Barrow v Eastleigh match thread

[blue nige]

I’m pretty sure Adam announced the attendance as 2262. If that’s the case I find that dissapointing given recent results

Eastleigh only brought a car load

Still poor!

Most of the time we’ve been in the national league we’d be buzzing if we were getting 2000 home fans every week

Was resigned to 0-0 so 1-0 up was a bonus.

A draw was what the match tried it’s hardest to produce so fair is fair.

Fair result I guess. We were the better side overall on play, but they missed an early sitter, scrapped like mad and had an absolute nailed on pen turned down.

Can't win em all. Can't win don't lose

[Beanmuncher]

Scrappy game, we were let off in the first 5 minutes when they missed an open goal. Was looking for a win at home but will take the point for a continued no loss streak.
Have always thought, and still think Cameron is a big bumbling galute but credit where it’s due - he put a shift in today and is running a nice goal tally so ….

Hope their fallen player doesn’t have a serious injury and he can be up and at ‘em agin soon.


Come on you bluebirds.

I thought we played alright eastleigh came for a point and did ok i thought there 7 & 11 played well we had alot of the ball and went on the attack just lacked that cutting edge still happy with 4 points this week and win the game in hand were in the top 7 so looking well really these young lads we got in have made a differance next home game is carlisle so lets hope we get a good crowd in be should get 3500 - 4k with just under 1k away fans

Four points off 3rd with a game in hand. Things I'd have done for that in Solihull.

That was then , so you think today's attendance from the position we are in the league is good??

A couple of food outlets in the fanzone wouldn’t go a miss. Turn a couple shipping containers into kitchens like at Gloucester. Money to be made

2300 is ok we used to average around 1500 in this league for many years when we have been at this level

Credit to every single one of them

And that's because we were nowhere near the playoffs!, why do people defend the poor attendances we get ,it's typical of the mindset we have, that's what Murray and Evatt alluded to,everytime at work the excuses people make of why they don't attend!
Hornby even said that the lack of interest from investors was due to the attendances, bury your heads in the sand ,but if the people of this area can't be bothered supporting a successful team ,then how will we compete moving into next season??

Disappointing result against a team with only 1 win in their last 6 games. However, their isn't much between any of the teams in this league other than Boreham Wood so we've had a brilliant run of wins. Noticed that only 2 teams have conceded less goals but 8 have scored more than us so it's clear where most improvement can be made. Cannot fault the effort and spirit in the team which can take you a long way in this league. Next league match is at a Gateshead team which is already cut off at the bottom of the league and one we should be definitely expected to win and then home to Carlisle who have had a run almost identical to ours.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how attendances have stood up after relegation tbh, I thought they would have dropped more. Would I want more fans in? Yes of course, but historically this is about our crowd level when enjoying a decent season. Big thing attendance wise this season is the massive drop off in consistent away numbers

Re; attendances. I worked with people who flatly refused to watch football at this level. They always said ` when they get back in the FL I`ll go again ` and they did . So, I assume a lot of so called ` supporters ` will revert back to the old mindset, which is their choice . Not a criticism just what I know, this is one of the problems we`re up against
