Barnsley Personalised Football Calendar
Personalised Treats For Fans Of The Tykes !
Barnsley Football Club has spent more time in the second division than any other side in England. However, nothing is predictable in football and the club has still had it’s share of ups and downs over the years to keep the Tykes on their toes! Whilst the team have gone through both relegation and promotion, it has been the remarkable FA Cup runs that have made this South Yorkshire club stand out in recent times.
We have found a terrific gift for fans of the Tykes that is both functional and fascinating! Our Barnsley Personalised Calendars can start on any month and they contain twelve marvellous match reports from some of the best games in the club’s history.
Calendar Features
The highlights of this unique A3 Calendar are undoubtedly reports detailing Barnsley’s FA Cup success, both in the club’s early days and also in more recent times. The Football Calendar goes back to 1910, when despite huge financial struggles, the Tykes reached the final that was to be played against Newcastle. We of course also focus on 2008, when the team caught the imagination of the nation with their magnificent comeback win against Premiership giants Liverpool.
In addition to cup glory, our Personalised Barnsley Calendars also include a selection of stand-out league moments. In 1997, a late Clint Mercelle goal against Bradford ensured second place in the Championship, leading to the club’s only ever promotion to the Premier League. After the club slipped back down the tables in subsequent years there was soon another promotion to celebrate, this time to the Championship, in 2006. In this instance, the Tykes also won the League One play-off against Swansea in a penalty shoot out.
With many other magnificent Barnsley FC games included - such as a 3-2 victory against Manchester United in 1998, a 3-2 triumph against Watford due to a late own goal and a 5-1 win against Blackburn during the Tykes’ push towards promotion in 2000 - the great memories just keep coming back in this captivating Calendar!
