Barnsley fan rescued seven hours after falling asleep on toilet at Oakwell

A Barnsley supporter was reportedly rescued by firefighters seven hours after falling asleep on a toilet during the League One side's match against Fleetwood Town on Saturday.

The male supporter, in his 20s, had used the facilities at Oakwell during the half-time break, but fell asleep and had to be rescued by the emergency services at around 11pm.

According to The Mirror, the fan, who shouted for help from the roof of a portable building in the ground, told firefighters that he had drank a "few beers" before the match.

The man triggered an alarm when he made his way down a walkway in the stadium, which earlier hosted a 1-0 away win for Fleetwood.
