    Why when you drive down Dodworth road is there a sign (Barnsley FC) telling you to turn left at the cross roads to head towards hospital rather than straight down to town end roundabout .

    Bit confusing for visiting fans

    Surely it would cause more traffic going left

    To avoid coaches etc going through town centre, i was always unsure but seems quite logical. Well for BMBC

    Used to be so that coaches end up going down Old Mill Lane then up Harborough Hill to park

    Probably because it was put there by traffic management specialists instead of somebody causing a thread about nothing...

    I wouldn't call them specialists. Have you not been to Stairfoot and Cundy Cross?

    I’m presuming it’s to stop football traffic going through town.
