Hope we play Barrow. Chesterfield fans will be loving their day out as will Morecambe. The beauty of the cup.
Ipswich tricky plus Chaplin to come back and torment us. Barrow should be a win for us but you never know. Just glad we didn’t get an unwinnable away draw
I think Barrow beat us once in the 1960s,could be wrong, usually am. Anyway, it's nice to play a team in a lower division, almost the romance of the cup.
Told you so, unreliable memory of old Barnsley games, I seem to remember being beaten by most teams, growing up.
That 3-2 home defeat was on opening day after going the whole of the previous season unbeaten at home, on the way to promotion from the Fourth Division. I was there and it was a big let down on a hot August afternoon.
Not then though. We had a great home campaign the year before (17-6-0) so we all thought “it’s only Barrow”, but how wrong we were. They were a pretty decent side then and deserved their win.
RE teacher was a Barrow fan. Absolute hot head with steam coming out of his ears most days. My abiding memory, he once launched a chair across the room towards a pupil in a fit of rage. Nothing was done lol
Barra away was my first away game in late 60's, we won 1-0, first time I saw Eddie Loyden play, was so exited, next time I went there we drew 1-1...happy days, wish it was away at Barra...Holker St not really changed since the 60's.....
Bit earlier for me, started going to away games a lot maybe 2000/01 until '05. First season me and two mates really committed we were dreadful away from home, to the point where a 0-0 at Norwich felt like gaining promotion. (Obviously Norwich were bang average at the time).
