According to the website Barrow have another game next Sunday against Barrow kick off at 2pm.

Does anyone have anymore details?

[Michael Ashton]

I'm sure it was reported in the Mail. Barrow Amateur Select I think but more than that I'm not sure.

[drewjak]

as far as i am aware local amature clubs have been asked to pick 5 of their best players to come to craven park and play as a team against barrow, i think its so scholfield can se what kind of players he has on his doorstep.

[Michael Ashton]

It's already been said but I wonder why Adam Nicholson didn't get any game time. That seems to me to be a lost opportunity.

On the point of Adam Nicholson maybe the coach thought didn't want to throw him in the deep end against lads who are at probly there peak, fitness and ambiton wise.I'd have waited til we play an average team , Widnes would be a good start they won't be to fired up as there saving themselves for SL.

Seems a good idea however how many will show up with it being a day after the majority of amateur clubs have played the day before???

A good opportunity!

Does anybody know whose picking the Barrow & District side for Sunday? I would expect whoever it is the respected clubs players would feature heavily, I would therefore be surprised to see anyone from Dalton playing, shame really because I would have liked to have seen Owen Wilkinson having a go against the pros, the few times I have seen this lad play he's really shone.

Also how much is it going to be to get in? surely not a tenner for what is basicly a trail game

[Mark (Ferret)]

£10.00 adults
£6.00 OAPs
£3.00 Children

[jt]

Thats a bit steep for a match like that what kind of crowd will you get for this game

[Michael Ashton]

OAPs were only £4 for Bretts testimonial match

[Barrow Phantom]

Why is it steep? The players still need paying along with the doctor and the rest of the paid people.

Go and enjoy the game for £10 before it goes back up for the NRC, CC and League games.

Richie we were all asked at dalton if we wanted to play however only 2 A teamers came forward. Why would we want to play a day after playing sat also it has been a farce nobody has got together to select a side or train together. I also won't be paying 10 to watch this game. Is it not Bretts sportsman dinner the sat nite too?

[Mark (Ferret)]

Just received the following:-

Adults/ Senior Citizens £6.00
Children £3.00

I imagine many will be like this. Anyone else see it being off due to lack of numbers???

If Schofield wants to see what he has on his doorstep then he should go and watch them play when their hearts are in it and when they have something to play for not when they are just making up a team after playing the day before and having no training time together. Don't tell me this is how they're going to put their reserves side together...flippin joke.

[Barrow Phantom]

Yes because he has plenty of time to do that, surely inviting the best to come and play is a better option is it not???

Am pretty sure he can spare an hour or so on a Saturday to watch some of the amateur teams play - it's not a big ask. After all isn't that what scouts do - go see players with their regular team? As for inviting the best, I'm with most on here that the best won't turn up due to playing the day before and they haven't trained together.

Anyone know which clubs were invited to send their best?

[scotthouston2008]

NO! Not when they've all had a game the day before! It'd be a tall enough order playing against Barrow without having had a game the day before!
I full agree with Harpic, its not only Schofied there, others could go an watch an amateur game. It's only a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon!
