Comments :

There was a good atmosphere in the 798 crowd which included about one hundred and fifty travellers from Barrow who enjoyed the recent removal for the “United“ from Hyde’s name with chants of “you sold your history”. The staff and stewards that I met in the ground were pleasant and friendly, with no “jobsworths” encountered. The superior pitch that appears to be a legacy of the City connection ensured some quality football from Hyde who probably should have shaded the game, particularly after beating Danny Hurst in the Barrow goal only to be denied by the crossbar. Barrow took up the mantle of positive passing in the last fifteen minutes but without the killer blow to kill the game off. The 0-0 result was probably fair ending but all in all an enjoyable visit.
