I did wonder how you got 3 tickets for that price but purchasing is part of your daly life😀
😂😂 Many years ago on way home from Rochdale the car blew up as we just came off the motorway at North Stafford. Mate forget to put any oil in it. So many stories that still bring roars of laughter in the pub. Anyway blagged it all the way back to Didcot without costing a penny. 😂🍺

True, a longer train journey and a short walk to the ground is preferable to messing around with buses plus a longish walk. Train to Barrow is about 6.5hrs from Swindon with two or three changes & generally via Manchester. How close are Workington from getting back into the EFL. They have been higher up the pyramid since they dropped out of the league I think. I looked at the table for their League a few weeks ago and they were top, but I believe they have slipped down since

If the bloke I met in the Black Horse in Ciren Saturday, that showed me a photo of his "piss contraption" (no not that) - there are services on the way up you know In case you wondered - It was a big water bottle, tube and half funnel at the end...

Anyone driving some decent parking advice from a Barrow fan. Asda car park near the ground.

Thanks for the advice. Good to know.
Surprised they don't police that on match days, mind.

Don't take my word that they don't, I can only comment on matters geography, I note that the club website is very silent on matters parking. I suspect there will be plenty of on street, but again cannot comment on its legality.

Quick look on Street View shows plenty of terraced houses/back to backs in the vicinity of the ground (rather like Swindon, actually). With no visible parking restrictions. Can't really see parking being much of a problem.

Barrow’s home match with Salford tonight has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch - hopefully things improve for Saturday!

Bar Friday its supposed to piss it down at least part of every day until Saturday here (About 11 miles as the crow flies from Barrow), its hammering it down at the moment.

Anyone know what's the gig with buying tickets on line this late, obviously won't be able to collect them, do they bring them up and how would one collect, ta in advance??
Oh and for some reason the online ticketing will only let me buy one ticket that I assign to myself but I cannot assign two? I apologise for thinking you all moaning about the system were useless!

Are you in Millom, Cumbria? (Remember there being a 'Millom Red' on one of the STFC forums once.) Anyone know what's the gig with buying tickets on line this late, obviously won't be able to collect them, do they bring them up and how would one collect, ta in advance??
Afraid not. But you would think that Barrow would have no probs printing you a few tickets on the spot on Saturday if you turned up asking to buy. I'd give their ticket office a call.
