National Zigger 1991- 1999

Post by Jim » Sat Jan 03, 2026 11:39 am

I spent some of my 'quiet time' over Christmas sorting out a box of Barrow memorabilia, including programmes. league and non league, and other stuff. I am still working on it, but for a start I have a pile of about 30 National Zigger - the newsletter of the National Supporters Club - from 1991 to 1999, with some gaps.

Some notable headlines were:
Nov 1995: Work starts on new stand
Sept 1996: Peter Smith sold for £5000; Team bus catches fire
Nov 1996: The Big Mistake - Barrow go top; £80,000 debt looms Larger
June 1998: Vaughan Gambles £1,000 on the Title
Jan 1999: Financial Suicide

I am wondering if anyone (archivist or club historian) would like to have these? If so, please PM me and I will be happy to post them to you.

Could be worth giving Steve Herbert / BarrowAberdeen a shout as no doubt there’ll be some good snippets in there for the 125year memorabilia
