I've only managed to get to the two games at Barnes this season. It is easier to get to than PL for me but I was surprised how run down it is. To my mind we didn't do the basics well for the first 50 minutes. Short drop outs no where near our players, allowing a kick off to bouncr out of play etc etc. We clearly had more pace and power and when we channelled it in the last half hour it was a different game. It struck me our last tackle kicking often resulted in a 20m restart. We would have been better off not kicking and always running on the last to avoid the seven tackle set. But we won and if we get a home draw in the 1895 we have got a chance of Wembley
Having experienced the main stand last time around I thought I’d take a look at the lean to covered area opposite. Genuine xxxx hole. As with the main stand it benefits from an asbestos roof. However due to the many holes in the walls there is adequate ventilation. The seating though was a little special. I can’t really describe it - has to be seen to be believed. Then there was the weeds growing through the walls. They must have spent literally zero minutes sprucing up the place. How it got a health and safety I can only guess. All that to one side I quite enjoyed it though and we won.
