Carlisle game
Re: Carlisle game
I know of one Carlisle fan from Dalton who has supported them for years. Must be difficult for him having another efl2 side just minutes, and not miles away.

Re: Carlisle game
There is quite a few Carlisle exiles living in and around Furness who still follow there home city side. Always see a few there sat with Barrow supporters when Carlisle have been in town
Re: Carlisle game
Quite understandable, there's hundreds of Barrovians who travel from Furness every week to watch bigger clubs.

Re: Carlisle game
Agree with that people travel hundreds of miles to support Clubs from Scotland to Chelsea and many in-between but would never consider supporting the local team, we have around 3,000 home fans but needs to increase for the Club to move forward, Carlisle would still get 5/6000 home fans even if relegated to the National League.

Me thinks only if they were doing well BTG.
Re: Carlisle game
If we can't pull in 4k home fans for this one I would be very surprised. Regardless of a Thursday night. With our home average just over 3k and some Carlisle fans sneaking in the home end we will be fine.

Re: Carlisle game
The weather will have a big say on how many from Barrow attend. If we get a good night I would hope for an attendance at around the 4600 mark if it's a bad night it will be a few hundred less.. If its a choice between
a windy wet dark cold night or watching it in sky tv the floaters will choose the latter imo.
Re: Carlisle game
Would love to see us beat them. Hopefully will get at least a point Saturday and have a full squad to pick from

True supporters should be at the ground irrespective of the weather.I,m 70 and I,ll be there.Main Stand SeasonTct wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2025 8:38 pmThe weather will have a big say on how many from Barrow attend.

As for Sky,it,s a bad deal when they can switch games with no compensation for the home club for loss of income in breach of the original contract which said plenty of notice would be given
I for one refuse to have Sky after Rupert Murdoch demonised the Liverpool supporters after the Hillsborough disaster printing lies in the Sun Newspaper .
If you dance with the devil you deserve everything you get.That deal will eventually lead tto.the elimination of a lot of a lot of EFL clubs due to a loss of income.

Get yourself a dodgy stick then you can stick two fingers up to Skys high prices and still watch the games
Re: Carlisle game
If Carlisle win today and that is an "if" they will be right up for it on Thursday esp if they see our performance today !
Need to get behind the lads Thursday and get further away from the bottom 2 !
