Looking round craven park today looks like you could have got at least 2000 more people in side the ground.Its as shame barrow didnt give thier spectaters a half price voucher for the next game if 500 people took the offer up they would ern an extra £3500 approx in this day and age you got to speculate to acculmalate.
ino, that would of been a great idea, think will get 200 returning any way, and all the football (afc ) fans will come along as thier goin down this year,
and exits are the main problem

But yes we all enjoyed ourselves.
Thanks Rogues for clearing this up. It happened just in front of me, I was stood next to two elderly barrow fans who were absolutely gutted. I lipread the liner saying knock on and I couldn't get my own head around it as the ball hadn't hit the deck. It was like a fumble between a couple of players, none of which looked like they had gone forward. But it was facing me, so couldn't really see.

Does anyone remember what was mentioned before the match about the Barrow Chairman, I thought that the number 22 was brought out and introduced as the barrow chairman. Once I read the programme I realised that this wasn't the case, but am baffled as to what the announcer actually said.

Yeah Behind the sticks at the end Wigan defended first half you could have easily got another 1,000 in, loads of room, but the sideline stand was packed and there was no way to dictate where each person had to stand with it being an open ground like Central Park was. Shame. It would have crushed in the corners. The corner at the end I was, was pretty jammed.
