With the support of the football club, we have again this season joined the Junior Supporters Away Ticket initiative. The aim of this initiative is that we are given 25 pairs (1 adult + 1 Junior) of free tickets for the away games. In return Barnsley FC will reciprocate the offer to the opposition. To date the following fixtures are ear marked for this initiative. To take advantage of this offer you must be a member of the Supporters Trust (both Junior and parent/carer). Further matches may be announced on the website

There may also be the opportunity to become the Barnsley FC Mascot at these games. This is strictly limited to one mascot per game. For more details again contact Alan for more details.

The Supporters' Trust plans to run a coach to most of the away matches and would encourage you to use this facility if you live within 25 miles of Oakwell. . We hope that by doing this we will encourage a closer community within the Oakwell Juniors and ensure that the trip becomes an enjoyable and fun day out and that you meet new friends.
