League Cup

V Barrow at Pride Park. Winnable

Trip uppable, but it's a new team for the younguns, who don't remember Barrow's former glory years in the league. Sorry, year. Well, 1966-67.

Quiz question for rA: they have a bee on their crest, and the team name begins with B. So what do you think their nickname is?

Appears to be an ex bee though, it’s been shot...and there’s also a submarine, so I’d guess...logically...’Bluebirds’.

Even you and I don’t remember Barrow’s ‘glory years’. Did they have any?

[Geoff Parkstone]

Promotion from 4th to 3rd in '66, then one season up and back to gloom again. I can clearly remember wanting to be able to vote for their demotion, but couldn't.

We have never lost to them.

Yet

It depends on how you define glory, ramAnag. First game of 68-69 season Barnsley 2 Barrow 3. I distinctly remember they were formidable opposition. That was their glory year.

With respect...I suspect ‘glory’ has never been defined as...beating Barnsley.

I felt sorrry for them. The following season they were drawn at home to Derby in the FA Cup third round. They'd been wanting a plum draw against Forest.

Winnable? Wasn't he our ex-striker who once apeared on Bill and Ben?
