BARNSLEY Football Club have reported impressive figures for season tickets during the first week of sales. Staff at Oakwell have been kept busy during the last 10 days as supporters booked their seats ahead of the 2006-2007 Championship campaign. First week sales were five times higher than at the same period last season and chairman Gordon Shepherd revealed that 30 per cent of those fans who have already splashed the cash are new season ticket holders.
