Your Team: Second in the table Kettering Town

Night/Day: Day

Match: 9/10 On par with Cambridge for best away game of the season so far. A great game for a neutral but from a Kettering point of view one we should have wrapped up after the hour mark but somehow managed to make it a nervy last half hour.

Atmosphere: 7/10 Around 50 of us made the trip but most of the noise come from the Barrow lot.

Food: 9/10 The hot dogs were spot on. That good i had 2.

Drink: 7/10 Had a pint in the Social club and no complaints

Bar: 8/10 Quite a busy bar and a great view of the pitch from there.

People: 9/10 A brilliant lot. Met up with Jamie (Dog_T) who bought us a drink and exchanged plenty of banter with during the second half. All the Barrow lot i spoke to and made us feel very welcome. The stewards and Police inside the ground as well were sound as a pound.

Programme:5/10 Read it on the bus on the way home even before we left Barrow. Nothing much inside it for £2.50

Town: Did'nt go into town

Ground: 7/10 I had only seen Holker Street in the dark before now and it was a change to see it in Daylight. A nice mainstand and covered terrace down the side but both ends behind the goal let it down.

Talent: 10/10 The girl in the burger bar wearing the Purple sweater was to die for. She was stunning and doubt i will see a hotter bird at a ground this season.

Overall day: 9/10 After last years incidents i did'nt know what to expect but after yesterday my opinions on Barrow have changed for the better. All the supporters i met and spoke to made me and everyone very welcome and even though there were still plenty of little kids hanging about behind the goals i did'nt hear a peep out of them. The result capped off a great day out

Your Team: Tamworth 29/08/09

Night/Day: Day

Match: Played well first half, Barrow had the better of the 2nd

Atmosphere: 6/10 - OK me and pissface stood in amongst the Barrow fans first half which was a laugh

Food: 7/10 - Breky in spoons at 10:30am, that was it.

Drink: 8/10 - I havent drunk that much in a long time, incredibly pissed by the time i got back to Birmingham New St, that pissed i set my sights on trying to pull a big black mumma

Bar: 8/10 - Excellent the crossbar is, you can even watch the 2nd half from there

People: 10/10 - Absolutely spot on as always

Programme: N/A

Town: 8/10 - Seems alright

Ground: 7/10 - Nice side terrace and a good view

Talent: 5/10 - Very little

Overall day: 8/10 - Very good apart from the result

Night/Day: Saturday 6/3/10. A 1-0 win.

Match: 8/10. Awful game with some terrible football on a poor pitch, but we produced the one single moment of class to win the game. A tasty flick by Danny Crow finished with aplomb by debut loanee Scott Neilson. The high mark is for the result only... our first win in three months.

Atmosphere: 6/10. Quite good. The Barrovian public get behind their team. Average support from United.

Food: 4/10. Very disappointing, especially as last seasons had been so good. New caterers? I use that word loosely. Not much choice and the burger with onions was like rubber.

Drink: N/A

Bar: 7/10. Spent before and after in the Strikers bar just outside the ground. Very reasonable prices and packed with U's fans.

People: 4/10. Not as friendly as the year before, in which they were wishing us luck in our bid for promotion. This year we had a few problems leaving the ground with chavs calling us 'cheating cnuts' and 'Southern pricks' etc etc..

Programme: 4/10. The lower end of the scale for quality.

Town: 6/10. A bit like going back to the 80's but ok enough.

Ground: 6/10. I quite liked it. Not sure why... maybe because we seem to win here.

Talent: N/A.

Overall day: 7/10. Such a relief to win for the first time in what seemed like years, finely polished off with a huge Dominos pizza to munch on as we made our way back to Leeds.

We were in the opposite end to the ground as from the year before. Last year we were below the supporters bar/dressing rooms and the food from that van was superb.

Nothing?


BTW who's your #21? He's a tricky little bugger, isn't he? He's one of those players who could never succeed at Barrow as he'd get absolutely crucified for not tracking back enough, notwithstading any flair/ability he may show.
