The Barrow Social

[John_Bucks]

Enjoyed that latest episode, some good picks for the XI's. But, like me, you don't go back as far as some on here and I think the deeper into it you go, the more interesting the picks would get.

I'd also like to suggest perhaps a cult XI - the team/positions that you loved, even though they weren't the best... Or is that just a way for me to shoehorn Andy Green into everything??

Episode 36 of the social will be recorded tomorrow

Joining myself, Freya & Chris will be the Barrow legend Paul Jones as we look back at his 2 spells with the club

Is there anything in particular that you would like to know about his times with the club - let us know and we will put those questions to him

[Adam29]

By far the most enjoyable episode recorded yet of The Barrow Social

Episode 36 is out now on BBC Sounds

This week, Myself, Freya & Christopher were delighted to be joined by the former Bluebirds skipper Paul Jones talking about his career.

We literally could have carried on for even longer but sadly didn’t have the studio time - we will definitely be looking at doing a follow up episode with him though sometime in the future

Sit back and enjoy over an hour with a true Barrow AFC legend

Always a good listen Adam great to hear from legend PJ so many thanks for that. I see you purposely poured cold water on any discussion around PW surely with 9 pages on the forum there’s enough interest to warrant a discussion. No one knows PW like you do and you obviously have a great professional relationship hence I would like to know your thoughts regarding the silence from sleepy hollow Barrow. For me I’d say he’s having a well deserved break from footy and spending time with family (rightly so) but not to hear nothing from our boss does seem very un-Wildy like. So for me and lots of others it would have been of interest to get yours and the Barrow Social teams valued views. If you all believe it’s a non story then fair enough say it.

Journos cultivate a relationship with the manager and the club.

If the reporter is told something "off the record" that's the way it should stay.

Loved Paul.Jones's contribution especially when he mentioned Barrow playing Middlesborough in the FA cup in front of 7,000 ecstatic Barrow supporters very nearly equalising and bringing them back to Holker St.It was a fantastic day out with us all shouting "Shoes off if you
love Barrow" and all waving a shoe in the air.The air was electric and Paul said it was one of the best atmospheres he had played in.Then again the 2010 FA trophy final against Stevenage, who thought they were going to roll us over and didn,t.Thought it was nice how he mentioned how Brian Keen sent them all to Debenhams so they all turned up at Wembley in suits ,a really nice touch that.Great memories.

"Thought it was nice how he mentioned how Brian Keen sent them all to Debenhams so they all turned up at Wembley in suits ,a really nice touch that. Great memories."

I didn't know that 'Methuselah'. As you say, really nice touch.
That reminded me - I cant be sure but, I seem to remember the 1990 trophy winning squad being sent to Burtons which was then on the bottom half of Dalton Road I think, to be fitted out in new suits, can anyone else remember this?

Not sure, but I have an idea it might have been Alexandra's which is on the corner of Crellin St/Dalton Road, where Lloyds Bank is now.

I would imagine Impact 4 would have had far more buzz than Burton. Alexandra’s eventual made way for Next which later moved.

Yeah, it was Burtons I believe.
It was the shop opposite the old Boots pharmacy on Dalton Road-which is now some sort of eatery/ pub (can't think of the name).
