Barrow

Always remember a story of a Bes trip there with 300 Bees in the stand and 2000 Furness skinheads behind the goal

Barrow

2,000 skinheads behind one goal and 300 bees supporters? That leaves just over 300 people in all other parts of the ground without shaved heads. In 1972!

:scratch:

Oh I see! No sorry, I'm not having that. They are, and always will be, FLD to me. They can't just change their name every five minutes. ;)

That would have been in the early 70's.

Great numbers when you think it probably took about 10 hours to get there.

I actually read ‘Dean Smith’s Aston Villa’ in the paper this week. Seemed more official than when SSN say it.....

Surely they are John Terry's Aston Villa?

Was that a Tuesday night game in 1971. Believe we beat Hartlepool 6 0 just before that

I remember we played them very early 70’s before they dropped out of the league and remember the 4-0 win.

Iirc we won 4-0 then 5-1 then 6-0 early on that season. Peterborough and Northampton being the other 2 sides. I'm sure Rebus will probably tell me I'm wrong though!

I think it may have been 1971-2 when we beat Barrow 4-0 at home on Monday then beat Hartlep0ol 6-0 on the Saturday. Two weeks later we beat Peterborough 5-1 also in a home Saturday fixture. The Saturday match in the middle we lost 3-1 away to Grimsby.

I’m sure I remember spanking Hartlepool by 6 and wouldn’t bet on it without checking but think that was the perfect hat trick game from Big John

I definitely remember beating Barrow 4-0 but was on a Saturday around 71-72. I remember it because I was at St. Mary's college at the time and a good mate of mine there came with me because his brother was playing for them. Mick Hollis (ex Leicester) was his name , check the line-ups)

Checking on Internet Soccer database, Mon 30 Aug 1971 - the game I mentioned above - was the only time we beat Barrow 4-0 at home.

Yes you're right but I seem to remember it being an afternoon ko and a nice late summers day which it probably was as it was Bank Holiday.

Think that might have been Blackburn the following season. Included the best own goal I've ever seen!
 

Barrow

I went to that game, if memory serves, we won 3-0, I think Stewart Houston got one of the goals. Possibly Barrow’s last home game in FL.
We were promoted, however the following and last game of the season (?) we had to go all the way back up to Workington. Train to Carlisle and coach to Workington. Lost 3-0
