It seems Barrow will be without most of their home end at their ironically named So Legal stadium, after some clown threw a firework onto the pitch in their Pizza Trophy game against Carlisle last week, exploding close to the Carlisle ‘keeper.
Having started well under Pete Wild, they now find themselves below Town in the table and third bottom in the form chart. They haven’t won in 5 in the league, going all the way back to 17th September. Their last win at home came before that. They are not happy campers up at Holker Street at the minute.
Our record there is pretty good, too. Since we dropped into the Conference in 2010, we’ve played 5, winning 3 and drawing twice. In fact, we’ve won our last 4 against them home and away, with our post 2010 record sitting at P-10 W-6 D-4 L-0.
What does all this mean? Well, not a lot really, other than that the conditions going into the game look favourable to a Town side really beginning to find its groove and with a seriously away record.
Barrow away isn’t the first one you tend to look for on the fixture list, but all things considered I’m looking forward to tomorrow night.

Presumably they’re not expecting a baby together? |

I Checked the Barrow website, press and twitter and no mention of this. Is it speculation or hope? |

It’s in here: https://www.barrowafc.com/news/2022/october/191022-club-statement-crowd-issues/“In the interim, a section of Holker Street will be closed until further notice.” The suggestion on the Barrow forum is that it will be the central section of the Holker End, their home end, which makes sense as this is where the firework was thrown from. Seems this is proactive action from the club, seemingly aimed at sparing themselves the worst of any sanctions to come. |

Barrow away wasn't attractive when I lived in Cumbria, I tip my hat to all of those dedicated souls who make the trip from town

I did it the first time we went after relegation - beautiful sunny day all the way to Penrith, then Baltic when we got to Barrow! It's not a trip I'll be in a hurry to do again, especially on a Tuesday night! Kudos to those that go though, hopefully you can bring 3 points home  |

Thanks for that.  |

Just booked a hotel round the corner from the ground for £30.
Makes the trip a little more appealing.
