Train to Lancaster than Ulverston

Stay in Ulverston, cab to Barrow.

There are loads of pubs in Ulverston, a lot with B&B, the Stan Laurel being just one, then its about 15 minutes to the ground by cab. I believe Barrow have a decent sized bar as there are no pubs in the immediate vicinity.

Much as Eastbourne appeals as I've got family there and remember Borough when they were Langney Sports and have watched a lot of football in Eastbourne over the years I still fancy a trip to Barrow as I never went there in their league days and at least I would be certain to get a ticket. I'm buggered if I'm going to drive there though. The supporters coaches are usually a last resort but if it has to be...... It will be a real old-school diehards event too.
 

Praying for Barrow...

Keep it up W, o,b .some of these youngsters might not get the chance to see barrow let alone play there,not as if you would go on holiday to barrow, whereas eastbourne is only down the road???bring that replay forward l o l
 

Praying for Barrow...

They are playing tomorrow - cannot see Eastbourne winning this one after having to travel all that way by coach.Definite Barrow win I feel sure.

Praying for Barrow...

Official site says it will be one of our longest away journeys of the season: surely it is the longest by quite a few miles (I would have thought Morecambe was the furthest league game, isn't it?)
 

Praying for Barrow...

So what time do you think the coach will depart…. 06:00am ? 6 Hour journey get there for 13:30pm with a stop or two. Get back about 23:30pm earliest?

Be warned, I've just been on to Barrow and they giving us 500 terrace and approx 130/140 seats, (ground only holds 4256) so there might just be a scramble. They expect to hear from The FA re TV by lunchtime .

I'll be absolutely astonished (and no less pleasantly surprised) if we manage to sell that number of tickets.

I too would be very happy if it did actually happen. But can I just remind you of the first game at accy last season. There was red and white everywhere.
I for one will be one of the 'Old gits' making my way to this footballing outpost. It is after all a long time since I last visited.

You can actually get a direct train to Lancaster on Friday afternoon :sorted: £68 single :sad: No trains back of course.

Overnighter then further complicated as train back to London on Saturday so complex as to be pointless trying.

5 of us looking to book into the Travelodge opposite the ground after taking the day off on Friday, be drunk by 17.00 and fairly loud by 19.45. Or do we watch it on the box?
 

Praying for Barrow...

Friday night! I'm sorry for those who can't go due to work etc. I trust that the club will be issuing a commemorative medal for the 150 or so who make the great trek.
 

Praying for Barrow...

09.58 Barrow, 2 changes to Kings Cross, 5 hrs 23 mins :wave:

Barrow to Carnforth, Carnforth to Leeds, Leeds to Kings X? How much for that lot?

Wondering how much a cab from Barrow to Lancaster would be after? Friday night nightlife there possibly better, and return journey via Leeds would be about the same.

Anyone further south might need longer than a half day.

Got to be 6 hours by car on a Friday from London.

Just being lazy - could check it myself - it seemed cheap if it was all-in with a trip up via Euston and Lancaster on the Friday, which is a £68 single. Or does it means up via Kings X and Leeds on the Friday as well?
