The unofficial Barrow AFC fans forum
https://barrowafc.net/
Yesterday Adam wasn't on the mic so it would be unreasonable to expect the stand-in, Gary Woodworth, to have spoken and contributed quite so much or as knowledgeably (although he could have got our players names right during commentary). Also, Adam has said repeatedly that if we, the fans, don't get involved with texts and conversation then they can only do so much. Clearly, Carlisle folk are more garrulous than us Barrovians.Methuselah wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 1:53 pm Correct me if I am wrong.When we had a studio in Hartington St in Barrow which was called Radio Furness before we merged with Radio Carlisle to become Radio Cumbria we used to get greater coverage and think the presenter was Ron Duxbury.
Could it be because all the studio facilities are now based in Carlisle at the other end of the county 96 miles from Barrow.I seem to remember that The Bay always used to give us fairly good coverage also.Perhaps Radio Cumbria could work in conjunction with Cando Radio to give Barrow a bit more airtime.Just a suggestion.

The bay were only ever interested in Barrow on a big occasionMethuselah wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 1:53 pm Correct me if I am wrong.When we had a studio in Hartington St in Barrow which was called Radio Furness before we merged with Radio Carlisle to become Radio Cumbria we used to get greater coverage and think the presenter was Ron Duxbury.

They very rarely sent a reporter to Holker street to cover games yet Lourded over the fact we played at Wembley in 2010
In terms of yesterday i was very ill and couldn’t travel so Garry stepped up to the plate at 8am in the morning so with the fact he had no prep etc he did a damn good job
)Cando never did full broadcastMethuselah wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 9:01 pm The reason I suggested linking your commentary to Cando FM was so that you could carry on with your broadcast at half time and after the match instead of handing back to Carlisle.It would be one way of allowing Barrow matches and commentary to be heard in tandem with the Carlisle matches.I think Cando FM have broadcast Barrow matches before we were promoted.That is unless of course the BBC agreement with the EFL prevents the sharing of a broadcast.
A proper article about football from a journalist know seems to know what he’s talking about…..compare and contrast to NWEM who often plagiarise their “articles” straight from interviews on the club website.
