IT was interesting to see such a small crowd turn up for the league game against Colchester at Oakwell, the second lowest attendance for a Championship game at Barnsley this season I think. People had been urged to go, in order to have a chance of obtaining a ticket for the Liverpool game. What an outrageous policy! Doncaster Rovers tried something similar for their up and coming home game against Leeds Utd, and that backfired spectacularly. As I write there are around 2,000 tickets left. It was a marvellous gesture to put on free buses to the Southend game but this is a just a case of take take take. A month ago I dropped the club an e-mail complimenting them on the way the first team provided my son with autographs at the end of a recent training session. I never received acknowledgement of this so don't know if my appreciation was passed on. Maybe I have looked at Barnsley through rose-tinted glasses for too long, well my 'specs' are off now. I now see BFC as just another club with an appalling administration system who treats it's fans very poorly. MARK HANSON, Wath & West Melton Red: LESS than two weeks ago I traveled all the way to QPR to watch the Reds get beat, as well as giving one of their worst performances of the season. Due to work commitments I was unable to attend the midweek game against Colchester, so it now looks like I will miss out on a ticket against Liverpool. I can produce at least six tickets from home matches this season but I don't have the holy grail that is 'a Colchester ticket'. In my opinion the club were just trying to boost the ground for this game by saying that if you attended you would have an outside chance of obtaining a ticket or Liverpool. It is about time the club looked at the bigger picture that is a full season rather than just one game. Surely they should have offered priority to people with a minimum of five tickets for matches this season? The club keeps asking the fans to be loyal, but are they being loyal to us?
