BARNSLEY

Oakwell (capacity 23,009)

Oakwell Stadium was built in 1888 and was extensively redeveloped in the 1990s, with only the original main stand left standing. The East Stand was first to be rebuilt in 1993, followed by a new South Stand in 1995. A new North Stand completed the works in 1999.

The club owners continue to consider any plans for further redevelopment, although this is subject to ground ownership matters being resolved. A unique feature of Oakwell is a purpose built stand for disabled supporters which is a three floor structure located between the East & South Stands.

Away fans visiting Oakwell are located in the North Stand, with a typical allocation of around 2,000. The stand itself holds 6,000 but for larger followings, restrictions can be in place which limits the allocation to around 4,500.
