Cartmel is a nice little place, just off A590. 2 Michelin Restaurants, some good pubs. Busy on horse racing days!!

Yes certainly is, been a few times. Used to have a static caravan at Flookburgh, just down the road.

 

Be even worse if Harrogate get promoted .

 

Correct that's why I'm not one for thinking our club is a big club because we have a good ground (compared with many lower league clubs) and get very good home attendances, some very enjoyable times at many clubs who have since gone out of the league.

 

It was a complete dump remember the old toilets at the back of the Kop and the trough in the Midland road shed what would fans complaining today there is no hot water make of them !!!
May have been a dump but it sure had character

 

Remember the trough in Midland Rd shed well, and the toilets behind scoreboard on the Kop.

They certainly had 'character' 4th division grounds when I first started going to away games early 70s

 

Ye maybe Wrexham was the best of the above I quoted.

 

I remember going on the coach there as a teenager. I am presuming it was our last visit there.

 

Barrow voted out of the league in 1972 . We have some good trips when it starts again.
Tranmere, Morecambe,Carlisle and Barrow.

 

Went once with my old man to watch Guiseley back in I think 2000 ish as the old boy watched them home/away.
I seem to remember we were playing on the Sunday in those halycon premier league days, hence why I took the trip.
Finished desmond,

 

Never been in me life.

 

Last time I went to Barrow the match was cancelled after we arrived at the ground

 

I wouldnt be looking forward to this if I was you ? Have any of you ever been to "Barra"? Cos I have; to the Speedway its that long ago. And its a bloody long way !

If you wanna socially distance ? No prob in "Barra" we'll all be "Unhappy Faces" ☹ by time we've done. Holker Street home of "The Happy Faces" as the Speedway team were known.

They changed their nickname to the Bombers then became "Furness Flyers" before seeing out their final days as the "Blackhawks". But to me "Barra" means Speedway more than it ever did football ?

 

No mate the OP asked if anyone had attended the last away game at Barrow, yes I been to Barrow as well as Workington, Carlise.

 

You really are on a downer.

 

Probably get beat by Barrow. Seems a decent manager Evatt. Has a style of play and was in the running for the Blackpool job at one stage

 

If 2 have to come up who else would you prefer - Dover, Maidenhead?

 

Will it still be open after all the years ago.

 

I worked up there for 4 years. My boss was mad Barrow.

Open end and the weather is just awesome not...…………….. supposedly they have our old Midland road stand or part of it??? Maybe wrong

 

Booming place Old city man lots of money there, in the dockyard due to MOD investment.
