after yesterday's festivities, you might need to check the fridge stock level and the whereabouts of the cat.

1-2. Would be happily wrong.

[Wandering Willy]

Unusually I disagree with Worthy.

We'll not score.

We're missing Kevin.
