Barnsley friendlies changed

Last updated : 14 July 2003 By Mad Tyke
The Reds have had to alter their pre-season and will take a trip to Scottish Premiership club Partick Thistle on Saturday 26 July. This replaces the Halifax Town game at Oakwell.

Friendlies against Sheffield FC tomorrow and Hucknall Town on Saturday have been called off because we are still in administration, do not have FA membership and are therefore not allowed to play.

Barnsley spokesman Chris Patzelt explained that the club expect to submit paperwork to the Football League and FA this week and could be out of administration within the next 10 days.

A routine FA financial inspection on Friday was postponed after the official due at Oakwell was involved in a car accident.
