Away fans

Post by tictactoe » Sat Aug 29, 2015 5:24 pm

Is it right that away fans aren't allowed in the xbar? Going today was told there is a bar for away fans on the Wilkie road side and when we went in xbar the steward asked people behind us if they were home fans . Personally I don't agree with it if right they should be allowed in

Plenty of Dover fans in there for the first home game. Maybe the club's policy has changed since then?

It was a segregated game so that will probably be the policy in future.
Don't understand why as we haven't had any trouble from Southport fans previously as far as I know.
They gave Jason a good round of applause when he was subbed as well.
I wonder what the bar looked like on the Wilkie side?
The xbar is becoming a joke to be honest.
I hope away clubs are more welcoming to us on our travels.

We paid a £1 to get into the Cheltenham Town bar last week which I don't have a problem with.Decent bar.Why can we not do this at Barrow ?

Pay to get in the bar and pay to park your car. Sorry Nick, this is still non league (the Arse holes at the FA might say different) what will you be happy with next, pay for a [SwearFilter].

We have to pay £2 to park in a couple of weeks Nick. And that's on a bomb site. Robbing [SwearFilter]. But when you want to spend money at the club shop ( :lol: :| :lol: :lol: ) there's is sod all to spend it on.

Find it strange that they segregate the Southport fans then let them stream out amongst the Barrow fans at the end of the game.

They were under a police escort when they passed us in Wilkie Rd. It must have been for their safety cos they seemed a decent bunch.

There was a delay due to an accident on the M6 after the Milnthorpe turn off due to a major traffic incident, I think segregation goes on police advice and we all know how reliable their information and take on things are/is! Don't see a problem if the visiting club is notified beforehand tbh, nice to see that the club is trying to cater for for everyones needs! I just hope it's reciprocated elsewhere on our travels!!!

Most of our away travelers don't bother with the clubhouse anyway as they get dropped off in the town or the nearest pub. Personally I like to go to the clubhouse.
Most unwelcoming up to now over the seasons was at Fleetwood.

Always like to take in the hospitality of our hosts wherever possible! But sometimes you just don't feel welcome, like Tamworth last season, even though the barmaid in the small bar was charm personified!
