Leaving at 6am is horrible in any case, But when your ill as well it makes it really bad. Well after struggling through being freezing cold and coughing most of the way we made it to a very warm Barrow.
Straight to the bar, Where i met up with 2 of the Ultras Barrovia. Quick drink and off to the game. I enter the ground, Another ground where I have managed to get away with it as a child, This time it was as an under 15. Straight away to see its non segregated. Didn't seem that bad at first.
As the teams come out the Ultras Barrovia put on a display designed to poke fun at Crawley's manager. I found it amsuing as did others around me. Everyone has their own view on Crawley's manager.
Crawley played the first half very well, Can't comment much on the first goal as I was getting a drink and I only saw the ball hit the back of the net. 1-0 Jamie Cook.
Second goal I was again unlucky, As I had nipped to the toilet as I come out Cookie is running up to the ball to take a penalty. Good finish and were 2-0 up.
Barrow AFC 0-2 Crawley Town
Second half starts, and were behind the goal in the mix with the Barrow fans. Barrow scored very quickly after the whistle went due to Crawley looking like they had changed the way they were going to play. Second goal came not to long after, Again due to Crawley not playing anywhere near as well as the first half.
With this I get quite annoyed so decide to sit down in the sun and watch the game. Crawley slowly come back into the game. While on an attack I decide to stand up, As I then look over again Rankin is just hitting the ball in the net, And I miss the cross. Guess it was my day for great build up's then !!!
As this goal goes in the becomes very uncomfortable in the end we are, With Racism directed at our goalscorer.
As the game goes on Barrow start to power back into the game and the crowd gets behind them. 4 minutes of injury time go up. 2 minutes into this Barrow break forward and do what we all thought would happen. Barrow score, Another tap in for the Barrow team and the ground erupts.
Barrow AFC 3-3 Crawley Town
90% of Barrow fans were a pleasure to meet, But plenty of people in the Barrow element who don't belong at football. Throughout the game abusing the women followers of Crawley, and verbally abusing others. While plenty of others weren't to happy on us having the freedom of the ground. Oh well.
As for the night, Off to Morecambe we went. Back on the coach to the hotel. Quick stop in the room of getting freshened up and putting on some smart clothes and were off out again. Group of 7 done the rounds of a few pubs and found a brilliant little pub to drink in. Cheap beer, Lovely heated beer garden and the local for a girl with the BIGGEST BOOBS I have ever seen. Lots of beer later its back to the hotel for more.
Couple more drinks and a chat, and its bed time.
Sunday
Sunday begins early, As were all up for breakfast at 8.30. Not the greatest of food but it was still something to start the day. Packed up our clothes and back on the coach for 9.30 and the journey home. Quite a nice journey, Mixed with sleep and games.
After a stop at the services we had a couple of hours to travel home. This was full of talk about the ever annoying malcolm's sex life. Oh the fun.
Great weekend.
