    Post from the 'Lost Football Grounds and Terraces of the United Kingdom' site on Facebook. I don't know what is more suprising...

    ...Barnsley being in Scotland or somebody thinking there's a good atmosphere at Oakwell ;)

    Was just reading a very revealing and extensive research project by Sport Scotland (Gov) regarding the top 5 Scottish stadiums based purely on atmosphere. The project itself took over 9 years to complete and looked at various elements of Scotland’s stadia including, average attendances per regional populous, originality of chants, decibelic hand-clap readings (using sonar) and tonal timbre of singing when host team was both winning and losing. Fascinating. Here are the results:
    1. Aberdeen (Pittodrie Stadium)
    2. Hearts of midlothian (Tyncastle)
    3. Queen of the South (Palmerston Park)
    4. Barnsley FC (Oakwell)
    5. Falkirk (Brockville Park)

    Oakwell doesn't even have the 4th best atmosphere in Barnsley, nevermind Scotland.

    For me, the funniest part is that "The project itself took over 9 years to complete". It's clear that somewhere along the way, the project team had a few too many whiskies, turned left instead of right and unbeknownst to themselves, ended up on the wrong side of the border, somehow getting as far as Barnsley (and back 9 years later) without realising their mistake. Sounds like a helluva trip.
