Barnsley away 1981 - How it was, when it was nufc
10 seconds agoIt is 17th October 1981 and another trip to South Yorkshire, this time it is Barnsley at Oakwell.
The lay-bys and hard shoulders were packed with fans relieving the pressure on their excessively full bladders and it was a sight that I found to be the norm as I started to go to more and more games. However, moments later a much larger group of Newcastle fans came in and they were older and louder, one of my mates said ’these won’t take any sh.t from anyone’…….he was right!
Firstly, an argument about a game of pool escalated, as both sets of fans used pool balls and cues as weapons and a full on bar brawl broke out that lasted a full 15 minutes. Windows were put out, one or two were hurt by flying objects, as the pub became a battle ground. The four of us were agog with a mixture of excitement and fear but thought it best we leave, so we upped it and left by a side door.
Now Oakwell was a tightly packed ground with a main stand where the tunnel was, a covered home end and an uncovered visitors end. The opposite side from the tunnel was a long terrace covered in with a roof and this is where their ‘lot’ stood and it has to be said, created quite a noise.
