It’s strange really isn’t it,in non league for all those years,desperate to get a league club in the cup, and when we did,Bristol rovers for example, it was like a big day out, with hundreds travelling, now being an EFL club, we play this level of club ,week in week out.
A bit harsh there , a lot of people have mortgages and other commitments don't forget when we played Bristol Rovers etc it was a novelty I. Think our band of away supporters are brilliant and not many teams would take fans when the costs of where we come from are taken into consideration!

Anyway back to the match, what a brilliant win ,hopefully get a favourable draw next maybe a top league 1 side at home and get it televised for more revenue!
Tricky time of year for a lot of folk, shite weather. After your travel food and beer you’re £100 quid down and a day of your weekend down too in a competition that some people don’t value anyway

Brilliant win for the lads and good prize money for the Club, Chester was subbed hopefully not injured.

Great result and a strong performance again despite some changes to the squad due to injuries or suspensions or maybe even due to the strengths of the eleven who started
when set against the challenge of a team from a higher league ? ... We have a good squad with cover for all positions ( which was our aim ) and it is paying off ... so far ...Keep up the good work guys ...We can be in the mix for the top 6 places this season at least....if we continue to work hard ... and develop.

First match : Barrow v Northampton Town : Sat. 24th Sept. 1960 ... won 1-0... ( which was nice )

Thought in what I heard of the commentary that Paul Cox’s summarising complimented AJ’s commentary very well today.👌

I,d rather listen to you Adam than some of the moans coming over the airwaves after you had finished your main broadcast .They need to admit they lost and get over it instead of constantly talking about the proposed takeover and the debt and as for Paul Simpson he is not the most joyous person to listen to.If we play badly you say so.If the opposition plays well you give them the credit.Understand why you wanted to get away.Looking forward to Mondays

Any links to the goals? They are usually on Skysports after 7pm for league games, but Cup must be different.

I listened to RC in the car on the way home - wow, that was depressing other than the last 5 minutes when they finally got to Adam’s piece with PW. I don’t usually moan about the coverage, but couldn’t they have at least played some Barrow highlights in that 55 minutes? The combination of Chris Lumsden repeating himself and the death by analysis is painful.
I hope we get a chance to hear some of it again (I was at the match so didn’t hear Adam and Paul C). Great performance once we got ahead in the second half, made them look ordinary. Please can we avoid a L2 team in the next round.
