    I've plans to come down for the Watford game on the 21st.
    I usually stay at the Travelodge at the end of Doncaster road but was wondering if anyone could recommend a B&B nearer the centre of town. I expect to pay £30-£35 so anything in that region would be perfect.

    Thanks in advance.

    Think it is a premier inn but same sort of price range. Glass house pub/restaurant connected to it is OK as well.

    Thanks very much guys got all booked up in the premier inn.
    I'm only staying Friday night and got it for £32.
    The only down side is I have to share with some lovely person called Lenny Henry. LOL

    Have to leave for home just after the game as we've a home game v Motherwell on the Sunday. Should be home for midnight.

    Now I have to arrange for a resounding Tykes victory. Any idea how I go about that? ;)

    Thanks chop I'll check out these two places for future trips when I'm down. The Hoyle Mill looks a cozy wee place.

    I've actually visited there before. Thought it was just a pub and not a hotel. I'll keep it in mind mate, Thanks.

    It was certainly my most important. I was with BigLil that day and I have never seen anyone so petrified for the whole 90 minutes. Even with 5 minutes to go I said to him "well that's it we've done it" and he replied "No Ian this is Barnsley you are watching, anything can happen"
    TBH I think I might have seen tears in his eyes at full time. At the end he just sat with his head in his hands reliving that game. He was a nervous wreck. What a passionate football fan he is.
