we got less cards than Scunthorpe

Thats not the point I'm making. 80 and 85 minutes on a yellow is a risk, especially with the way we play.

Without going into new ground debate, atmosphere at HS can be very flat. There’s no denying that. Fans likely to return to be part of a big match day atmosphere. If we could create half the atmosphere at home matches as I know our away fans do then that creates something fans want to come back to.

😮Oooo, each to their own these new fangled digital display bill boards are fantastic, I could sit and admire one for hours, except it would cause a traffic queue and I would get beeped at for sure.

Come and see us in the Trust office on the weekend and and we’ll give you a load of fixture cards for your friends so they don’t need to ask you all the time.

I think, making the Wilkie Stand full length from the Holker End to the floodlight house would help to create a much better atmosphere-and obviously give more protection once the larger crowds start to materialise.

The Referee overreacted booking Kalambayi and Ashbee after 5mins it wasn't even handbags other players getting involved resulting in both getting booked after that can't remember Kalambayi giving a foul away, it's not always the fault of the players just Referees not being consistent.

The second half performance yesterday as good as anything I've seen from Barrow in the last two seasons. I must admit l have been one of the first to condem this Barrow side but at the moment the whole team are playing for each other and it's a good watch throughout the team, particularly the wide players who seem to be causing havoc every time they touch the ball. Let's hope the Barrow crowd come back in large numbers because they are missing a treat, wide men who are causing chaos by running at opponents defence.

I think last season and the poor start this season put people off.
There is also financial constraints on people.
The no cash on the gate will put some off.

Yes they are improving, the way to get the gates up is to continue in this vain and importantly have a good cup run.

Suprising how many turn up if drawn against a Premier League team.
Really doing well just have to continue and they will come.
