Three pubs on route to the ground from the M1: The Prince of Wales (Eldon Street North); The Honeywell Inn (Honeywell Street) and The Travellers Rest (Intake Lane).
Barnsley's pubs can be a bit indimidating, so cover your colours if you are drinking in the town centre. You have: the Old Courtyard (Regent St); Maceys, the Beer Engine and the Emporium (all on Eldon St); the Yorkshireman (Kendrig St) and on Wellinton Street is Chennells, the Corner Pin and Tommy Wallocks.
Oakwell has a two-tiered East Stand and single-tiered South Stand. A third new stand (North) has been added behind the goal and this leaves just one old half-covered stand along the pitch.
Palace fans will share the North Stand with the home support and have an allocation of up to 3,000. Here, facilities, view and leg room are very good.
