Barrow AFC.net

Well our Welsh cousins have aspirations of a play off place, hope they don't do a Harrogate and park the bus. Might well get them a point but really they need three so hope they have go and make the game a good watch.

International weekend so available on iFollow, as well.

Our last 3 home games the opposition have not really tested us but can see Newport having a different approach a win could see them in a play off spot so don't expect them to be happy with a point,this will be a very difficult game for us but one we can win so over to you Pete.

I know it must be extremely hard work to organise but I thought this was a fantastic attempt at creating an atmosphere. Is this something that could be put on again for the run-in?

First part of my pre match conversation with the Barrow manager Pete Wild ahead of this weekends visit from Newport County in League Two:

I suspect Newport will play a similar formation and style to us, so we shall see how that plays out.

Unfortunately it's going to be windy on Saturday, which will no doubt play a part too. Hopefully we can take our chances and march on!

It's that match again when I remember my great friend Brendan Murphy. County will not park the bus but whatever the score Barrow will know they've been in a game. We've won 4 of our last 6 (and one of those losses was a last minute 1 nil defeat at Stockport) away so confidence is high. Lets hopit's a good game and the best team wins. Unless its Barrow!

2-0 in front of 3,376.

Think this is gonna be a tough game. 1-1, Stockton to score.

Don't shoot me here... Is proctor available? Wouldn't mind seeing Stockton - Proctor partnership for this!

We have tried other partnerships but not this with Stockton.

Really hoping for 3pts!

Gale force winds forecast so a scrappy game.

Very much my view. A win would be a real boost as the clock counts down to the end of the season, with matches running out for others to catch us up if we keep winning (win at home, draw away and we will definitely be in the mix).

Ex Barrow player Kyle Jameson playing for Newport tomorrow scored in the 2-0 away win at AFC Wimbledon last Saturday.

If the forecast gale winds materialise, would this be the first time a Barrow side under PW has had to deal with extremely strong winds? I can't recall an example (but then these days...).

Obviously there have been the odd blowy days when games have taken place but has the manager previously had to check his copy of the Walney Wind Scale before a match?
