From official site ARRIVE EARLY!!! Posted on: Sat 01 Mar 2008 BARNSLEY Football Club are urging all supporters to allow plenty of time to get to Oakwell for the massive South Yorkshire derby with Sheffield Wednesday. Today's game kicks off at 3.00pm and with a crowd expected in excess of 20,000, supporters are strongly urged to arrive early. Supporters are advised to be in their seats 30 minutes prior to kick off. http://www.barnsleyfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10309~1253338,00.html Presumably as the game is all ticket we should have had a decent idea of how many were actually going to turn up and it was only just over 18000
well there certainly was no more than declared very poor turnout from the reds fans which I can largely put at the door of Don Rowing and his bizarre ticketting distribution methods.
well at a guess the two per ticket causing huge queing, unclear information about how to get a ticket for today, e.g wednesday is the only time but it wasnt. Im sure non of this helped, Although Chelsea next week (so cost of two games) the weather and it being all ticket probably also kept some away.</p> </p> Not to mention the god awful stuff Mr Davey serves up as football</p>
