Even though I'm a Barnsley lad through and through Belle Vue is literally only 15 minutes from where I was brought up and moved back to 12 months ago and when I went through those turnstiles 42 years ago for the first time Trinity instantly became my team .
I've sort of gone on and off since but with Matt Ellis taking over its really rejuvenated me , nowt guaranteed of course but I'm not missing this ride after all the lean years we've experienced .
I suppose I'm the sort of fan Matt wanted to attract back regularly and I've seen all the home games so far , fantastic to see Belle Vue so packed out on Friday night , I even took the wife to her first RL match and she loved it .
Off to Fev on Good Friday too , along with the wife !!! .
The only thing is , if we make to Wembley for the 1895 Cup Final we are on a cruise !!
So I still won't have seen us at Wembley .
Never mind , I reckon a Challenge Cup final won't be too far down the road , if I've waited this long another couple of years won't hurt .
Sorry mate but if it's a choice between watching Trin at Wembley or cruising the river Dearne through Barnsley, then you really need to have a word with your missus

Oi FIL!!!
Nowt wrong with the Dearne sunshine.....
I have just watched the pregame show and suddenly for the first time in many years I felt proud to support WT. I went to most home games but mainly out of the fact that’s what you do but the last few years have been pure purgatory. I heard we set up our own Samaritans line due to the increase in the prescriptions for Diazepam.
We now with the new owner have a chance to be the club we deserve.

The 2008 Challenge Cup semi final was the real gut wrencher , if we'd turned up in the first 30 minutes I reckon we'd have made it that year , alas it wasn't to be .
