Fun fact for the travelling real dons today if you’re going by train and changing at Sheffield you will be either stopping at or passing through a station called Wombwell. Wombwell is the place of origin of the surname Womble.

I’d take that right now Spit.

1 -1 draw today. Hopefully we will score first

I thought we lost 3-0 at home to Fleetwood before that West Ham Cup win as I remember thinking we would get hammered (pun intended) given they beat us easily earlier in the season.

A lot of our fuggy fans back in the day became club volunteers or held a high profile at afc wimbledon :-)

Remember (maybe incorrectly) a 2-2 draw with Millwall at Plough Lane back in the 80s with Corky getting a deft toe on the ball to poke it over the advancing keeper. I was only young then and felt kinda ok when Millwall equalised. I’m not sure we were ever a club against whom their more troublesome fans felt they had anything to prove.

Also RE: Millwaaaalllll they were fine with us when we played them at their place. Filthy language though but football is so sanitised now

Lge One must have the highest churn rate of all divisions. Seven of the teams won't be in the league next season, only 17/24 or 70%

Think that Barnsley game was just befire we beat West Ham in the cup. IIRC we fielded a central midfield partnership of Nightingale and Oshilaja vs Barnsley.

Wow 14 out of the 24 sides in that League One table are not in League One this season.

Ah thanks Meadow

Trig, that was the great escape season. This was the table after we lost to Barnsley. [Link]

Thanks, Trig. Seems I haven't been paying attention over here. Have a good day all of you going. As has been said, it's a beautiful sunny one (as promised).

And the home match that season was in January 2019 - a 1-4 home defeat. Was that the 27 game winless relegation run?

My error it was 0-0

We last played Barnsley in 2018. Think it was pretty early in the season - maybe even first game or first away game? If memory serves me right they were newly down into the division and were expecting to go straight back up. Think they took the lead but we equalised and it finished 1-1.

Absolutely, Trig. Marvellous bloke. I tend to think of them as our intimidating big brother..

When were we last in the same division as Barnsley? I remember our both being in the Prem, and an unlikeable Yorkshireman being shot down in flames on 606 by David Mellor for complaining that we had so many black players, but that was a very long time ago indeed.

Lovely bright and very sunny day in Barnsley. Cold and frosty but dry. Snow is forecast up here tonight. Not what I want with a rear wheel drive car.

No need to avoid Millwall fans they’re a decent bunch in the main. Don’t forget that lad that undoubtedly saved many lives during the London Bridge terror attack. Single handedly took on the terrorists and got badly injured as a result.

Papers-go via Wakefield to avoid them

Happy Valentine’s Day wombles around the world. Wake up, give your loved one a nice big sloppy kiss and a card with some writing in it then hop on a train tut Barnsley, Yorkshire city of romance n’ all that shite.

Don't forget it's Sheffield Wednesday v Millwall tomorrow so trains to Sheffield could get a bit nawty

TM - absolutely agree. Ice isn’t fun to stack into when moving at speed, I needed some emergency dental care after attempting ice skating at winter wonderland a few beers in 😆. Unrelated, but currently really enjoying Landman (Paramount plus) Billy Bob Thornton at his finest, a series with soul, well worth a watch
