It was 1874 and Zebediah Ivanhoe Scrimshaw was reeling after being laid off from Bickerthwaites Clog Factory after 10 years service.
'Unemployed. On t'scrag 'eap at the age o' 17' he sighed to Hector his faithful whippet as he trudged wearily down roads that would later be copyrighted by Hovis.* Even putting another ferret down his trousers couldn't lift his gloom. It helped but only briefly. It were no good. He'd heard that a young man of action could make his fortune down int' that there London - mebbe there'd be a place for a lad such as him, a hearty cherub of a lad with only a hint of tuberculosis, a squint and an orthapaedic clog. He packed his bag, said goodbye to his 19 siblings and got onto the first train South...
Today, visitors from Barnsley are equally as dazzled by the sights, sounds and smells of that there London. The running water. The electricity. The complete lack of incesant brass band music. It all adds up to a heady assault on the senses. And yet, the hopes and dreams of Zebediah Ivanhoe Scrimshaw are still very much evident in the coal-streaked faces of the Barnsley team that come looking for fame, glory or a chip and gravy barm cake. As manager Valerian Ismael says 'It'd be easer for a Grimethorpe pigeon fancier t' gerrint Belper whippet racin' club'house than t' gerra win theer'.
2-0 Rangers.
* Even though they were actually in Shaftesbury. |  |

I think we have been aimless punts up top |
I think that's partly down to the speed with which they close down. We are having to rush things |  |

We have played right in to their hands tonight , how anyone is “enjoying “ this is beyond me |
I normally get the major hump when we’re being beaten but the simplicity of Barnsley is beyond brilliant. |  | | |

Unbelievable, 3-1 down, in their penalty area, and we go all the way back to our own goalkeeper. |  |

They are a bunch of very fit hoof all merchants. A lot of mid-Championship clubs will look at Barnsley and think there is a way to compete. |  | | |

Any chance we could nab Barnsley’s scouts in the summer |  |

That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Couldn't watch it every week but it's refreshingly different in a weird way. If nothing else it does make me a little more grateful for the way we've been playing the last couple of years. |
Like it or not it's clearly effective at this level, during this bizarre time. It could even get them promoted. Where they'd be annihilated almost every match, but come back down with shed-loads of cash. | | | |

Good spell and we're playing our own game at the moment, get an early goal back and could get a point here. We're playing better and they've eased off |  | | |

We really do struggle against teams that press us and are much fitter and quicker to the ball than we are. |  | | |
