Barnsley Vs Burton Albion
Matchday 92 marked the conclusion of our journey through League One, meaning we have now completed three out of the four leagues, with only two League Two grounds remaining.

Matchday 87 brought us what we hope will be our final midweek evening fixture of the challenge, and it certainly tested our stamina and determination.
