Sunday's FA Cup Semi-Final at Wembley broke records for Barnsley Football Club as it was the highest attendance for a match featuring the club EVER. 82,752 saw Cardiff City heart-breakingly beat The Reds 1-0. This beats the previous highest attendance for a Barnsley match, which was 77,747, for the 1910 FA Cup Final against Newcastle when ironically The Reds were beaten 1-0 again.
Meanwhile boss Simon Davey has hit out at speculation that FA Cup hero turned villain Kayode Odejayi could be forced out of Oakwell this summer. Yesterday's Daily Mirror reported that the fact Odejayi had scored just two goals in 40 appearances since his £200,000 move from Cheltenham could see Davey offload him. Odejayi said:
" I want to stay at Barnsley. I know I should have done better with my chance, but you don't become a bad player after just one game. I feel I've got a lot to offer this club and ill carry on trying to prove that."
Davey though has hit out at these reports and told
www.barnsleyfc.co.UK:"There is no truth in that at all.
"Talk of Kayode leaving came about in the week leading up to the Cardiff Semi Final but I have never had a conversation with another club and I have never had a conversation with Kayode about it.
"Kayode is a valuable member of my squad and he is the future of this club. I have never wanted to move him on".
