The Reds have eight scheduled Tuesday night fixtures as things stand, seven of which have the potential to be real six-pointers.
As Barnsley fans digest the excitement of this morning's released Championship fixtures, there must surely be some further enthusiasm for the games that will take place beneath the floodlights.
Barnsley FC have eight pre-arranged mid-week games, four at home and four away, and it's safe to say that they represent a challenging set of fixtures for either sets of fans.
The midweek games arranged so far:
Tuesday, August 15: Nottingham Forest (H)
Tuesday, September 12: Reading (A)
Tuesday, September 26: Queens Park Rangers (H)
Tuesday, October 31: Burton Albion (A)
Tuesday, November 21: Cardiff City (H)
Tuesday, February 20: Burton Albion (H)
Tuesday, March 6: Cardiff City (A)
Tuesday, April 10: Ipswich Town (A)
Whilst many of these fixtures are definitely not our most glamorous ties of the new season, I'm sure that there are plenty of folk, within the Barnsley faithful, who will be willing to share their voice at home or make up the miles on the road - all following their beloved Reds.
Teams such as Nottingham Forest, QPR, Cardiff City and Burton Albion not only account for more than half of our midweek games, but they could also be crucial fixtures in deciding each team's eventual finish.
Safe to say, there's very few clubs who we can definitely say we are financially superior to from this lot. If you can forget about the derbies for a brief minute, these specific fixtures could be a big indicator of how Barnsley will finish up this season.

It was 1995 and a cold, wintery Tuesday at Oakwell, hosting Tranmere. At 10-year old my sister’s boyfriend siezed the opportunity to instill his beloved Barnsley FC as my team, and took me along. Sat in the lower East Stand, I remember feeling there was something special about football under the floodlights ~ Craig Oldham, My First Match - Sharing Memories of Barnsley Football Club
