Have to agree with Tom ... to a point. Both teams looked dire with the ball in the air and lumped forward early. Clearly that was the game Adam wanted and we resisited reasonably up to the equaliser. We were galvanised in the final 20 minutes, when we played 2 actual strikers (rather than...

Yeah. But there weren't power cuts in other parts of the town In fact parts of the stadium had power (in addition to the emergency lighting) and there were no problems in the surrounding streets, shops and houses. It might have been a 3 phase overload or just general overload from the new...

After shipping 5 last time (the fact it was Posh will have more affect on the fans than the players, regrettably), I'm expecting a bit more steel in defence and midfield. We've generally taken a couple of games to react to tonkings, based on last season and this. Conceding an early goal (or...

Wish fulfilled tonight. My mate has to go as he's on the mic but I'd expect away "fans" to outnumber home for this one. I might have been tempted to keep up with Barrow Reserves progress against Liverpool kids but the draw of Ely v Histon in the Cambs Cup is too great. A chance to visit...

The Robin Hood continues to deliver. Street parking between the pub and the ground in the evening. More problematic on saturdays but a few options and a multi-storey nearby if all else fails. Quality food (not quick) and decent beer. Welcoming landlord. Found it with the Barrow gang and...

In the absence of decent options (we even tried the IKEA meatballs with IKEA Lager), The Inn on the Lake became our boozer of choice. Easy free parking, decent food and beer, pleasant easy walk to the ground. Not a proper boozer and not great if its raining but very welcoming. The landlord is...

Felt like less (sorry fewer - can't let the side down). 270-300 would be about right. We'd have had more, possibly double, on Saturday - Sky probably killed it for both sides. Have to recommend the Weighbridge Inn for any visitors who don't mind a bit of a walk. We rang ahead to book...

Best away day of the season so far. Local steered us to some free parking. Didn't get past the Alexandra and it's home-made sausage rolls, pork pies & fantastic beers pre-match. Cracking atmosphere with to and fro between fans in a packed ground and we grew into the last 10 minutes to nearly...

Pride Park will be ground 117 for me and (hopefully) a highlight of the season - I couldn't use my ticket last season for health reasons. Although I was at Hillsborough and the Stadium of Light (and Swansea when it was the Liberty) with similar hopes to see us ship 5 (and 6). 9/2 for a U's...

Are you heading for Stoke Station (Taxi into Burslem) or Longport Station (30 minute walk through Burslem)? Either way, The Bull's Head for Titanic ales and Oatcakes is a good shout. My preference is Iceberg or White Star, with black pudding added to the bacon oatcake.

To be fair, you can only beat what is in front of you. But Lynn were dire. I see little Conference North/South football but, on that showing, half that team would struggle to get a game with Cambridge City two levels lower. Southport just needed to be organised and know what they were doing -...

Sod it. That's Plan C for next Saturday then ....... City at King's Langley or Southport at King's Lynn in the Conference North. Both new grounds but ...................... :dk:

Thanks to Sky visiting the Abbey on Monday, Harrogate away will be my first Barrow game of the season. With the U's Wycombe game off for international call-ups the following Saturday, I might just get up to Holker Street for the first time in ages for the Morecambe game (last visit was the...

Well he's got enough about him to look after himself at Holker Street (although he did get a retrospective Red Card). and he's got goals in him.

That will certainly test our fullbacks and the support they get from, Brisbane Road favourite, James Brophy and Kaikai/Kachunga. That pitch is the third widest in the EFL, with only Portman Road and the New Meadow wider,

The Mem is only 1 metre wider. But we have managed to make it feel tighter.

We narrowed it down for our first season in L1. As SVH says, Mark said (with a nudge and a wink) it was to improve sight lines for the camera in our gantry. It has been effective in stifling the play of teams who like to work through the thirds and switch play wing to wing - like yourselves...

Record season ticket sales topped 3,000 as we anticipate another near Saturday sell out of 7,500 for our third home game against big team opposition Bristol Rovers in just over a week's time. Admittedly, disappointment at Fleetwood on Saturday and/or a flop in front of nearer 5,000 when...

Reasonably entertaining game with flashbacks to 10 years ago and away nights in the Conference - setting, atmosphere, style of play and opposition crowd swapping ends at half time. You're right, our 2 goals were gift wrapped and our back up CBs and DM struggled with the long throws and mortar...

Well, it'll be our Trophy team but they'll be after a win - if only to get starts in the league team. Of course you'll walk it if you play tomorrow.
