Its A Sell-Out!!!!

Barnsley's massive match against Nottingham Forest tomorrow at Oakwell is officially a sell-out for home fans!

With tickets reduced to £5, home fans have snapped them up and now the Ponty End, East Stand, West Stand and part of the North Stand which is being allocated to Barnsley fans has completely SOLD OUT.

At last check Forest had sold 3,500 tickets and had been allocated another 500. This could mean an attendance of around 20,000 tomorrow. This would only be 2,000 less than the 22,410 who packed into Oakwell for the historic FA Cup win over Chelsea last season and it will be the biggest Oakwell attendance of 2008-2009, beating the previous highest of 19,002 for the infamous 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United.

Speaking of the Blades, Forest manager Billy Davies has attempt to stoke the flames ahead of tomorrow's blockbuster by saying his team need to be like the man who put Reds striker Iain Hume in hospital on that day in November.

Barnsley born centre-half Chris Morgan's elbow cracked Hume's skull and Davies says his side need to be more like him to survive.

He told the Nottingham Evening Post:

"They are all quiet. We are lacking in that mentality because of their age and experience. It is difficult to turn one or two players into monsters.

"People like Morgan at Sheffield United, they are experienced, they are grinders and they are nasty. It takes time to get that, but that's what we need."

Lets hope the elbows stay in check though Billy....

P.S Barnsley Football Club have advised supporters to arrive early tomorrow due to the high attendance. The official website says:

BARNSLEY Football Club are urging all supporters to allow plenty of time to get to Oakwell for Saturday's massive Championship clash with Nottingham Forest.

The game kicks off at 3.00pm and with Oakwell a sell out for home supporters and a huge crowd expected, fans are strongly urged to arrive early. Supporters are advised to be in their seats 30 minutes prior to kick off.
