Given that Rotherham and Doncaster Rovers have respectively 12,240 and 15,000 capacity stadiums why do Barnsley need such a large stadium. Whenever see match day pictures Oakwell always seems half empty. Accepting that your gates are quite good for a 75,000 town at 12,000 it must be soul destroying for the players to play in front of a half empty stadium. One person in six of the townspeople seems a good turn out but nevertheless ? Oakwell’s one of the more generous grounds for away fans, good job eh ?

Yoooo Reeeds
