Bbc To Screen Barnsley Game

[Fulham Broadway 16,392]

The BBC will screen three of the four FA Cup sixth round matches, starting with Barnsley's home tie to Premier League side Chelsea.

Barnsley beat Liverpool in the fifth round and the tie from Oakwell will be shown on 8 March at 1730 GMT.

Sheffield United or Middlesbrough will play Cardiff at 1310 GMT on 9 March and that will also be shown.

The action will be concluded on Sunday when Bristol Rovers take on West Brom at 1800 GMT. League One Bristol Rovers are the only team from outside the top two divisions still left in the tournament and have beaten Fulham and Southampton to reach the quarter-finals.

The other tie of the round is between Manchester United and Portsmouth and will kick-off at 1245 GMT on the Saturday.

I've a feeling the club will lay on a cheap train for those going as well. Not sure of the allocation but guess around 3 500.

The article on the Barnsley website makes it sound like we have 6000. Not sure though.

That would be better - would have overun the whole ground circa 1980-81

if the cricket grounds in india were like the football grounds in England without protection, we'd have pitch invasions after great victory or bad loss
