FANS of Barnsley Football Club have been rated as the eighth unhappiest in League One.
According to the Happy Fan Index 2025, the Reds’ fanbase is a happier one than neighbouring Huddersfield Town but way down on high-flyers Wrexham.
Engagement rates on Barnsley’s official social media channels – Instagram and X – stand at 0.62 per cent and 0.02 per cent respectively.
Analyst Dan Tracey, who compiled the index which looks at all 92 clubs in the English Football League, said: “Football’s unpredictability is one reason why it is so exciting and the biggest sport in the world.
“The up-and-down nature of football can result in failure leading to success very quickly though, and vice versa, and fan perceptions can change all the time.”
