Barrow AFC.net

Best position the club has been in for 54 years and people find shoyte to drag the club down. One word pathetic. Players can sign pay as you play contracts so might not be risk at all for Barrow.

Free agent
He’s a player that Pete knows and has spoken to him (no indication on whether conversation was prior to the start of the season or recent)
Currently training with his former club Swindon and talks that they may still offer him a deal.
Couple of other players trialling with the club at present

Any feedback on Richie Bennett.

Nothing since I last asked the question
He was seeing a specialist was the last tagline. Will ask again tomorrow for an update

Come on all you regular moan arses, big game tomorrow and everyone appears far too happy. Gotta say one thing that does annoy me, our new scoreboard (which I love) stops at 45 and 90 minutes, what’s the point in that, I’m [SwearFilter] furious( it does actually annoy me)

I agree it’s frustrating, but don’t they all do this?

One thing that gets my goat is the website.
Typical examples -
Click on ‘Away Travel’ and it tells you all about travel arrangements for the Stockport game on 1st day of the season.
Click on ‘Away Tickets’ and rather than Tranmere next week it’s still showing you how to purchase tickets for Newport last week.
Surely we can be better than this.

I think it’s because if they leave the clock running and the ref doesn’t blow when he’s supposed to (as per the time added on board) the world will implode ha ha

Get with the beat, BB. You are supposed to be more confrontational.

One thing that's always annoyed me about the website is having to go through all the pre-season friendlies before you get to the forthcoming games.

Fair enough if they want to do previous results but either put them all on, or put none on.

Pete Wild said he's back in training! Mark

Apparently not been offered anything by Swindon as they have 'enough midfielders'. Set to join us according to those in the know on the Swindon forum.

Yep they all do this. The ref goes off his own stop watch which may not be exactly in sync with the scoreboard and ultimately he decides how much to add on at the end of each half. The board going up is a minimum and they stop at 45 and 90 to avoid the whistles and the players pointing at the timer. We’ve seen ourselves this season Barrow games going way beyond what the board says.

…. Whilst I’m on and given the spirit of the thread- two turnstiles in the main stand ain’t enough no more. If you are a main stander tomorrow don’t leave it until 5 minutes before kick off for a walk up. Hopefully they can put a couple more in either side at the same time as they do the extra seats

That’s an excellent point, needs more if possible.

If you're in the stand can you get in on the popular side and walk round?

Once upon a time you could but since promotion and tightening up on movement around the ground I’ve never tried it. I don’t think you can walk along the Crossbar end any more as you would need to go right in front of the tunnel.
