Yes, they’ve only ever gotten up as high as 18k average for a season when in the Premier League in 97/98 I thought they had a bigger fan base hence the 23k capacity but apparently not There was 18k for the recent Sheff Weds derby win.. but that was with 5000 owls |  |

This. The town itself has a population of less than 100k though the borough which is spread out over a larger number of other settlements is a lot bigger. 13k is certainly a decent enough average in this league no matter where they are in the division. |  | |  |
Interesting Barnsley fan view on why there may be 13k or less home fans Tues on 11:13 - Apr 23 with 794 views | unstableblue | “I can understand people on a budget hanging fire with this game. I’m brassic this month thanks to my stupid car so I said to the boy we’re only going to MK Dons if there’s something riding on it. There won’t be now, we’re finishing 3rd or 4th whatever. So I won’t be there sadly. That’s life sometimes. Now it’s gonna be playoffs (fantastic from Duff and the lads btw!) the last 3 games have a bit of a ‘dead rubber’ feel to me. Suspect we won’t sell many more but hopefully that means a sell out in the home leg of the play offs.” |  |
