Last updated : 07 October 2008 By Rob Miles (barnsley Boy)

Barnsley's massive South Yorkshire derby with Sheffield Wednesday at Oakwell on Tuesday 21st October 2008 is set to be an all-ticket affair.

The game which regularly draws over 20,000 to Oakwell is always a heated match-up.

This has led to South Yorkshire police to make it all ticket for away supporters and to negotiate with Barnsley Football Club to make it the same for home supporters.

A statement on www.barnsleyfc.co.uk read:

BARNSLEY Football Club can confirm that our forthcoming South Yorkshire derby with Sheffield Wednesday is all ticket for visiting supporters.

South Yorkshire Police have requested that this game also be made all ticket for home supporters. However, the Club are currently in negotiations with South Yorkshire Police regarding this issue.

Tickets for the game are on sale now to Barnsley supporters and fans are advised to book their seats in advance of the day of the game. Barnsley entertain Sheffield Wednesday at Oakwell on Tuesday October 21, 2008, KO 7.45pm.
