For all things Barrow AFC. Keep discussions civil and fair, we're all Barrow aren't we!

Should be a good game on Saturday, the weather is set fine, the crowd will be over 8k and you guys have sold around 100 so far. We seem to be able to score goals relatively easily this season, but we also are prone to conceding unnecessarily. Safe journey all those travelling down.

'Twas ever thus. In their relegation season 2020/21 guess who gifted them 6 points. :roll:
Don't let the old man in.

Hoping we carry the momentum and get a point or three and the team seams to be settling nicely.
Wouldn't stick my nose up at a point but I see no reason why we can't cause an upset and take all three😉

Something is building here and though it's not quite perfect yet, I think you and everyone else will see Barrow grow this season.

Good luck for the season ahead and it's great to see other clubs support take time to post.

Respect

Evening.

For those travelling down. The railway by prittlewell station will allow well behaved away fans in for pre and post match drinks. Prittlwell station is closest to roots hall at about 5 mins walk.

On the way to the ground is the "fish house" which does excellent food.

The high street is pretty grim these days but has spoons etc.

Away end is rustic but can generate a decent noise. You will be alongside our blue voice supporters who will generate some noise.

We are playing some very nice attacking football and are joint top scorers in the league.

It will be a tall order for any team to get the points of us.

Good luck for the rest of the season and safe journey

Very true as we found out against Kidderminster. A game we should have won comfortably but somehow snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

That said we are playing with some real purpose and pace at the moment and scoring goals for fun, joint top scorers with Boreham. We have a very attacking squad. Parillon is on fire and arguably the best in the league. Certainly top 5.

Losing 2 players to international duty isn't helpful but our back up keeper is also very good.

Let's hope for a good game and the best team on the day takes the points. Teams won't find it easy to take points off us at roots Hall.

I will be watching on Dazn so will have to endure away commentary. I tried muting it for the last away game and listening to Adam but there was too much lag between the video and his commentary.

Pause one - allow the other to catch up and then press play
