oakwell
Saturday 12th April 1986 was my first visit to Oakwell to watch Barnsley play Blackburn Rovers in a Canon Second Division game. The game itself was yet again another bore draw at 1 1, Walsh for Barnsley, Hamilton for Blackburn. Oakwell has changed with all the redevelopments since my first visit, I remember standing in the away end on many occasion getting wet through. The main stand from the outside still reminds me of my first visit though. it stands there like a reminder of how things used to be amongst all the new build.
