I’ve seen them play Sutton Town, they bought a fair few with them and the ones we spoke to were a decent bunch

From going up there with work it’s not one of the more picturesque Cumbrian towns.

That's putting it mildly, absolute shithole.

Barrow beat Scunthorpe in R1 with a spectacular goal from Dimitri Sea (ex Villa).



Long throw merchants? Just a shit mid 2000's Stoke?

They are not called Barrow Town!

Just Barrow AFC.

Barrow are my local team, or at least were when I lived there permanently. Grim, grim place. Furness is known as the biggest cul-de-sac in Britain (although I think there are probably hundreds pf places that call themselves that), the A590 is the only way in or out, it's very much like living on an island.

Fun things to do:
Walney Island
Piel Castle
Trying not to get set upon by the local thugs (there was a street of nightclubs and bars, long since boarded up, that was referreed to locally as the Gaza Strip)

Getting in quickly - if anyone with a good away history doesn’t fancy Barrow on a Tuesday night can they let me know please?

Same here. I am actually staying 12 miles away that week!

Wesley will be OK for this?
Against these just the tonic.
If he doesn't start grabbing players

I fear Wesley will be shipped-out by the time we get to ye olde shipbuilding enclave.

Ah Cornwallis Street. Probably went bust when they enforced under age drinking rules.

I went on a seal watching trip round Piel and South Walney just yesterday. Beautiful bit of coast rather marred by Barrow. I spent 8 unhappy months living there and 5 happy years up the road in Ulverston. For those thinking of staying the Barrow Premier Inn is a few minutes walk from the ground. Inexplicably they appear to have a Holiday Inn Express as well.

One road in and on out so once you negotiate the A590 it’s easy to get to! You’ll never go back once you’ve been. Also a lot longer to get to than you think once you’ve hit Jct 36. Remember to draw your third eye on your forehead to fit in 😂😂

40 minutes on a good day. Getting there in time for kick off I would say more like an hour with the traffic. There's about 30 miles of roadworks on the M6. When I came up there was a 30 minutes queue at Wigan.

Hourihane's last stand. Conor will get a hat-trick and leave the Villa the next day with nothing but well-wishes.

Shout out for 2 tickets if anyone with a perfect away record doesn't fancy or or can't make it
