Kendal and other friendlies

[John Very Little]

Its shown on the Kendal Town website that we have a friendly at their place on Saturday 11th July kick off 2pm.
Nothing seems to have been mentioned at this end, be a good little trip out will that one if true?

Erm..they seem sure it's on..noticed it on someome's Twitter with one of the players as well..

[DaveP]

remember last time we played there they kicked the shit out of us and wasn't that the match where lee woodyat broke his ankle. I know that was a "fair" block tackle but some of their players were totally out of order. If I'm wrong blame it on age.

[barrowaberdeen]

Been at least once since. Kendal has a history of turning into a bit of a messy day out..

[John Very Little]

Last time we played there was a function on in their bar so we all went across to the cricket club and used their bar beforehand, at HT and also after the match.

Will there be a bus to this game. or was it make your own way last time! Me and Jnr fancy our footy fix!

[barrowaberdeen]

Last time we got the train to Grange, had an ice cream and got told off by an elderly lady who befriended Nipps at the bus stop. Then bus to Kendal. Then pubs in Kendal, the game at some point then bus back to Grange. Commodore for tea then back to Barrow. Messy.

The one before we just got the bus however the one on the way back I was on was enlivened somewhat by a Barrow fan (Let's call him Bez Coyle) in an alarming state of undress on the top deck. Messy

I'm trying to give pre seasons up this year!

Mark, the 6/X6 bus to Kendal is every hour from Barrow Town Hall and takes 1hr 40mins so not a problem to get there!

Commercial manager told me last week defo the 11th gutted as I'm on holiday was looking forward to a local game

[Uncle Peter]

Just awaiting confirmation at our end but its pretty nailed on. i'll get the website updated asap.

And i don't think their will be a bus to this one as the x6 serves it well.

Unbelievable. ... How the club can arrange a friendly with that absolute shit club Kendal is beyond belief. Not only did Woody have his leg broken by a a third rate player, but the way way we were treated during the day was a disgrace. If I remember, many fans who were there that day said that we should never play them again.
Some people will do anything for a day out....short memories.

I'm going to have to disagree with you here Graham. Last time we played them in a friendly I took my little lad who was 2 at the time, he fell over and got a very nasty cut on his head and the staff at Kendal (some of whom were staff for the players) were absolutely brilliant. They were very pleasant and I wouldn't let what happened to Woody sour that opinion.

That's absolutely ok Chris what you experienced and I am really pleased for your little boy. But there were things that happened that day that I and others remember when fans said we should never go back again. They know who they are.

What I don't like is it took someone to look on the Kendal website to see we had a friendly arranged and we new nothing about it ?????????????

[Chris Benoit]

That's fine mate. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I have a fairly good opinion of Kendal based on my own personal experiences there. Still think we should arrange a friendly somewhere where we are very unlikely to ever cross paths (Barrow Town vs Barrow for example).
