Travel…
To drive from Bristol to Barrow A.F.C.’s SO Legal Stadium, begin by joining the M5 northbound from Bristol, following signs for Birmingham and the North West. Continue on the M5 until it merges with the M6 near Birmingham, then stay on the M6 heading north towards Preston and Carlisle. After passing Preston, take Junction 36 to join the A590, signposted for Barrow-in-Furness.
Follow the A590 west for around 30 miles, continuing straight as it becomes a dual carriageway and then a single carriageway closer to Barrow. As you approach the town, follow signs for the town centre and Holker Street. SO Legal Stadium is located on Holker Street.
Opposition…
Plenty has changed at Barrow since the start of January. When the two teams had first been scheduled to meet at the SO Legal Stadium, Paul Gallagher was in position for his first game as the Bluebirds Head Coach, with Andy Wing departing from the club after a run of six fixtures without a victory.
Nevertheless, Gallagher’s tenure was short. The 41-year-old departed after losing all five fixtures, with Dino Maamria coming in. He had an immediate impact, with Barrow beating promotion hopefuls Colchester United in his first game in charge, but then lost three on the bounce before drawing with Cheltenham.
However, they will take some positives from the fact that all of their losses came by just one goal, with Maamria making the Bluebirds hard to beat. Barrow are above the relegation zone on goal difference, but have played two fewer matches than Newport County in the position below.
Playing in Sky Bet League Two for the sixth straight season, Barrow’s fans will be hoping that Maamria can lead the team up the table and above their 21st-place finish last term.
