Championship - MP praises Barnsley ticket policy

Eurosport - Mon, 01 Jun 13:09:00 2009

Barnsley East and Mexborough MP Jeff Ennis has heaped lavish praise on Barnsley for extending their policy of free admission to all children aged 12 and under for next season.

FOOTBALL Oakwell home of Barnsley FC - 0

The club have also slashed 20% off all adult season-ticket prices and will cut the size of their playing squad next season in order to subsidise the reduction.

Mr Ennis told the club's official website: "In these tough times it's fantastic to see Barnsley Football Club put its fans before finance and cut the price of season tickets at Oakwell yet again.

"The decision to extend the offer of free tickets to all youngsters under 12 can only help bring more families to Oakwell.

"It's fantastic to see the club do this again. I would urge every Barnsley fan to get behind the club and the team and help forge a bright future together by booking their family's seats at Oakwell for next season."

  2. reading the article i wonder if the mp jeff ennis has­ purchased his season ticket yet??? and i agree with­ jm2209 surely a reserve team is needed to keep fringe­ players match fit etc etc.. but realistically if you go­ and watch the reserves as i have done in the past being­ a season ticket holder then i could dare say that i­ feel a little hard done by because i no longer am able­ to watch the reserves free? so i might be saving £20 or­ so on matchday season tickets but comparatively how­ much did it cost to watch the reserves? and then does­ the difference in reserve day prices multiply the no.­ of reserve games = the discount if not i dont think it­ is a good offer really :)

  7. surely cutting the squad at Barnsley is going to hinder­ their chances of staying up... its great that clubs are­ concerned about prices but not sure if this is the best­ idea
