Why would we want another thousand away when we will fill the ground on our own.
Agree we bother with 1000 away yet again more chance for the 1000 to throw flares and bottles on the pitch, if it had been Barrow fan throwing the flare he would have been done.
Red carpet rolled out for those who came on the pitch after their equaliser as well

Struggled to get past the steward picket line today. All the police there just ignored them. Wouldn’t of happened under Thatcher.🥹

What a result. 2 from 2 against promotion favourites. Just shows how far we have come in such a short time with Pete Wild. Let's enjoy this positivity and ride the wave. Keep it up boys. Cracking start.

Liz Truss will sort it out.

Or perhaps Little Richard.

Or perhaps not.

Wild has gone something going here and don't want to get carried away but There's not many team's who'll fancy coming here if we play like that what a difference to last season!
Yes, echo that, Nige. We are top scorers in the league at this time, who would have thought it? But Wild is right on the ball and in his post-match interview said very bluntly that he is still looking for one more player, a centre-forward. When you're doing well the only aim should be to do better still.

Ref bottled it for that second yellow. His hand was going to his pocket when he realised he'd already booked him!

What a game that was. Testing each other out in the first half but come the second half what a difference.
Fighting for every ball, putting their goalie under pressure and never giving up. Never letting their heads drop with each equalizing goal shows a great strength of character in the team.
Plus a great choice of music at half time and not too loud so you could have a conversation.
A great afternoon with more of the same to come I am sure.
Well done lads, you did us proud.
