Crowd at Barrow : Mon Apr 06, 2009 8:43 pm  

Great crowd at the Barrow v Wigan game, well done.
Obviously there must have been a lot of pie eaters there but its still a huge crowd for a club that struggled to get over 1K only 2 years ago.
I always thought they could become Cumbrias No 1, hope they beat Haven on Friday.

The first Gateshead should have been Whitehaven I believe.

There were about 2000 Wigan fans at the game. What I did find very sad was the number of locals wearing Cherry & White ! I hope they change their alleigance and get their ar*es back down Craven Park. There is a shed load of photos on The Barrow Website & North West Evening Mail site.

Was a great day

Well we all know Cumbrian's have mixed up body parts compared to the normal human being so that is debatable

Wigan got 1,500 tickets are were boosted by 200-300 'Judas' local Wigan fans (shame on them !!).

However, I have already spoken to 3 local Pie fans (season ticket holders) who will now be attending Craven Park when they don't clash with Wigan matches. I've also spoken to 4 fans who hadn't been to CP for 15-20 years and are now converted again. All in all it was a great day and hopefully will be a springboard for future seasons.
