Will the Barnsley Game go ahead?

[Shammo]

The players are there already

The pitch might be ok, but how will the players get from Sussex to Barnsley? It could/should be cancelled.

They got there yesterday; Spanish Dave tweeted a pic of his hotel room.

Ah, silly me

Still, we can get some Palace fans taking the piss of the number of our away fans instead.

stayed up there from the Bolton Game I would have assumed

I remember in Barnsley at the end of last season i was sat in a local cafeteria in the more mini-paved area of the town when a young couple had to ask what this strange thing called a ciabatta was. Oooooh, came the reply, it's a brand new type of bread fresh in from abroad. A sneer came back from the young couple and a more standard greasy butty was ordered as this stack of unnibbled ciabattas sat dormant and unloved under their plastic wrapping.

Nope came back, and went back up yesterday.

Yes, yes, yes, they're already up there, I'm an idiot. Can we move on now?

Please tell me you made that up?

Nope. That's Barnsley. My mum and dad were from there and i can see why they got the hell out as soon as they reached adulthood.

I now the area you mean and the story doesn't surprise me. Barnsley is one of the strangest places i've visited. The people seemed to be from some kind of timewarp.

When I lived up in the area, was noticeable that you would see really large groups of people.. 20-30 moving from one boozer to another, still all carrying their drinks..

My grandma, a strict Barnsley-ite, passed away about a decade ago. We went to the funeral, us dark sheep southerners of the family, the few that escaped, and in respect to my grandmother we all went to an Asda foodhall atferwards to dine. It was her favourite place, we were told, but i got the idea that in fact it was the only place in the area with wheelchair access, so it was not her favourite for the plate of dry chips i was served, alas, but for the simple fact there was nowhere else for her to go when her carer allowed it.
Also, we went to a pub there very shortly after, at about 12.30. There was only one person in the pub leaning at the bar on what looked like their third frothy pint of the morning. It was Seth from Emmerdale, the whiskers on his face awash with head.

A strange place.

Would think the biggest problem is getting the team back to Brighton tonight although the motorways seem ok at the moment.

Ah that's what the issue was! I then didn't have connection so struggled, badly, to correct it.
