For the players who won't be here next season quite a few will know Let’s have one more committed performance and see what happens, don't have a clue what team Pete starts with hopefully a side to take the game to Mansfield and I know that's not his tactics, and for the contracted players this is your last chance to clinch a playoff place and who knows what can happen.

Surely he HAS to take the game to them, if we do what we’ve been doing for most of the games since Christmas we can kiss goodbye to the POs. If that style of football didn’t earn us points against the likes of FGR so it’s definitely not going to work on Saturday.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Only 11 tickets left in the BA stand, and the Evalast stand has sold more than most weeks.

Mansfield fans have been on Facebook - Barrow AFC thread - claiming many are coming in numbers without tickets. When I bought mine I noticed the club have stated that any away fans buying tickets for home territory will have their tickets cancelled and will not receive a refund.

They're obviously going to pay on the day. Which begs the question: How will the ticket office staff know they're Mansfield fans if they're not wearing colours? Mansfield accent? Is it prominent? They could say that they're a neutral from that part of the country.

I can do a Scouse and a Cockney accent :D - I'm sure others can too.

No.doubt if they do get into the home areas they will eventually make their presence known especially if Mansfield manage to score the first goal.When this happens the large police presence which will undoubtedly be there will be able to move in with the stewards and throw them out,plus I can,t imagine many Barrow supporters just standing around and letting it happen.I think the police will also be at the station and will coral their fans as soon as they get off the train and the same will happen with the buses.

Living about 25 miles west of Mansfield, I can definitely say they have a strong accent and that it is nothing like Barrovian. If anyone calls you “duck”, look out for the yellow and blue scarf!

Don't think there's any way stewards or police will throw them out once they're in.

They can stand next to me if they behave themselves. Not a problem with it.

11 is fewer than 30. Now showing 20. Could be people returning tickets or maybe the computer system was made by Horizon! ;)

Perhaps some season ticket holders cannot attend and have contacted the club so they can be sold.

There is a possibility that the sudden availability increase is down to Ticket Office detective work in identifying Mansfield supporters, cancelling the tickets and returning them to the availability matrix for purchase by home supporters.
