    Don't know about Barnsley, but it's black as night up here in Brontecestershire and been chucking it down all day. Forecast for S71 is heavy rain all day and night then rain all day tomorrow. I hope the Oakwell drainage is up to it.....it's absolutely grim out there ☹️

    Can anyone remember a game at oakwell that was off because of the rain? I’m certain it must have happened but I honestly can’t think of one off the top of my head in my time as a Red (about 35 years).

    I remember reading something in the distant past about the ground have particularly good drainage. But it was a while ago and I might have dreamt it?

    The only game I can remember being called off for Oakwell being waterlogged in my decades of following The Reds was around 1980. We were due to play Hull City. I worked with a big Hull fan so we agreed we'd go together (we both worked in Melton Mowbray at the time)
    I picked him up and drove to my Mum's in Birdwell for the customary pre-match fry-up/lunch. Before we set off to Oakwell the T.V. announced the match was off due to waterlogged pitch. Curiously it was Grand National day (?????) so we settled for getting a bet on at the wooden-hut bookies that used to be in Worsbrough (near where the Cutting Edge pub used to be). Biggest thing that impressed my workmate was when fight broke out in the bookies - not the punters, but between the two women who were taking the bets behind the counter. Pulling hair, slapping, kicking, dragging each other onto the floor, until the manager (?) came out to separate them - no punter was smart enough to open a book on the winner of the brawl though . Think it was something boyfriend related......

    I once took a lass that I met in Cambridge (posh local girl, daddy was a farmer) to the Thurnscoe Hotel in 1980ish where she witnessed a fight between 2 "ladies" involving smashed beer glasses. She was totally traumatised.
