Aldershot?

Wasn't Aldershot the last game before Ady Pennock officially took over, although he was at the club at the time?

Was definitely in charge then

Regarding the attendance...I don't blame people for not going at the moment. People can be called fickle fans if the team are trying but not getting the results they deserve but still the fans don't come. However, for way longer than is comfortable, the team has been putting in dire performances, absolute dross. Nobody should be expected to fork out for what has been on the field this season.
Last night was a great battling performance. I left the ground thinking we had been robbed of 2 points, because only Barrow looked like they deserved to win. If I wasn't a ST holder I may not even have been there last night based on the many previous performances. The return of the fans is in the hands of the players and the manager. Keep up the performances like last night and they will come back (slowly).

Very well said results will bring a certain amount of people but the hype and poor performance has put alot of people.
Once you stop going it's hard to get back into the habit unless it's to get away from being henpecked.
Dead easy win games no matter how people will come back.
So win on Saturday is needed and hopefully a decent midfielder being brought in .

Correct.

Correct.

Well, kind of - he said he wasn't in charge, but then when we were winning, suddenly decided he was. Clever move.

We have still not won at home under Ady!

Aldershot?

Although Pennock was at the ground it was Mickey Moore who was in charge that day.

Pity he hasn't had one since!

Micky Moore had long gone by that point! He was dismissed after the Shaw Lane result.

You're right - it was Neil Hornby.

It is not that "easy"

Gates never improved towards Christmas fourteen months ago and they never in seasons before that either. It'd be a combination of things...getting off to a good start to hold peoples interest, winning, entertaining football, decent facilities and holding on to a few from decent FAC/FAT runs.

It definitely is not just winning.

There has to be a culture of going to the match. We don’t have a culture of good away support, lots of reasons etc but there’s no excuse for home games. Sadly it’s been neglected for years and years. Competitive pricing, skewed towards bringing children along. Staff that make you feel welcome rather than an inconvenience. It’s the basics really and I could harp on for hours but as Del Boy once said - “there’s none so blind as them what won’t listen”.

Dave, Surely those comments should have anyone commercially minded thinking the word PROBIOTICS.
Get some Barrow AFC yoghurt stocked in the shop, it's the culture that might just catch on, It's the future!!
I have a more than a good gut feeling about it. If nothing else it should help to bring back the feel good factor.
