great result against Leigh,looking for a much closer game against Barrow,i am glad to be back for this one ,although we did the hard part at Craven Park.Barrow only just scraped victory at Leigh,going 30-16 sorry Barrow no bonus point.

as a barrow fan at the start of the seoson this would of been a dream, and at times it still is,
des has done good things , and the way we have been playing has been poor, but it is not doing the club many favours airing views like that,

score fax 22 barrow 24 (or 24-22)

loudest fans THE raiders

Fax 46 Barra 22.

Quick thought, which kit will Barrow be playing in? Home or Away? I seem to recall at their place there was a kit clash and it was hard to distinguish who was who at times. Although if I remember correctly, that was mainly due to the lack of candle power in their floodlights.

very close game won by a drop goal,

we could be too light in the forwards if james has a broken wrist and said as been ill in bed all week

and possibly missing smith too.

Cocky lot aren't hey? Hope we smash em!!!!

They was not been cocky a few years ago when they was only a few hundred of them on a good day.

At least our cockyness as been earned through hard work at our club, not because some big money, big mouth chairman as bank rolled us to the top. Why doesnt mr Big mouth, mega bucks pay for some new food lights? Not seeing the game is bad enough but going to the tollet in the pitch black must be a health and safety issue.

I think we've come off the subject here. My prediction is Fax 18 Barrow 26.
Barrow might show Fax why their top of the league!!!

I was basing the att on 4 x 52 seat buses and 50 cars at an average of 3 per car. which gives us an away following of 358.
We had 2100 at home against Leigh and they brought a fair few. I hope your right and we see 3k there on sunday.

I would expect that the ref can over rule on the kit situation on the day of the game. Its happened in SL a couple of times this season. But at your place it was a joke.

The kit Barrow played in in the NRC at the Shay was gine (dark blue mainly) cant see it clashing with ours.

Des doesn't put as much money as people think into the club and certainly wouldn't be in a position to splash out the £200,000 required for the floodlights. Even if he offered, the I'd rather he spent the money on a decent team than have a cr@p team and good floodlights.

As for the bollox about 'earned through hard work', what do you think it has taken to get a club from NL2 mediocrity to top of the Championship? Des got involved in the club in 2006, so it's hardly been overnight success.

Again regarding Craven Park, the club could sell up and go into a council owned stadium (indeed one was planned for the new marina complex), but that would mean selling a massive asset. You only have to look at the recent history of Fax, Widnes, Oldham, Donny etc etc to see what happens to finances when you go into a groundshare or council/commitee-owned facility.

Anyway, despite most Fax fans on this forum seem to have absolutely no respect for our club or what we have achieved so far (we obviously don't deserve it), I am looking forward to Sunday's. game I just hope ref Hewer doesn't have too much bearing on the match.
