It piqued my interest after Steve Cooper commented in the Barnsley post-match interview on Sky Sports about the unfair fixture scheduling with two long distance away matches (Barnsley-Blackburn) within 72 hours of each other.
Now unless they travel to away games the day of the match, which I’m pretty sure they don’t, here’s their travel details -
Barnsley: leave Friday to overnight for Saturday night’s match, getting home Sunday.
Blackburn: leave Monday to overnight for Tuesday night’s match, getting home Wednesday.
Over a thousand miles of travelling -
Barnsley 254miles/508miles 4hrs 18mins/8hrs 36mins
Blackburn 258miles/516miles 4hrs 16mins/8hrs 32mins
