Away Days.
Away Days.
Well that's it!! Our away days are over for another season. A huge thank you to Chris and Co for putting in the hours and work so our away days have been an enjoyable experience. Looking forward to exploring some new and not so new grounds next season where ever they may be.

Re: Away Days.
As an exile I get to as many away games as possible, although of course not using the coaches from Barrow. It is, though, encouraging to see a supporters' coach or two outside an away ground and a nearby hostelry full of blue & white scarves. So yes, a big thank you not only to the travel organisers, but also to the lads & lasses who use the coaches to get to the many distant matches.

Re: Away Days.
Even though I'm not on the terraces myself anymore. The noise you guys have all created up and down the country this season has been incredible and you can tell especially from the last 3 games that it makes a huge difference.
I really hope that people will continue to support the busses next season to encourage the players at whatever level we happen to be in(hopefully still this one)
Fantastic work by Chris and everyone else involved in Trust Travel this season

Re: Away Days.
Most enjoyable. The ups and downs of watching Barrow AFC. For me these last half dozen games we have shown a lot of character and I think done enough to be in the NL next year.
Don't know what sort of budget the manager will have but changes will have to be made for us to compete at this level.

Re: Away Days.
I haven't travelled away for some time but I enjoy watching the videos and reading the reports and comments on the away fans from our manager and other teams and its been one of just a few positives from this season

Re: Away Days.
As an exile, I tend to watch most southern based games and it certainly has been a tricky season. Plenty of highs and lows. Lowest for me was our carp performance at Torquay, no passion, pride or anything and more importantly NO PIES. Highest point, probably watching our first 3pointer at Eastleigh, capped by a fantastic Dunne volley. The last few games have been squeaky bum time. Most amazing moment was the half time talk at Dagenham, opening fixture. We were mullerd in the first 45 and once Cox managed to introduce everyone, we were bloody damn good during the second half. Big shout out to the hardy souls who make the long journey for each fixture, the support is always loud, so well done to all.

Re: Away Days.
Agree changes and additions will have to be made,but i think recent games have shown with good organisation, tactics, we can compete at this level. My only concern with Ady in charge is his lack of attacking ambition but i hope im wrong.Middleton Nick wrote: โThu Apr 26, 2018 11:36 am Most enjoyable. The ups and downs of watching Barrow AFC.

Re: Away Days.
We kind of mirrored your season all the way along. Ups, downs and merry-go-rounds Finally made it by obtaining a point with 2 games to go, subsequent to January window wallet splashing..Jo am back wrote: โThu Apr 26, 2018 5:09 pmAgree changes and additions will have to be made,but i think recent games have shown with good organisation, tactics, we can compete at this level.

Re the recruitment and Ady:
Chairman really need to open the wallet and search hard and long for potential "been there, done that" types, if you desire to make the number 1 spot. Then again, as we discovered to our chagrin the difference in playing standard between National and EFL 2 is greater than we expected. Chesterfield and/or Barnet/Grimsby will have taken that on board when the new National season begins.
As before, Ady is of the 1 - 0 win mantra, but it can all unfold. Much more exciting just to go for it with as many goals as possible to satisfy the entertaiment.
PS. Good fortune on Saturday.

Re: Away Days.
Credit to those who organise and use the buses. Special mention for Jamie who has introduced some radical innovations in terms of bus organisation - writing down names of those who have booked, doing a headcount at the services etc. Would never have happened on Stuโs watch.

Re: Away Days.
It did on Tony Lewis's watch. Not on mine though. They knew the time of leaving. Not there we're gone. Bit harsh when I think about it now.Lancaster Branch wrote: โThu Apr 26, 2018 8:03 pm Credit to those who organise and use the buses.

Re: Away Days.
Away crowd has been fantastic, was at Guiseley and Aldershot recently and can only say outstanding support at these games and others I have managed to get to this season.Adam29 wrote: โThu Apr 26, 2018 4:30 am Even though I'm not on the terraces myself anymore.

Take a bow
Have to say the best home support Iโve seen or heard all season has been Aldershot last Saturday they got behind their team from first minute and it would be tremendous if we could replicate this at home on Saturday.
Re: Away Days.
Ady gives the away supporters a special mention in tonight's Mail and hopes for more of the same tomorrow from everyone at home, as it does lift the players.
