Forecast not too bad for preceding days but wet on Saturday 2nd. Good chance of getting the game on. http://www.gateshead-fc.com/

Gateshead 1 Barrow 1. Khan. Att 847

When was the last time we never played a home game over Xmas.....

Very frustrating....

The memory of Southport banished .......Gateshead 1-2 Barrow.... Khan and Walker (pen) 901 with 150 from Barrow.

Still to much edmos team 2-1 Gateshead cook with our goal

For once I really don't fancy our chances lose 2-0

Hate going to Gateshead, cold, miserable and no atmosphere - and we always lose! Can't see it being any different this year

My most hated of grounds, grimsville.

Think some of the players may have got their first Cox rollicking on Monday and probably don't fancy another. And our central midfield couldn't play any worse.

On that basis I think we'll get a draw at one each. Cook with the goal, he's due one.

800 crowd, 100 Barra, 20 children in flared strides, one grey gentleman watching for 'trouble' rather than the pitch.

Always lose apart from last time we played there.

With about 5 of us there to witness it Al. 4 trains and a taxi for me and Bahamasbluebird to get there.

I notice on the BT highlights shows that a small cluster of fans are usually housed at the back of the stand opposite the main stand and I've guessed this might now be the away stand. Their website confirms this to be the case.

It is the East Stand with its own toilets and refreshments and the website helpfully points out that it houses 4000. That should be useful.

I guess this may be because (home) attendances have improved, sometimes into four figures, making segregation in the main stand a little more difficult.

Tickets cost £15 adults, £10 concessions, £8 students + age 16/17, £3 under 16s and may be bought in advance online (at £1 discount for the first three categories).

First game of the season for me after boxing day was rained off, always a bit of a novelty seeing Barrow play in my native north east.

Agree about the inappropriate municipal athletics stadium, it is a crock of shit for watching football in, however, I am pleased to see that away fans have been moved to the opposite stand might help to improve the atmosphere slightly rather than everyone clustered in the main stand, might get a few more than usual with the toon being away and local people being in search of some new years action.


I am going for Gateshead 1 Barrow 2 with Cook and Khan with the goals and 1,111 supporters in attendance.

We have the second worst away record in the league with only two away wins.

I very much doubt it will change here we will get beat 2-1.

Hopefully the clear out of some of the dead weight happens.

Pilks, Harvey and fofana for starters.
