History of the Barnsley v Luton Town fixture

Luton Town face a trip to Barnsley at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 19 out of 27 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Two match.
