📲What’s happened here then…
📻Delighted to announce I’ve been elected the Station Manager at
@ForgeRadio
for the 2024/25 term.
🙌🏻I’m very excited to take on this role and build on the great work that
@samblade103
has achieved this year!
An honour to be awarded ‘Outstanding Achievement award’ 2023/24 at the
@SheffieldSU
Activities Awards!
Not only that but
@ForgeRadio
won all four awards that it was nominated for!
A great evening and big well done to
@samblade103
for this award too 🙌🏻
Despite the result, I’m proud of the team today, and for the whole season.
To be the dominant team with 10 men for 40 mins, in a play-off final, is impressive 🙌🏻
Caused them issues right until the end.
Fantastic performance, fantastic season.
You Reds!

Great time helping out
@crossedwires_
over the weekend.
There was an exciting variety of events, with people from all ages attending.
The event brought a massive buzz around Bethel Chapel, and it’s exciting to hear its future plans 👀
A great event for the city!
My Nannan runs a bingo club every Tuesday n they didn’t have a caller this week, so she asked me.
All went pretty well to say it was my first time calling.
But…..
‘57, Stairway to heaven’ didn’t go down well to the group of 40 pensioners 😬
Just got home from the game, great result in front of a rocking Oakwell! Norwood,Cole, Kane all superb. At them 1st half with the press then controlled performance in 2nd half. Nice for Thomas to score at the end too. 👏🏻You Redsss!🏟️🔴🧣

@JamieMusical
Barnsley have confirmed the signing of striker Andy Dallas.
Dallas scored 21 goals in 51 games for National League sides Solihull Moors and Chesterfield last season.
Has signed on a 3-year deal as a free transfer.
#barnsleyfc
Confirmation that Neill Collins’ assistant Jon Stead is still at the club.
Fascinating to see what the club does for the last game- or more if we reach playoffs.
Devaney x Stead?
Interim manager?
New permanent boss? (10th in 6yrs)
Interesting few days…
#BarnsleyFC
📍Hillsborough Stadium
