Pub Update:

I have just spoken to the Lanlord of The Gatehouse, Eldon Street, Barnsley.

He informs me that his pub is not the designated away pub. However, he is more than welcome to have away fans in his pub, and has never witnessed any trouble whilst he's been there. What he did say though, if the police see lots of Leicester fans going in, the police will put a stop to it immediately. He recommends that anyone wishing to have a drink in his pub, to either wear no city shirt or keep it well covered up.

I would recommend anyone wanting to go shirted up, to drink in Sheffield.

OK guys.

The safe bet is the leisure centre. Always full of away fans, never any bother. Can't miss it - it's fairly huge and at the top of the hill smack behind the away end.

There are some pretty safe pubs in town as well, though so you're not completely stuck. I've got a Leicester fan mate who currently lives in Newcastle coming down and i'll be dragging him for a prematch pint. The trick in town centre is knowing where's safe and where isn't before you venture in. Avoid the Groggers Rest and the Court house near the train station but the Gatehouse is fine. You can then guage the atmosphere and see whether a head into town is a good idea. However, away colours and light hearted banter will not be allowed in the chain pubs (Yate's, Wetherspoons, Walkabout etc) - they tend to be a bit paranoid. However, they'll have bouncers and not usually full of arseholes, so long as you cover up and don't get lary you shouldn't have much bother.

I would stay out of the Mount near the ground - shit beer, too full, occasionally raucous clientelle. The Dove Inn at the top of Oakwell Lane has only just reopened after a refurb. Nice pint but an unknown quantity - i've not seen any away fans in there. The Outpost on Sheffield Road is reputed to be friendly towards away fans albeit a fair hike from the ground but for this reason i don't bother with it.

Anyone that's been asking about them being available on the day, the Police have advised Barnsley NOT to do this.

No tickets available on the day of the game.

You can however buy them in person until 10.30am Friday morning or give them a call until this time and then pick them at Oakwell.

I had a feeling this would happen. I can just imagine we sell another 800 tickets between now & tomorrow and then we only have 300 for sale on the day. More than that are bound to turn up on the day. A good move IMO!

OK, what is the cheapest train fare from Manchester to Barnsely then. Would I be better going via Leeds or Sheffield?

do a Jessel and go for a half fare

 

[M17TT C]

do a Jessel and go for a half fare

I have a young persons rail card already so won't make that much of a difference. I am thinking of doing a 'Jessel' and getting a concessionary ticket for the game.

 

[Lako42]

do a Jessel and go for a half fare

would that mean his seats smaller than the club coaches

Via Sheffield.

Cheap Day Return > Sheffield = £8.30 and the Cheap Day Return Sheffield > Barnsley = £3.10 - Total £11.40

Barnsley -- Now An All Ticket Match

OS has reported that

And the club are now urging fans without tickets to make their purchases at the earliest possible opportunity ahead of the game.

A City spokesman said: "We currently have around 1,200 tickets remaining of our original allocation of 4,900

"Following police consultation, Barnsley have now advised us that supporters will not be able to purchase tickets on the day of the game from Oakwell"

"Fans can, however, secure their seats at the ticket office up until 10:30am on Friday morning ahead of the game.

"Supporters can also purchase their tickets for the game over the phone until this deadline, with tickets then made available for collection from Oakwell on Saturday."
