Missed tonight’s commentary as working and couldn’t pick up radio commentary in Preston - can only imagine how good it would have sounded at the end as I’m sure our commentary team were as elated as us fans are. Well done all at barrow, players, managers, board and well done Adam and his co-commentators for the excellent radio coverage throughout the season. Bring on 21/22 when hopefully we will be back in the ground

Kelly has a dog called Brian. Good to know.
He’s a proper Family Guy

I think it hit home how good Adam is as a commentator when we were forced to listen some of the drab away commentary when in full lockdown. Nice one Adam, getting better every season.

Apparently Phil Brown was at our game tonight and wanted to take his whole squad too! Can imagine the conversation...

Follow that lads! Followed by here’s what you could of won, not the bloody boat they reply! And Bully’s special prize.

He does not want the job but I hope he will stay as a coach once
Neil McDonald takes over.
Takes over what?
As Manager

Low of the Season appointing David Dunn followed by a follow up appointment of a sharp suited Lada salesman
Add Hardcastle as another low. Did him proud tonight.
That's not a low it's upsetting,but on the positive side it's good the problem has been found.

Remember watching Don Rodgers play against Barrow on a snow covered pitch a real talent we could not live with
Could be 1968-69. We played you at Holker Street on 15th Feb - Rogers didn't score but we did beat you 3-0. (The year before we played you in September, so it's unlikely to have snowed and it finished 1-1.)
Yes it was 3-0 ,I know it's a age thing but I remember when Northampton got to the First Division riding through all divisions

Echo this. Watching on ifollow has been better than nowt but it’s just not the same as being there. At least we have fantastic commentary from Adam to go alongside it, it’s a privilege compared to a lot of other efforts we’ve heard when the RC team weren’t allowed to attend away games

Thanks Adam (and thanks for the commentary)
Rob Kelly really does come across as a genuine, honest, hard-working guy. Qualities that we Barrovians admire.

Well done to all involved. It just shows what can be achieved with hard work and determination.
Rob Kelly, you sir will always be a hero at Holker Street. Well done and thank you.
Who else can’t wait to see some League Two action live next season?!

Empathy is a much-underrated quality.
