History of the Barnsley v Queens Park Rangers fixture

Q.P.R. pack their bags to visit Barnsley at Oakwell on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rangers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 11 and win only 3 of the 19 games.

The previous match played between the two at Oakwell was within the last three years, in April 2004, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3 - 3 draw in a League Division Two match.
