Just for a bit of fun, see how many questions regarding Oakwell you can get right. I scored 8/10. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/barnsley-quiz-are-these-10-facts-about-oakwell-true-or-false/
8/10 also. Couldn't remember when the Wakefield Audi stand was opened and didn't know about the exec boxes
7/10 for me. Got the 1887 question wrong and the Man City playing a Euro game there (did they??). Also got the capacity of the west stand wrong
The Ci'eh question is one of the only ones I got right. There had been a concert at the Emptyhad, and there was either not enough time to get the paraphernalia cleared off the pitch, or the pitch wasn't in a fit state. It's the reason we got the friendly match with them around the same time. The game was against someone from either Iceland or the Faroes, I think.
Yes Man city played at Oakwell in 2008. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/7445562.stm
Dunno mate, you'll probably need a Man City fan for that one. I just remember we hosted the game back in 2008 and a quick google can up with the confirmation
It’s funny that I can remember scores, scorers and crowd figures for Oakwell matches right back to the early 1960s but I have no memory of this at all
