Poor forward planning but inevitable, especially after Boxing Day.

Not that bothered. Would have been an issue when we had the roof but we don't.

I'm with colty on this one, from the popular side we will drown out the 30 or so 6 fingered friends who make the trip to north Lancashire.

Agree, back in the days of the roof it would have been a shit decision. But I couldn't personally give a toss if away fans are given the most open area of the ground to face the elements. Any noise made there just gets carried away, much louder from the pop side.

The only reason this is a problem is because they moved them from the west terrace in the first place

30 fans on the Holker street end I hope it rains and badly.

No surprise a more permanent solution wont be found before NYD, because no doubt they've only just looked at it last week. We've had the fixtures in since early August. I don't see why they cant go in the Xbar end more than enough for their minibus.

+1

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why they can't go on the West Terrace and up to the tunnell. We don't need to search for a more permanent solution, there already is one.

Why should we shift when the usual corner of holker st where barely 10 people stand is good enough :sentoff:
It's also crap that barrow fans can't stand down their cos can't see them bringing a lot they never do.

It's nothing at all to do with HOW many stand on the HSE, it's the fact that Barrow supporters DO & it is our traditional "home end" & to give it away to a potential thirty Wukkie fans is just wrong.

Partly down to us (GMA volunteers) not getting the segregation fence sorted but time just ran away with us but this should never have happened.

The West terrace would have easily been accepatable for the away support on NY day, more down to the police I think than the club but a massive over reaction again!

We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Ian, I think the words you were looking for are "Special Fodder", scattered at halftime!
