125 years celebration against Blacky this weekend

All fun and games at Oakwell this weekend against Blackpool, Face painting, things for the kids to do, fireworks fancy dress comp and prices for the match itself slashed. £12.50 for an adult and much cheaper for kids an OAP's!

Full day of fun so get yourselfs down!!

Even the face painting won't make the dingles any better looking. Dear oh dear they will try anything to change their dingle tags lol

I thought they wore fancy dress all the time............why the need for a specific day ?

Fireworks? It'll be fucking daylight

daylight makes no difference we're talking about a club who's had to get a bank loan for a fucking score board, it'll be a box of bangers and a pack of party poppers at best a air bomb repeater

If only they would have left me in charge of the fireworks............

Will there be a finger counting competition?

that is not fair dingles win hands down

where going to count how many years we've spent in a higher league the Donkey Rovers in the last 125, that will keep busy even we've not got enough fingers to help us with that, doubt our many toes will help ether,

If your kids are older than 11 it's worth it eh?

bates out

according to that the juvenile age (£5) is 5-11 year old which is the age range stated in the family ticket

and even if it was meant to be the under 18 @ £9 its a fantastic saving of 50p

Go on snap those tickets up Daggers, it's got to be worthwhile to see them get their arses kicked on their anniversary.

I reckon that might just be a mystic meg moment

Entertaining match that was! Two teams trying to play football the right way and was really enjoyable..1 - 1 probably the right scoreline.

The 125 celebrations were also good as was the atmosphere from both sets of supporters (14,134 attendance - 2,500 from Blackpool).

The sun was shining, the atmosphere was good, we were playing attacking football and we held one of the best teams in the league to a 1 all draw keeping our unbeaten home form in tact.

All in all a good day for BFC!

Now, we just need to sort our away form out........

away form as well, you don't want much do you

crikey you'll have dreams of the premiership soon

Seems like a great day out for all...........congratulations on your anniversary and btw a good result.

Yep it was a great match played in a good atmosphere. Unbeaten at home makes a change from the last few seasons lol!! Hope we can start to pick up a few away points and we should be safe and sound this season.

But like they say........... It's a marathon, not a sprint!!

''Game by game'' NR , I know it's an old cliche but that's the only way to look at Championship footy where anyone can beat anyone on any given date.

we'll be safe wile ever we can hold on to Benny Hill, as soon as he goes we'll struggle.

When he goes pal I'll take over.... They will get a shock then!!
