An absolute pig of a place to get to and not a pleasant road to go along if memory serves correctly.

It’s a nightmare tie for us travel wise

Not great for any of the hardcore who go to every away match, but we couldn’t have hoped for much better than that on the pitch (barring Forest). 
 

Hopefully we make it through without breaking too much of a sweat before getting drawn against one of the big boys (or Forest) away and going out while having had a nice night.

Bottom of Lake District. Is a mare to get to, as you have to go up to bottom of Lake Windermere and double back. 

When I visited there was hardly anywhere in town to stay, either. Folks were really friendly, though. 

I would say it's one of the most run down towns in the country. There's also never anywhere to stay nearby because everywhere is booked up with contractors for BAE.

You're better off staying somewhere like Dalton and getting a taxi on for the match. Much nicer town, better pubs too. Ulverston isn't a bad option.

650 away allocation.

I would rather get minnows every round and get to Wemberley, Wemberley 😊

They missed a trick in not calling themselves Real Barrow imo.

Going to be an epic awayday for me. 🤣

Surely it'll be 930 as per Stockport and Mansfield in the league last season? 632 (seated) in the West Stand and 198 terraced seats in another stand.

Fantastic draw if we want to progress (as we do). And a new ground for those chosen few who get to go.

Maybe, I just had a Quick Look on away guide. I will look a bit more in-depth 🙂

[DiggerB]

Curtis doing us a solid with the draw. About as good a tie as we could’ve asked for in terms of progressing.

632 + 198 = 930 ???

You are Liz Truss (or Kwasi Kwarteng).

Yes, number 93 for me.

298 😅

Thought Preston would be a local rival. It's 90 min drive from there!

Funnily enough I went to the Barrow Vs Port Vale game last night as I'm up here in the Lakes on holiday.

They play a similar style to us, get it wide, plenty of balls in etc. Their left winger is very tidy & could cause us problems, can't remember his name but he's on loan from Everton.

Whoever recommended staying at Dalton must be on drugs, it's a terrible place, whole town is run down and looks empty. Ulverston is a canny place, lots of good boozers

[Grumpy Git]

Barrow has a 'Spoons, we're sorted. 🤣🤣🤣

[Millenniumram]

About as good a draw as we could’ve hoped for really, good stuff. We should be looking to progress to the third round where things get a bit more interesting.
