Greetings from an exiled Barnsley fan (lived in Leeds now for 20 of my 39 years).
Good luck with this new site, looks great.
I've supported Barnsley along with my dad and brothers/mates since the early 1970's. I was so small I can remember having to be lifted into the back of a dirty old van with 20+ people cramped onto bench-style-seating to drive miles to see the reds in far off places.
I get to around 6-7 games a season these days and am really looking forwrd to seeing the reds at Elland Road again.
I met another exiled Barnsley fan in my local pub whilst watching the Huddersfield v Barnsley match and we both gave up trying to hide our allegences in the pub after half time!
Sometimes wonder if there are many more Barnsley fans living in Leeds 'cos it would be cool to have a supporters club of somesort here.
Regards,
Leedstyke
