No

Nice try...Pints

Their stadium has some scaffolding holding something up so the capacity will be reduced to about 5500

Just what we need even more demand for tickets.

Barrow used to be a pain in the ar5e to get to though. Not so much any more, however. I remember going in the 1986/87 season and it seemed to take hours, because it was all narrow country roads.

But they've built several roads that bypass the small villages, so whilst you still have to go through Newby Bridge and Ulverston, the rest of the way is fairly straightforward with plenty dual carriageways.

Hopefully with what might be a larger demand for tickets than we may get from Barrow the club will do something sensible like make sure that the season ticket holders who have been to x amount of away games get the chance of tickets first.

Or is that a little too sensible for us?

I doubt it. I have said they should introduce a loyalty points system like they have in football but probably pointless to have one as apart from finals and one-offs you will more than likely get a ticket regardless.

I don't think there will be a big problem with the allocation but we shall see.

When we were playing in the band (group) Ulverston was one of our favourite venues.

The owner of one of the clubs we used to play at owned a bakery in Ulverston so he use to take us back there at the end of the night and give us fresh cakes.

Beautiful.

Was that the Old Ragtime Band You Were in?

Who Baked the Cakes? Was it King Alfred???

Couldn't resist!

bog off.

Ever seen 'Brassed Off' ?? 30 years previous to that

I've not been out round Ulverston, but my dad tells me that on Friday and Saturday nights all the farmers come into town from the hills and cause a load of barneys.

There's a list of people banned from the town's pubs under the pubwatch scheme in all the pubs, and they all had the same surname! To think we call Leigh...

I played at Ulverston last year and it's abit wierd.

There was chickens walking around inside the changing rooms. Seriously.

Ulverston is a great place to visit and for a night out - some very good pubs.

I had to laugh at the bollox about Farmers 'coming down from the hills' and chickens in the changing rooms.

Priceless

Seriously.

There was 3 or 4 chickens in our changing rooms.

However many Wigan fans go, it will be a day Barrow fans/club won't soon forget and do their coffers no harm at all.

Its what the cup is about.

....as long as the bar is decent enough to cope with demand!

Im sure they will take steps to ensure the hole is well watered!

You talking team mates or poultry !??!



Seriously, it should be a great day - a real carnival atmosphere. We're all hoping Zeb Luisi and Ned Catic arrive from overseas in time. We've been waiting 3 months for them so-far. Bl00dy red tape !



We should have had 3 Fijian World Cup players as well - they all signed 2 year contracts. After 3 months of wading through red tape and money being paid out by the club for sponsor certificates, the UK Border Agency informed the club last week that they need to have English Degrees!!!!!

If thats the case they would have to deport half the people in Bolton and Manchester














And i am not being recast i am on about the white folk

Well I don't have one.

Which way to the airport ????

Why English degrees? Does that mean we're going to stop Americans coming over if they've got degrees from Harvard? Or French from the Sorbonne?

I want to know, me, why they have a lighthouse on top of one of the mountains, particularly when Ulverston is not THAT close to the sea?
