Also just to say how good Ady Pennock was with them too. You can tell he's used to dealing with large groups coming to the ground and that sort of connection. Despite how much we may dislike to hear it, clubs like Fylde, Telford,Forest Green where he was are very good at getting as many through the door as humanly possible from a small catchment. Imagine what we could do and the club have plans to do more on a bigger scale.

This is the best news to come out of the club this season- I will say it softly but I am feeling optimistic for the rest of the season.
Well done all in getting this done. Long may it continue

I am really pleased about it but beyond taking some kids down as did other schools this really is down to Craig and the rest at the club.

Having spoken to a few at the club they are keen to do more of this and all we can do is get behind it. It has been such a rubbish couple of months so decent to get some good news.
While we are all being cheerful, can I please have some help with folk PMing me on here re any organisations, even families need a bit of help we could give Trust Tickets to, Schools are easy enough because of work but last year we had a more diverse selection, like Well Project and a couple of disability groups.
All Bluebirds
Some fabulously focused professionals on there btw

Yeah brilliant that - well done everyone.
I think that we have bottomed out a bit now and that we are on the way up on and off the field.

Such a positive step forward. Well done Barrow AFC and the schools for taking up the opportunity.
Now put on your scarves hold your dads hand and march to Holker St every home game. See you there!

A cracking morning, really well organised by Craig and the players were great with the kids, who all got a free scarf and ticket and all the autographs . A really nice touch was how the coaches from the Performance Centre were positioned all the way to the X Bar to welcome the kids. AC, Directors, Gareth, Les etc as well. Watched some of the training, which was decent. Really positive stuff. Thanks BAFC
Great to hear this, hope it continues
