I imagine that's about five times what they usually sell for this fixture?

I'm down in the area this weekend but the 1pm kick-off scuppered my attendance. 3pm would have been perfect.

All opinions expressed are my own , not here to cause kick off just enact debate.

There seems to be a new generation of ‘entrepreneurs’ at Holker of late.

£10 to see a Football League side at your top local non-league club seems perfectly reasonable.

Too much 'little Barrow' mentality?

I am hearing it does rankle somewhat that they charged £5 for last week’s Lancaster game. So now it looks like they are trying to milk the club for all it’s worth for the Barrow game. Consistency from the off would of been more appropriate.

Hardly worth charging £5! No matter, doubling that to see a team three tiers higher is reasonable.

Not an EFL game so, no.
Don't let the old man in.

There will be very few games on iFollow now if fans are allowed back in at full capacity

Haven’t the games v Holker / Furness Select always been about giving a bit of money to a local club. Don’t see the issue

LDBF lives outside the UK, I think, so should have access to all games.

Agreed. I thought we’d sell all 480 tickets fairly comfortably tbh

Everyone will be saving themselves for a potential all day session on Sunday (which in an ideal world would roll over to Monday).
Popular side since '03.
