I wonder how much Captain Cripple is getting for this freak show?

As much alcohol as he can consume, an Uber home and a free season ticket for next season (with suggested donation……)

Barrow FC have moved their first team training operations to Curzon Ashton ahead of next season...

I could be wrong, but as far as I was aware, they still trained at pallet park?

If so, is this another loss of income for them?

Must be a desolate place Barrow if they can’t find a couple of local pitches ffs!
200 mile round trip.

It's probably more likely the players are based around here so it's saving a 200 mile trip for each training session?

A strange carry on which ever way.

Yeah they were struggling to get players willing to join them and move up there / commute so have based themselves in Manchester for years now.

Barrow - biggest cul-de-sac in Britain.

Kingston upon Hull runs it a close second.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

A blot on the Manchester horizon - nuke the fuckers and be done !

Absolute cunts - all and sundry.

Will stick up for Hull.

About 4/5 cracking pubs in the Old Town.
Excellent Arena, great acoustics.
Some smart smaller towns nearby e.g. Beverley, Cottingham.

Barrow is dismal though, but close to the Lakes and great countryside...

It was merely the cul-de-sac quote I was replying to, had some great nights in The Land of Green Ginger!

Yep I’ve even seen the Carlisle Utd team coach driving about Manchester several times, apparently for similar reasons

I worked there for 6 weeks in 1991. It’s was a hovel then so Christ knows what it is like now.
