For thousands, Barnsley Football Club provides a hobby, an escape, a passion, and most importantly, a place for them to call home. This is our club.
This documentary was created by myself (Alex Francis) for my Final Extended Project in my second year of Broadcast Journalism at Barnsley College.
Massive kudos to the club for making this
happen and to amazing my interviews for their outstanding contributions.

Part of my DNA as well. Generational. Travelled from Australia to see them play in the premier league. Coyr

I'm german, so I found out about Barnsley through Fifa actually haha. I had a great career mode with them and since then, this club had a little place in my heart. I actually wanna go to Oakwell one day, see the team play live.

Two good descriptions from Jacob and Andy “ only thing that’s a constant…” and “in your DNA”. I can identify with both statements. Jobs come and go, relationships come and go , the decades move on and support for a club is always there, no matter the weather, world events etc

Really enjoyed this! TBH I'm a Forest fan, but I have a massive soft spot for Barnsley FC as it's a 'proper' club, a real part of the local community with great fans. Without fail I always look out for Barnsleys results and I'm buzzing at the season the clubs had and will be rooting for them at Wembley at the play off final.....COYR!!

Found this by accident. What a great piece of work. I have a yearly pilgrimage to Oakwell to watch a game as I no longer live there. Sons pay for my ticket and as Leeds and Man U fans they love the homely atmosphere. COYR

One slight correction - Barnsley itself (just purely the town of Barnsley) has a population just under 100,000 (about 97,000 per the last census) - It's the wider Barnsley metropolitan borough that has the population of about 255,000.

Sadly going up into the Premier means the antithesis of everything that good ol' Barnsley is, as the Premier is purely about greed if the filthy lucre. Personally I wouldn't go to any Premier fixtures until they get relegated, and I would do that.
