    And this one by a Scottish vlogger- have a look at his review at the end, I’m glad I don’t have to eat in the Warwick: https://youtu.be/df4i3OGOY7Y

    As an outsider looking in I'm surprised that the Barrow derby is so big,I know that there's a rivalry obviously because of the distance between the clubs but was shocked by the size of the police presence for a Tuesday night game,I know that it wasn't at last night's game but that firework was bloody massive!

    A 40 minute wait for a pasty and missing two goals ain't on,how could the club have misjudged the queue for food at half time with 9000 in attendance? I noted that one of the pasties that nobody wanted was cheese,to bloody right,change them for steak or chicken

    That's Cumbria Police for you, I personally haven't seen Police Horses at a game since we played Newcastle in a friendly years ago, infact I'm almost certain there wasn't any at the corresponding fixture last season.
    I suppose the 'Derby' thing is a bit of a novelty here in Carlisle as well, we haven't had anything remotely called a 'Derby' since The Reds 'Workington' lost their league status years ago. And even when we did play Barrow (which was in the sixties) it was never classed as a Derby, because Barrow was in Lancashire!
    All good fun though, especially when you absolutely murder them 5-1

    As I keep saying, from April Barrow won\t be in Cumbria, yesterday was the LAST derby.
