Feels like we've been able to win this without getting out of second gear. Spennymoor have worked hard and had their fair share of the ball but didn't create much. We have looked more dangerous when going forward and both goals came from good quality balls forward and movement. A professional job ag...

Don't know if it has been mentioned before, but the last time we played Spennymoor as a league club was in 1953 when we won 3-0 away. Was surprised to see that this was our only time playing them in the FA Cup, and never in the Trophy. You'd have thought there'd be at least one qualifier from the 8...

All you have to do is look at a league table from the Football League 20 years ago. Most teams in League Two then have since had some time in the non-league: for 04-05 it is 21 of the 24 who have spent some time in non-league since then. I lose track of who's where in the National League these days ...

I can’t help thinking that if Vaughan was considered a fit and proper person to own a football club then my dog would probably have passed it too. Actually I believe that Vaughan was (eventually) the first person to ever fail the fit and proper person test, during his time at Chester. Which if you ...

I've been wondering about John Oliver's Last Week Tonight programme. They have been involved in various stunts, spending a lot of HBO's money to make a point about political issues. Buying a club of Barrow's size wouldn't be beyond their means. I wonder if they have a vision about doing something th...

By all accounts he’s not staying next season and so once safe it would make sense to give Stanway a run of games again and prove his worth. I'm not convinced by Stanway as a first choice Football League keeper, but I agree that if the club knows Farman is going then giving him the matches to make h...

Hard to get excited for this as it's league two vs league two but it's winnable, be a hard game and if anything we are due some luck. Still mad to think about how things change. 10 years ago when we were getting knocked out by Runcorn in the 2nd qualifying round, reaching the point of Doncaster at ...

Canadian journalist reporting $171k over two years. That's just under £100k.

Worth adding that Barrow's population has dropped by about 10,000 since the late 60s. This year's attendance is probably a higher percentage of the town than in 1968, just short of 10%

Maybe they're too small to care about, but I'll never forget the way that people in Atherstone campaigned that "their lads" were all innocent after they attacked a bunch of Barrow fans. If there's one club I'd be happy to see go under and a town left without football, it'd be them.

Solid in the first half with three centre halves, but couldn't create much. More opportunities in second half with 4-4-2, but far too open in defence and couldn't take the chances we had. We weren't great today, but didn't look as hopeless as poor matches in last two season. Could see where goals co...

With Bennett off on loan as well, looks a lot like Wild is trying to clear out the squad now to focus on giving game time to players who he wants to work with next season.

One for the older fans - how did Barrow manage to get ourselves into the Alliance Premier in 1979? How did we suddenly do OK in it after being pretty awful beforehand? Were we on a path to improving or would we have folded if we hadn't been promoted? We had been pretty desperately bad through the 70...

"there is a possibility no further Premier League matches will now be played this month" If that occurs I reckon the EFL wil follow suit :cry: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/heres-very-normal-reactions-britain-185927316.html The wording is misleading. There's an international break after the w...

I was impressed with the lad who started at left back, Warren. He linked up well with Kay who started on the left wing/midfield. Maybe a few mistakes in him but early days with the team, and he provided some good defensive cover and started a few attacks.
