sounds like a truly gritty team performance with a never say die attitude.

Perfect build up for NRC final

Which might not be a bad thing considering we are better away from home than at home this season

Great win when it was needed. Boys dug deep in 2nd half and with only one sub - Fieldhouse and Clayton both went off injured and Frank saw red. Hope we take confidence from this!

Just back from barrow, what a great advert for the championship that game was, thought fax were simply outstanding today especially in defence. In my opinion frank's sending off was ridiculous, the man hasnt got a bad bone in him and for the ref to basically say he tryed to purposely harm a fellow player is total crap, as for the ref himself what a woeful day he had, so inconstient and generally poor. Thought the fans were in great voice also really what the team needed being a man down and now hopefully this will give the lads a great boost heading to blackpool.. Well Done Fax!

Bad decision to send off Frank


Amazing gutsy performance from the guys well done everyone involved

Unbelivable performance from the boys. Not the biggest away following but they got right behind the team. Well done everybody, a great night.

just what we needed before the big one next week

At times it was easy to forget that Fax were playing a man short although I think that was assisted by what I saw to be a pretty dreadful Barrow performance, Thackeray and Harrison apart.

Don't think Fax were at their best in attack, particularly on the occasions when starting a set of six within 30m of the Barrow line and not coming away with anything. That said, the defence was mean and as I posted while at the game I think Watene's red card was a little harsh and wouldn't have caused a blink had it happened at 99% of other grounds.

Will expect Fax to be firing on all cyclinders next week to make for an absolutely cracking final.

Well done Fax.

Next you'll be telling me that photo to your left is Blackpool Tower!

A very big well done to the team what effort, what guts it really was backs to the wall stuff. So proud of you

What a top effort from the lads especially after big Frank got stupidly sent off which was totally out of charachter for him to push Broadbent into the concrete barriers (yer stuck in a time warp in Barrow its like Thrum Hall used to have).
We tackled like demons and really bust a gut, Jim Gannon put in a lung busting effort in as they all did even Blacky tcakled his heart out!
Great support outshouted the Barrow fans and urged the lads on a real backs to the wall effort.
Bring on Leigh.

old, rusty and seen better days....
