Accommodation already booked and I’m driving up there.This will be a new ground for many of us. I'm looking forward to it. A long day though.
Just about doable by train on the day, though the ticket costs are huge!
A very underrated place Bradford. Some parts of it and surrounding areas are stunning. If I was still in the UK I would probably do the same as I’ve not seen City play at Barnsley (although did see Leicester play there once in the 90’s)Accommodation already booked and I’m driving up there.
We’re staying for a few nights again at our “area base” for City games in or around West Yorkshire.
That’s in Bradford as prices there are cheaper than in Barnsley and all the other towns nearby which have Premier Inns as far as I could see.
As I say we’ve stayed there before. It’s right in Bradford city centre so plenty of places within walking distance to eat and drink, it’s comfortable and they have a secure car park which only costs you £10 for a week!!
Short drive from Bradford to Barnsley for the match and the days before and after visiting National Trust and English Heritage places.
City away, currys, pints and some culture thrown in. What’s not to like?
I like a good Town/City Hall. They’re often (but not always) one of the nicest buildings to see thanks I suppose to the Victorians!And if you plan to spend some time in Barnsley itself then I recommend the Museum in the Town Hall. It displays a good collection relating to Barnsley FC.
Good shout with the Premier Inns...My preference if I stay over.Accommodation already booked and I’m driving up there.

We’re booked into a Derby city centre one too later in October too.Good shout with the Premier Inns...My preference if I stay over.
My favourite(in England) Hartlepool Marina.
I think mine was the one on Warwick Road one in Carlisle (handily located between Brunton Park - down the road - for pre-match plus the Toby Carvery and adjacent Tesco superstore for emergency post-victory essentials)Good shout with the Premier Inns...My preference if I stay over.
