Seems someone's adopted the motto of IT companies the world over: "If it ain't broke, break it".

An artist who ran out of blue towards the end of the “we are barrow” and had to make do with 1 coat on the last few letters. Wouldn’t get a job decorating with Col Cowps

The burger van is probably an improvement (just hope the owner thinks so), but why ruin it with that finale?

The one in the tunnel isn't great but borderline ok. As for the we are barrow on the wall absolutely embarrassing. Lets hope the club do its usual and listen to public opinion and then change their minds. Get rid ASAP.
everyone is entitled to their opinion, deal with it

They obviously read this forum so let's hope that monstrosity disappears over the weekend. Just imagine the TV cameras focusing on that. A bit like them showing pictures of Barrow Island flats whenever they talk about Barrow. That will now be the image portrayed. Well done Barrow!

Absolutely horrendous as most have said, that excrement must be removed off the wall at least before the TV cameras arrive next week

The van and the tunnel are alright, the wall needs a rethink…

This.

Something to improve the look of the ground is 90% of the time beneficial however this is something that could have been put to the fans first for the tunnel especially i.e some design suggestions. As mentioned at the very worst some paintings of iconic moments in the club's history, trophy lift at Wembley etc. Wall should have just been left blue or white.

Won’t happen, we offered but the reply was - it’s a work in progress.
Personally I think whatever it ends up looking like it’ll still remind me of some inner city vandalised subway. Again, a personal opinion, graffiti style murals don’t have any place inside a football ground.
That is going to be on full view to the cameras and quite a large TV audience, it doesn’t really project the right image does it?
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.
