Why is the Oakwell pitch just about the worst in the Championship. I no longer live in the Barnsley area and I know that there has been some dreadful weather in the area but that must also be true of the likes of Huddersfield and Rotherham and their pitches seem so much better. I am still a Reds Reserved plus member and am watching the streamed matches on ifollow. I have been disappointed with the technical standard of the football recently but I can see that it is not easy to play an attractive passing game on such a poor surface. I am not critical of the head coach or the players and I welcome our position in mid table. I just wish that my friends where I now live did not make disparaging remarks on the state of our pitch. That also applies to visiting teams.
