That's a bit mad isn't it?

Where have they put all that snow? surely that'd be too much just to shove around the edge of the pitch.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Hope ref doesnt decide its unsafe on touchlines, if all this snow is piled up where his assistants have to run........

Looking at the above photo, it's been a good effort to get the pitch cleared; just hope they remember to take down the rugby goalposts and put up the soccer ones! :)

Fantastic effort by Newport fans. Preparing the arena for us to be stuffed on. ;)

No- you never know a nice point here would be a great bonus point. I keep telling myself If we do get beat- no panic- its' already been factored in as a defeat on my "escape relegation plan" spinning around my head.

Think we might just sneak something today - unlikely I know but I just have a hunch. :)

Big win today, can I be the first to dedicate it to fallen barrow fan Kingsman David Shaw, RIP

Now let's kick on and get a few more wins and see what happens.

Nice one Ste.

Can I also dedicate the win to lifelong Barrow fan, Bob Burns, who passed away recently. I went to his funeral on Thursday.
That was for you Bob. Rest in peace my friend. :scarf:

Outstanding prediction bobbie, but what I find even more incredible than that is that table toppers NCFC share with a rugby team and they played on there Thursday night.

What alchemy is this? half of Barrow supporters must believe that this manifestation just cannot be! Even Professor Brain Cox would struggle with it.

What is certainly believable is that we cannot continue to lose £171,000 per annum on an ailing asset i.e. a business that only operates for what 35 days per year? Someone please end the madness.

It's about time we had a "groundshare with the rugby" debate again. ;)

Excellent suggestion, the only problem would be which ground? Craven park is by far the better of two, but would not be acceptable for AFC fans.

This oft repeated topic will get everyone rolling their eyes again but the thing to do would be to sell both venues as they are decent retail areas and head for the hills or docks for the new purpose built stadium ideally in league with a hotel group or similar partner(s). Better than going bust, being run in a permanent crisis, or being bottom feeders forever in my opinion.
