Would rather have drawn South Barnsley rather than North Barnsley but hey ho.

Just have to shut them up first 😃.

I like the North/South divide in these early rounds, better chance of a game that I can actually make on the train, bigger crowd etc.
 



Father in law is a fan. Technically a Man United fan first and foremost but has latched onto '"Barrafootball" (as the locals call it) since they've gotten into the league. His company sponsored a match recently and he got a signed shirt after it, which we brought back to Sheffield to get framed for them.

Barrow is an absolute shithole but I've had a couple of days out at Barrafootball and thoroughly enjoyed them. The pies and sausage rolls are excellent. They have an 'ultras' group of sorts behind one of the goals but overall they're an extremely quiet bunch which I found quite peculiar first time I went. It's like they've got into the football league and they're not quite sure what to do now they're there.

Also, the tunes they play over the tannoy are utterly fucking bizarre. I'm talking happy hardcore, doof doof doof, blasted out of a chavvy boy racer's souped-up Corsa sort of thing. It's proper weird and totally bemusing.
Well they returned to the league. Good for it. Want to see Workington back. Too many toss head southern teams like Bromley. Would really like to see Gateshead back.

I had a couple of mates who were in a club band in the 1990's and occasionally, I'd run the mixing desk for them. I went with them to both Barrow and Cockermouth. Jesus F Christ! They were good at what they did, not my cup of tea, soul and upbeat shit with a lass singing, but they were tight and knew their stuff. At Barrow, the club secretary paid them up at the interval, said don't bother with the second half. It was like playing to a room full of corpses. But weird corpses, much weirder than normal corpses, if you get what I mean.
 



Kids prices what they should be, instead of £20+ for league games at the Lane
