How far will Barnsley’s fans travel to Oxford?
Barnsley fans will be challenged to make this postponed game as they will need a day off work, or at least a convincing excuse why leaving work so early, to make the 2 hours and 53 minutes rough estimate journey down south.
The one-way distance that needs to be covered is 152 miles (244km) and with some tricky road conditions for sections of this trip likely we think it might take up to 4 hours to get to Oxford, so setting off earlier might be a good idea.
