Away Fans' Guide | Barnsley

We wish to remind supporters of the importance of adhering to opposition ground regulations at all away games. These are standard practice across all EFL grounds, specifically in relation to the use of pyrotechnics, missile throwing and pitch incursions. 

Pyrotechnics and objects, or missiles specifically, can cause serious injury or harm. 

Any incidents of this nature will be investigated and could lead to sanctions being applied by Plymouth Argyle, the football authorities, or the Police.

Please also remain courteous when inside the stadium, with regards to foul and abusive language. If you do hear anything offensive while inside the stadium, please report it to your nearest steward. Tragedy chanting and discriminatory abuse of any kind is not tolerated.

If the match officials hear any abusive or discriminatory chanting during the game, they hold the right to suspend the game, taking the players off the field until further notice.

We would like to remind supporters that the strongest condemnation is employed towards discriminatory abuse, tragedy chanting, anti-social behaviour, crowd disorder and misconduct, and illegal activity inside football stadia.

Our stance on the above will ensure the strongest possible action continues to be taken against those found guilty of any offence, including the issuing of Football Banning Orders.

For fans who love a variety of great food and drink alongside live music, fun and games, the Reds Fan Zone is the ideal pre-match venue.

Located towards the rear of the East Stand, Barnsley provide live entertainment and plenty of refreshments a few hours before kick-off on match days.

The hosts welcome live acts from Barnsley in the shape of musicians, bands and comedians, as well as hosting Q&A’s with current and former players, live on stage.

No tickets are necessary to enter the FanZone, but capacity is usually restricted, operating on a one out, one in basis. The earlier you arrive, the better chance you have of taking in the atmosphere ahead of the game.

Refreshments are available throughout Oakwell within concourses. There are bar and refreshment facilities within these areas that offer a range of food - from pies (vegan included), chips and burgers, to hot dogs, chicken and pizza.

Confectionary, as well as both alcoholic and soft drinks, is also on offer. Barnsley have Carling, Madri and John Smith's on draught.

The concourses also show live TV, usually Sky Sports, and are open 90 minutes prior to kick-off.

• Barnsley reserve the right to refuse the allowance of flags or banners to be displayed, particularly if the content is deemed to be offensive, insensitive, discriminatory, defamatory or inflammatory.
