Dean Brennan has new message for fans after his rant with club making generous ticket offer

Manager Dean Brennan has a new message for fans after his gone viral rant with the club now making a generous ticket offer for a home game.

The Barnet manager hit out at his own club’s moany fans, having been left unhappy at criticism from some supporters during Barnet’s 2-1 win at home to Altrincham in midweek.

Brennan gave an incredibly passionate post-match interview and demanded the supporters turn up in more numbers. Now it seems they’re coming up with ways of getting more fans through the turnstiles at future matches.

Brennan said on Thursday: “Hi, all. I’ve just had a brilliant conversation with our chairman. We’re going to create an offer for our game against Fylde here at The Hive in two weeks time.

“And the offer is going to be football for a fiver. Get yourselves down here. Let’s get The Hive buzzing. And we show a little bit of character and a little bit of togetherness. We can do it.’

Dean Brennan went on quite the rant after the 2-1 win against Altrincham on Tuesday night.

He said: We got character. We got togetherness. We’re in their camp. I don’t like the moan and groans from my supporters over here beside me, moaning get forward, screaming rubbish at me when we’re 1-0 down. We’ve just played now 6 games without a recognised centre forward. And I have to be honest with you. I think our level of performance has been outstanding. If they don’t want that, I’ll move on then. If that’s what they want. Get someone else to do the job because I’m sick and tired of it. Just a miserable moany lot. Get behind the group. Get behind the team. So I feel that way about it. I’m delighted for the boys. Delighted for the players. Delighted for our supporters that come with the Gateshead and clap us off. But I’m hearing this out here. I don’t like it. You know. Go somewhere else and be negative. It’s their money. They can do what they want, but I can say what I want on here as well and how I really feel because I don’t I don’t pull no punches. Moaning and groaning.

Interviewer: Yeah. And, obviously, just speaking on the football, for the 90 minutes, it looked like a really good battle, a really good test between 2 top teams.

Dean: Yeah. We got young lads that read the social media. I don’t read it. I’m not on it. I’ve got young lads reading social media. I’ve got stuff on social media going against my goalkeeper. Does that help? Does it? Does that help everybody? They’re all geniuses now. They wanna clap you off, don’t they? Yeah. You know what happens in life? When you’re in the tough times, you see the real characters, the real people. That’s what I’m looking for, character in this group. Character. I want fans to come with us with it. There’s a message for you. Alright? Do not edit that, by the way. I want that to go out because that’s very important because we’re very open and very honest with our supporters. But when I’m hearing on our negativity, when we’re playing well good goal by Altrincham by the way. Good goal on the counter attack. Fair play. Good goal. Good. Justin’s reply pace. And I’ve gotta listen to that moment. I’m here. Just relax. I know what I’m doing. I took this team over. Bottom of the table. Have a look where you are. Yeah? There’s a lot of other teams below us. That’s how I feel about it. I’m very, very angry and frustrated. If any fan wants to come see me, my door is open. Come in come in and see me. Have a cup of tea with me, and come and see me. And I’ll explain where we’re at and who’s injured and what’s happening. No Taveres. No Brown. No Kabamba. No Collinge. Who else is missing? Coker. Just come back. You know, get behind this young group. Look at Joe Roy tonight. Outstanding. Joe Greenwood, outstanding performance. Unbelievable. Chapman, what a player. Front character. So I want us to get behind our players, not moan at them, not seeing them or winning. I want us to be a proper football club. All I ever hear is moaning, moaning about the chairman. The beer is not good enough. That’s not good enough. Come on, man. Get behind the group. Get behind the team.

Interviewer: And you I’ve seen that in that you’re obviously…

Dean: By the way, there were only 900 fans here tonight. That’s what it was announced as well. It was 900 here. Yeah. We’re the big club, aren’t we?

Interviewer: And I’ve seen that you mentioned about about Joe Greenwood. He’s obviously had a really bright start to the season with. Three clean sheets, you know, for a team that’s obviously not the right side of the table, and yet he’s coming tonight and done a I’ve done an impeccable performance like you said.

Dean: He’s a top player. You know, we expected to lose players this year. My chairman supported me and kept him with us. You know, we got players in the last year, the contract, con college, people like that. We expected to lose them. Chairman’s torn torn down bids and kept the struts the squad strong, so I sent Joe out on loan. He listened to what I said, and he’s got some experience in the National League. He’s a good player. You know? He’s here to place people like college and that if they don’t sign new contracts, if they leave on free transfers. That’s the future of the football club. Can they not see what I’m doing? So our second half, we were out there outstanding, especially up against all the elements. And I thought our fitness levels were were top. We’re a one fit team. Even when we are losing to, like, Gateshead we kept going, kept trying. We never gave in. In every game, we haven’t given in. So we’d like our supporters not to give in, also.

Interviewer: Yeah. And and, obviously, as well, we spoke about Reece Brown before in interviews and how you’ve obviously been so impressed for of his and how what he can bring to the group. And, obviously, you’ve seen that tonight he comes on and scores last minute.

Dean: And he’s a proper player. Just gotta keep me fit. That’s the key bit. Keep him fit. We got brilliant medical centre here with TicHealth, chairman, and, we just gotta keep him fit. Once we get him and Nikki back, we’re gonna be a force. But I know this division. You can’t get too high and you can’t get too low, and I know how difficult it’s gonna be. So we move on to Braintree. Obviously, gave a good account of themselves again tonight. They were unbeaten in 4 or 5 games. Angelo’s doing a great job there. So it’s gonna be another difficult game, but it’s today is about my team, the collective of my team, and and what they’re about. And we showed character after going to Gateshead in a game where I didn’t think we should’ve lost it, it, in a game where we kept going, we kept digging deep, and we come back to let him bounce back, and that’s what good sides do. So let’s see how we get on. We’re in tomorrow. Our reserve team going tomorrow against Palace, training tomorrow, and towards the end of Friday. We make the sacrifices. We know what it takes to win football matches.

Interviewer: Yeah. And, obviously, like we said earlier about how, you know, teams have come to the hive every again this season and then felt that defeat. How important is it to keep the hive the fortress that it can be?

Dean: Yeah. It helped it helped if we brought more than 900 supporters here. You know, if we can get 2,000, that’ll help the chairman. That’ll help us get a centre forward. If people start buying more tickets and buying beers and sweets and all that. Well, apparently, that’s not good enough. All I heard is moaning. So that’d help. Yeah. Though we have to rely on Tony. Keep relying on Tony’s pocket. He’s crying prepared he’s crying kids’ money. You know, they’re inheritance. Just keep going. Come here. Spend your money. Get this place rocking. I have no problem sending players in there that are injured after 12 o’clock. Go to be with the supporters. I want to get on this. We can’t splinter away. You know, moaning about everything. Jesus Christ. Look. Give me 5.

Dean Brennan has a new message for fans after his rant with the club making a generous ticket offer, here’s how Twitter users responded…

@beespod: Unbelievable offer.

@MikeyBoy17: That is such a fantastic gesture by the Club. I just hope that we really can get a couple of thousand more people coming through the turnstiles. If not, nothing will. Let’s circulate this across social media so the club hasn’t got to spend money on advertising.

@Harry27Brown: Class response from the Chairman!! Got some eyes on us from that interview so lets make the most of it!

@bibster541: Wow might get 3,000 fans for this one

@rudebwoyben1: Fantastic!

@WillMay04_: Fair play that

@hayhive: Bang 💥 I’m there plus 3

@Aidan_Gamble: With the sound turned down, it looks like the leader of a guerilla faction has announced a successful coup. Which is only one crazy step removed from Tuesday’s post match interview.

@davenash77: Football for a foiver

@oafc24: Calm down Marc White

@BurkosBox: In other news, @kleanthous_tony has increased the parking charge to £20 for this game.

@NayV99: Nah. Ive heard you sell shit beer

@teehfc_: Fair play to the club for taking action on Deano’s recent comments 👏

@aghdidim: Loved the managers comments, stop whinging and back your local team from a Pools fan

@Massimo_Fiori: In Brennan we trust! #Character

@DeanBristow16: So it’s just the cost that’s the reason nobody goes 😂

@BrknMan: This is brilliant stuff from the club. Striking while the media is looking our way for maximum effect.

@ConnorLTFC: I’ve never seen a manager so desperate to hear some noise from his own fans 😭I like him a lot though, it’s nice to see a manager with some passion

@barnet2510: Not a fan of this attempted Marc-Whiteification of Brennan tbh

@CarpBar71: Superb gesture. COYBS

@DeanBristow16: So it’s just the cost of tickets that’s keeping the thousands away ? 🤔

@whugamer23: No thanks, Dagenham are selling tickets for a quid Saturday, would rather go there x

@da33a7: Love you Deano! Our Gaffer! #character #togetherness

@AlDinAtlantic: You can come in for a fiver but you’ll be kicked out if you complain

@richyhpool: Might get 1000 in now😉
