Lets hope the Barrow fans all stand in the Popular side so we can have bit of singing banter with them

[morty]

long time since ive been to Derwent park ...where is the best place to park up (main car park outside the main stand ?) and the popular side backs onto Tesco superstore yeah ?

[GeordieTownie]

Yes that's right, any idea how many Barrow Supporters will be making the trip?

[Baaarrow]

Three supporters buses full already plus hundreds traveling by car!

[GeordieTownie]

Hundreds? So you'll have over 350?

Must be a hell of a size car to fit hundreds in it! Safe journey guys and bring the points home.

Its looking like it as the club are running 4 coaches & apparently a few private (pub buses) are going also, lots will go by car so there could be 400/500 coming up

Morty not sure what the craic is on a sunday but tescos were fining people for parking on their car park when going to matches.Best to go onto the ground carpark or down on the harbour side.

Those sort of numbers would be fantastic Mick, but excuse usTownies for being a bit sceptical. I've been watching Town v barrow games at DP for nearly 50yrs and I can honestly say I can't remember you bringing more than a handfull of fans.
I hope Cumbria County Council have been putting up extra direction signs so you lot don't get lost.

Hope you do fetch a large support, I'm sure you'lll all get a warm West Cumbrian Welcome from us all.

PS... please don't do an haven on us and claim you brought a thousand when the real figure was about 300.

I was there when Town played Barrow under Paul Crarey and there was a load of Barrow fans there that today loads of them in the enclosure and grandstand. There a well supported away team, really looking forward to sunday!!

Bloody hell Gilly, I must have missed that one

I think Barrow fans tend to travel when there in with a shot of winning something, other than that they don't leave there own doorstep.

I can confirm that there are at least 5 (52 seater) coaches travelling on Sunday plus a handful of mini buses I believe. Many (like myself) will be travelling by car so I would guess the Barrow following will be a minimum of 500 (maybe slightly more than that).

[DavidM]

I hope we get those turnstiles well oiled for the first time since 1962

[GeordieTownie]

1962?

[Cato89]

I think DavidM is taking the piddle ,geordie!

[DavidM]

I've just had official word.. It was 1953 in celebration of the coronation.

Only time will tell Keith If you do fetch 500 I'll be the first one on here to congratulate you, we have'nt seen that sort of away support since our Super league days, apart from maybe the Leeds cup game several years ago.
Oh by the way.....make sure you do a left when you get to the end of Furness Rd, we don't want you all finishing up in Skipton
