My nerves are shreaded. I wasn't nervous for the Keighley game because I was expecting to lose, there was 6 of us sitting having a pint before the game unI near silence. You would think we were going to the gallows and not DP. Not one of us was cinfudent. Oh ye of little faith eh.
It's just what 58 yrs of watching Town does to you. 
Just hoping we get a decent crowd in and make it the 14th man, I noticed there was only just over 1100 at the Keighley v Donny game. Which must have been disappointing, but it's better than 985 I suppose 
UTT. 
I think its because we had a second chance against Keighley with the nerves and expectation but this is the big one, and there will be a very big crowd as there's a buzz in the air. I even know some Haven lads coming down to watch as they want our derby back on the calendar and know how good it will be to have all 3 cumbria teams in the championship, so fair play to them even though they deny they will cheer us on lol.
UTT!

The best atmosphere at a rugby ground is Leeds and the reason is a trumpet and drums . There is nothing wrong with it If they can play them
Aye I think we are gonna have to agree to disagree on that one Silverfox. A few years ago a watched an England football match and was relatively close to the brass band, and as it was football and a full stadium I couldn't move so had to sit and suffer, it totally spoiled the game for me and they could all play their instruments.
I'm all for atmosphere, and the best I remember is at during our halcyon days of Peter Walsh's blue & white army, and during the derbies with Haven around the same time. It doesn't need someone to bang a drum a dozen times and follow it with "the Town", "Haven", "Cougars" or whatever. I'm with David M on sticking the drum sticks where the sun don't shine!

Do you know spacecake donald
I think he might know him VERY well.

Brett was awesome on his day, if he can find that form again Haven have a superb signing. But if he isn't fully committed due to his work situation then who knows? No doubt be will go full tilt in the derbies, but he's got nowt to prove to us whatever the reasons are why he turned his back on us. Good luck to the lad, except when he plays us. UTT!

I still sometimes stand with my work mate Haven fans at matches. But we have had to move away from the half way line area at the wreck as there are a very small contingent intent on throwing drink and intimidation. They lads I stand with say it isn't just saved for Town fans though. To be fair we seem to have our own handful that think they are watching football and its ok to cross the line in terms of respect. Banter and abuse are completely different things, and as always the minority spoil it for the majority.

Andy has played 45 times in the last 4 seasons for Barrow and has scored 22 times, which backs up what I said... He's good with the ball in hand, my concern (with watching that "dozen" times) was his defensive qualities..... But, again, like I said previously, hopefully Leon will fix that side of his game
Getting back to my original point..... Sorry if you feel like I'm slagging the lad, I'm not.....I welcome him with open arms, my point being if we want out of this league, you ALL would've preferred and would definately start Stefan marsh over Andy litherland, if you say otherwise you need your heads looking at... I'm a town fan, have been since the 70's, sorry for wishing big and wanting success at the club.
Fair do's, it's just typical that our new signing is greeted with negativity. It might be good to covet players, but totally pointless if they aren't signing. So how can you lament what might have been if it was never on the cards in the first place? Might it not been as well just to say nowt? I felt really underwhelmed when we signed newts, but he signed and got my support while he was here.
Andy will wear the famous unicorn on his chest and as long as he does it with pride and gives 100% he has my full support. Let's face it if he keeps his scoring rate up I'll forgive him an odd lapse in defence.

At least a dozen
4 hours ago, AndyD said:OldRake9 should I reveal your identity to the forum?
Well Andy has played a maximum of 13 games a season over the last 4 seasons with only 7 last year, and half of those will probably have been away games so more than a dozen games is an impressive number for a Town fan and a lot of watching Barrow. So I'm guessing oldrake either doesn't live in Workington or saw him as an amateur.

People have said on these forums, that to improve we need to bring in better players than we've got, we done that with Tylar, which is great but I'm afraid, in my opinion, litherland is not better than what we've got.
And you have seen him play how many times to form that opinion?

Excellent effort Scott well done
Not many numbers taken over 100 for some reason though for which I feel a bit of guilt

Stadium updates .......

We will just have to wait and see what transpires. If it is led by both clubs rather than ABC then they will make sure that they can make money out of it or it's pointless going ahead.
My only fear is that its done on the cheap and we end up with an ugly bus shelter, that is just barely fit for purpose and can't generate its own income. There's a huge opportunity to incorporate 1st class facilities that the town doesn't have, like a nice function room with outdoor space overlooking the river that could be booked out every weekend. Let's face it the trades hall, station Rd, the legion etc are all the same sort of thing.
Fingers crossed both clubs strive for something a bit special instead of making do.
