Woooooohoooooo Safety for Barnsley F.C.

[BRF]

Went to the wire didn't it? lol

Well, I've shared it with you chaps week after week to the death. I was genuinely happy to see you guys get yourselves out of the cack before the final day - you know that from my posts - but today was a massive relief. Norwich did themselves no favours by getting spanked on the final day against the worst side in the division, but I'm glad that we did the business for ourselves and didn't depend on them in the end.

Being the football fan that I am I genuinely expected Norwich to win, and if we were to survive it was either going to be a late goal from us to earn (scrape) a draw OR we'd concede a late goal to lose and get relegated. It was still too close for my liking - this final day of the season malarky is not good (NOT good) for the nerves.

Here's hoping for better (for both of us) next year. Wouldn't it be lovely for us to build on where we are and earn midtable security next season?

Thanks for the hospitality over the previous weeks - have a good closed season. Respect to the forest - see you at Oakwell next year. :cheers: :hi:

Congratulations mate, I was expecting Norwich to do the unexpected today but seems their players bottled it. Have a good summer and hope you stick around :cheers:

 

[WatnallRed]

Congrats matey!
Eieieioooo!

 

[winnits]

Pleased for you mate, my personal preference was Norwich simply as I know a lot of Canary fans, but since they didn't do their bit to survive they certainly didn't deserve to stay up!

 

[uppertrentendred]

Cheers mate and congratulations.

I wanted Norwich to go down ahead of you. One reason - Sideways Sammy ;D.

Enjoy your summer bud, am sure the beer tastes a whole lot sweeter now

 

[Nick.]

Congrats.
I thought you would survive, cya Norwich! ;D

 

[BRF]

...am sure the beer tastes a whole lot sweeter now

Yer not wrong!

Football Banter. :

Congratulations, looks like I will have to go to break another oakwell seat next year.

 

[ross_pep]

Well done mate, very pleased you stayed up above Norwich. Have a good night tonight mate!

I'd let this thread roll purely because he's been such a nice fella through the previous weeks.

Congratulations on survival, enjoy the remainder of the weekend!

 

[nunuschmu]

Well done mate, to win your match too was a bonus.
We've been rather spoilt on here with intelligent and friendly opposition teams, so whilst I congratulate you, hard luck to the norwich supporting guy..
see you next season ;D

 

[ForestNo10]

Well done barnsley on staying up. 6points off you next season tho. ;D

 

[Cooky]

Yeah congrats mate!!

One of my best mates is a Barnsley fan so I obviously wanted you boys to stay up!

Enjoy your close season and have a few bank holiday beers tonight :cheers:

 

[Eddie]

Congratulations BRF,, i hope your enjoying the moment.

Always good to have some fans of other clubs on this forum too so please stick around.

 

[losttheplot]

Pleased Barnsley stayed up... only because its a hell of a lot easier to get to than Norwich! I hate the A17/A47!!

 

[RRRREDUN]

I'm glad for you BRF - part of this is that I enjoy the trip to Barnsley - good pub on the way. But ......... I wish your cretins would stop the Scab, Scab, Scab nonsense. It irritates. I personally don't have any ties to Miners. If we've got to fight, let's do it over the football.

 

[fowldsforest]

well done, can't wait to play you next season

 

[Eastwood Red]

Congratulations mate Glad to see your team stayed up.

Stick around over the summer and have a good one! :cheers:

 

[Erik]

Good to see you stayed up. Stick around for next season.

 

[T.B.T.]

It's really funny how some kind words from a friendly BFC fan can sway your preferences.

Congratulations and well done. ;D

 

[RedDogChris]

Well done,stick around for some banter next season.

 

[nigelnffc]

pleased for you mate i always wanted norwich to go down over you tbh ;D

 

[Rich]

It's really funny how some kind words from a friendly BFC fan can sway your preferences.

Congratulations and well done. ;D

Similar with Leeds.

I don't think any of the '(ir)regular posters' on here maintained the hatred against Leeds after Steve stuck around. He certainly softened the mood against them!

Who knows, maybe BRF might come on the next Forest jolly up!

 

[Loughborough_red]

I wanted to see barnsley stay up mainly for the banter and it's also only short trip up the road with a big allocation.

Thoroughly enjoyed my day out there a few weeks back.
