It may Frank because Barrows pitch is a bog at best.

? I have seen a lot of our games up there and have never noticed that Tony.

I am meeting my big bro in Leigh at 10 15am as he is driving up there so will be leaving my posh apartment at 9am I am that confident.

Taking one of my grandaughters too and she can't wait for this game.

I really hope it goes ahead were leaving at 10 fromLSV

It's usually very firm and dry. Of course, we usually go up there in the middle of Summer!

pitch is superb as usual .. dont know where TV Boy gets his ideas from as the surface never bogs up and has superb drainage

I may have got it mixed up then. Sorry Barrow. We are leaving at 10am.

Never seen much wrong with the pitch at Barrow. It's Whitehaven isn't it that floods badly, especialy the bottom end? Not that we could have seen it last year in the darkness with no electricty.

Only one of them.

Was it barrow we played when we sang the dam busters song and could hardly see under that little stand. Our crowd was the 18th man that night it was brilliant we just never stopped singing.

Barrow is the worlds longest Cul-De - Sac , like a trip back in time , you can still watch the game from the Gents behind the posts , a couple of decent pubs on the way there , should be an easy win if the pitch is decent , only Liam Harrison to trouble us ,Charlie says 3points .

Think it was 2011 if it's the one I'm thinking of - won 36-30ish after being 18-0 down in the first 10 minutes?

Had a great day/evening up at Barrow in 2011(?) Came back from around 16 or 18 - 0 down early on. Couldn't see a thing 2nd half due to dodgy floodlights! Remember the game being in the balance and then Stu Donlan came charging out of the gloom at the far end towards the exultant Leythers to score! Belting match that one!

That was the one, had no voice left Hands red from all the clapping don't know how I drove home it was match you had to be there to believe what the lads did that night.

The start for us was poor & it looked like Barra would beat us convincingly but what a come back. I remember Mado getting knocked out cold & Liam Harrison running straight over to get him in the recovery position & after being unconcious for a few minutes got up & carried on playing big respect to both men


The 2nd half display by the boys was awesome playing in candle light & Donlans surging try at the end was class even if we were straining our eyes to see


One of my favourite away games that what a game

Give over, the reason you couldn't see was because of all the supping you'd done (or not)!



Definitely up there with my all time favourite away games, that one.

In all honesty after Barrow's performance against North Wales I can only see a comfortable Leigh win by about 50 points, just like we did to you about 4 seasons ago when we had Steve Deakin in charge and mad Des (Abramovich) as chairman. Looking forward to seeing a good Leigh contingent at the game.

PS If Charlie (Chaplin) wants to carry on moaning about our ground/location then I suggest he stays at home. It's a s***hole but its our s***hole.

Well yeah, that probably didn't help either





I'm sure there was highlights of that game because I remember Dave Parkys fantastic commentary for THAT try "GO! GO! GO! GO! STU GO!!" But I can't find it on youtube anywhere.



Paul Rowley has said Kurt will not be playing against Barrow as part of the deal.

Barrows my kinda town Hard & Mean the RL should have spent money in that neck of the woods instead of London ect...I predict a Centurions win by at least 20

Well I will be there of course.

My late Uncle George played for Barrow in the 30's and his wife and 2 daughters will be receiving a customary visit before the match from myself and other Leyther family members.

When I was about 4 years old we used to go up there for our hols and mam and dad loved the St Mary's club.

Charlie knows nowt he has never visited Walney Island.

Charlie Chaplin

the name is Caroli , not Cairoli , im a Napoli Caroli , and a descendant of Davy Crockett .I will be in attendance on Sunday as I very rarely miss games , and like to visit Backbarrow , as for moaning ?Clowns never moan .

.Charlie knows .

Walney Island ?I used to go hunting there

Cumbrian Polecats



trap em wi mi bare hands .

I remember us all singing something about the lights and a 100w bulb was switched on in the middle of the stand. Priceless.

Cracking away fixture and a 'proper' RL ground of character!
Can't make this one so hopefully it will be on the brilliant RL coverage on Radio Cumbria medium wave 837MW (puts Radio Manchester to shame).

Jenky , Albert Pierpoint was a Character , but I wouldn't want to meet him

There is an area just off the coast near Walney Island called Shell Wharf. It is the best spring Plaice fishing I have ever done.
