The man, understood to be in his early-20s, went to the toilet during the break in play during Barnsley's 1-0 defeat to Fleetwood Town, at which point he fell asleep. He then woke up around seven hours later, without any shoes on and having lost his mobile phone. Upon leaving the toilet, the man triggered alarms at the club's Oakwell Stadium that alerted emergency services. When they arrived at the stadium at around 11pm on Saturday night, they found the man standing on top of a portakabin inside the ground trying to get their attention. A Barnsley Fire Station spokesperson said: “We had to get the ladder to get him down. He had no shoes on and had lost his mobile phone and his hat. “He was more bothered about his hat though, he seemed a smartly dressed lad.” It's understood the supporter told his rescuers that he had consumed a "few beers". please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image The spokesperson added: “I know Barnsley lost again but it can’t be that bad, he must have had a big session for him to fall asleep for that period of time. “It’s slightly embarrassing for the lad but it’s a lesson for him I’m sure, he’ll not be quick to forget it.”
