Re: Barrow v Eastleigh match thread

I wasn’t at the match for the Paul Bastock “incident “ Who was the opposition that day and what actually happened ? 1997 we were playing Boston and Bastock was in goals for them. Tim Parkin CH for us was stretchered off suspected broken leg and as he was being stretchered off Bastock mimicked a lim...

Keith Nelson

Sad to read that former club secretary Keith Nelson has passed away. Keith worked tirelessly behind the scenes when the club got to Wembley for the 1990 FA Troohy final and was the principal organiser in the 35 year reunion held last year at the Masonic Hall in Fairfield Lane RIP Keith https://www.w...

Re: Barrow v Eastleigh match thread

Regarding attendance, what numbers do people think we should be expecting at this current time ? Personally I think the current numbers are about what you would expect…. Given we got 2536 against Wealdstone who brought less than 100 fans and the great run we are on the fantastic result at Halifax i...

Re: Barrow v Eastleigh match thread

We only got back up in 2015 because of Cassons investment, and were successful back in the national league under Cox when the money was spent again. So without investment and or an immediate return and promotion, you do wonder what the next 2-3 years could look like. Even with an immediate return t...

Re: Barrow v Eastleigh match thread

2300 is ok we used to average around 1500 in this league for many years when we have been at this level And that's because we were nowhere near the playoffs!, why do people defend the poor attendances we get ,it's typical of the mindset we have, that's what Murray and Evatt alluded to,everytime at ...

Re: Barrow v Eastleigh match thread

I’m pretty sure Adam announced the attendance as 2262. If that’s the case I find that dissapointing given recent results

Re: Our best manager/managers

Ray Wilkie for me.Who knows how far he might have taken us had his life not been cut tragically. Short.
The Wembley 1990 win gave the town something to shout about after years in the wilderness.
Wilkie gave the towns football fans belief again and got people talking about Barrow AFC again

I don't think they declare them for an abandoned game.

Re: Barrow v Forestgreen Rovers match thread

Fair play to the ref he gave it ago. Pretty obvious after ten minutes that the standing water was making it unplayable. Refs can’t win they get criticism if they call games off or try to play. Got to agree, the ref gave it a go, so I think it is unfair to knock him for that. Don’t really understand...

Re: Forest green Sat

Based on the fact our team are already here and have trained up at Rakesmoor lane this afternoon Do you think our club would have had the players travel through to Barrow this early if there was 'any doubt' surrounding the game? Surely the forecasted Storm Boelo cast 'some doubt' on the game going ...

Re: Barrow v Gloucester City match thread

Pikey was assessing him yesterday , hope it was duly noted how out of his depth he was. Sunday league referee at best. I hope Pikey's not soft. I just hope he didn't fetch the ref a bag of chips for after the match . . . he didn't even deserve soggy ones. Pikey wont mess about. If he thinks the Ref...

Pikey was assessing him yesterday , hope it was duly noted how out of his depth he was. Sunday league referee at best. It would be interesting to hear about how that process actually works; we hear about these refs assessors but nowt ever actually happens to terrible refs (yes I know it’s a thankle...

Re: Barrow v Gloucester City match thread

The results really confirm just how poor the National League is this season. Only 5 NL teams won against lower league teams while 7 drew and 2 lost. Even from the 5 which won, 3 of those were only by one goal. I’ve thought from the start it’s a poor league. You can’t fault the effort and endeavour ...

Re: Barrow v Gloucester City match thread

Just because it was a poor performance and poor game doesn’t mean we have to turn everything into a massive negative and make the world end. We get another opportunity Tuesday to keep the momentum going and go 7 unbeaten I fancy us strongly in the replay. They are at home probably come out more giv...

Re: Ben Jackson

We saw it at the start theres a player in there. Just fully devoid of any confidence. Hope for the clubs sake and his own this loan works or it might genuinely be a sign he's not going to make it again I agree many me included were waxing lyrical about him in the first couple of months when he sign...
