We welcome Doncaster Rovers to Oakwell on Tuesday 29th October, kicking off at 7pm in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy.

Ticket Collection and Purchases
Home supporters with pre-ordered tickets can collect them from the Box Office located in the South Stand. Given the high volume of collections, it is advisable to pick up your tickets before 6pm to avoid lengthy queues. A collection point will be available outside the Box Office from 5pm onwards.
Visiting supporters can collect their pre-ordered tickets and any duplicates from the same Box Office starting at 5pm. Please make sure to plan accordingly to ensure timely entry into the stadium.

Ahem....

 

We've got a game??

 

You know what that means. They’re only paying ONE turnstile operator. The queue could stretch, ooh….yards.

 

Won't somebody think of the drinks queue?

 

Yes, that could be a problem for those willing to pay the inflated prices, missing the action as well. I prefer to take a little flask of tea and my own food.

 

Fair play to any supporter who turns out for this one. Should give them all a run out.
