I’m pretty sure we won’t be seeing anything like this on our travels this season.

Personal opinion here - the walls just inside the players tunnel aren’t much better…fine for a subway or underground but a football club, not for me!
The players were rather complimentary of the tunnel painting when they arrived on Tuesday night for the Fleetwood game

would be a good place for fans to hang their flags there, instead of seeing that wooden fence and the wall.

Not sure what has happened to the ball stop netting. what we had towards the end of last season was a temporary measure and we were supposed to be getting a proper ball stop system put there over the close season.

That’s why I said “personal opinion”
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

It looks absolutely horrendous; I took the [SwearFilter] out of it on Saturday to my (non Barrow supporting) mates, you shouldn’t be taking the [SwearFilter] out of your own ground
I don’t even understand why it’s different colours of blue, or did the paint just start to run out?
Probably a non starter due to the weather but they’d have been better just ordering some more flags to hang along the wall if they wanted to liven it up a bit

Well let's face it the players aren't going to upset the powers that be by saying any other are they?
Those birds are huge ugly looking things but I bet the opposition have a good laugh.

Any one got any pics of the tunnel?

.. Hopefully the club will see this and at least remove the 'We are Barrow' before our opening home game... its pretty unanimous that it's awful and it's facing the away fans directly. We are just setting ourselves up for abuse.

Luckily there were only around 2 Salford fans on Saturday haha

Like we were getting a better solution to the shite view away fans get through that eyesore at the Holker Street end and a better area for disabled supporters and etc…..

EFL highlights are going to be on ITV, ITV4 and the ITV Hub - get some ad boards on there and put a few more quid towards plugging the black hole.

Removeabje poles with some netting would be fine When the club are saving money on hiring a media student and allowing infants to paint on a piece of wood, why the expense of a proper ball stop system. ?

And were they the only companies who were ever allowed to be featured there?? Try to get some new sponsors rather than turning it into Tony Hart’s gallery.
