History of the Barnsley v Bristol City fixture

Bristol City face a trip to Barnsley at Oakwell on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 21 and win only 7 of the 37 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2004, with Bristol City inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Tykes in a League Division Two match.
