I’ve Never Been to Barnsley
As Ipswich won yesterday, I thought that I might go to the match at Barnsley on Saturday. By train of course.
According to Google Maps, Oakwell isn’t too far from the train station and would appear to be walkable or a few pounds in a taxi. But the Barnsley FC web site assumes that all visiting supporters will come by car.
Not so, the Ipswich program of yesterday which says this.
Barnsley Station is around a 10-minute walk from Oakwell. Follow signs for the MetroDome leisure complex, from where the ground is clearly visible.
Surely, this advice should be on the Barnsley FC website, especially as Barnsley has a modern newly-rebuilt station at Barnsley Interchange. So perhaps we soft Southerners walk a lot more than those in the North.
It would be interesting to check health statistics and obesity levels for Barnsley against those for Ipswich.
I’ve also checked and I can get a First Class return from St. Pancras for just £38.30, which is only two pounds more than I paid yesterday for a journey about half as long.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Barnesly is a nice place, Apricot and Smokie live there, and my GF bread comes from there.

Is Apricot on holiday at the moment? She said she was going at this time, but it could have been Egypt.
