A tad out of the way in Cumbria.

I went there to see the advertised funfair on Walney Island about 15 years ago. It had been closed down for5 years when I got there.

Things don't move too fast since the shipyard went.

On the other hand, you can buy 4 houses for £100k.

You see that it takes you an hour up the M6 to the junction off to Barrow and think ..
oh an hour and a half to Barrow ....
That stretch from the M6 to Barrow takes double the Motorway time :-(

They like their Karaoke in Barrow. (are you a Luton fan travelling up for the match?)

try Cross Keys, Theatre Hotel, Railway for pubs. I heard there is a nightclub on a boat down by the docks.

My mate is a Luton fan, and his birthday so I decided to go for the hell of it. Theres 13 lads going, sounds like a bit of a nightmare for getting in places! I shall report back sunday night or monday with my findings, if I havnt been murdered and buried in the mud flats by some angry locals.

Actually the night-life is brill.All drinks are free and there's as much sex as you can handle.I know this is true because my wife was there a few weeks ago and she never lies to me.
Report billy hill • February 5, 2010 5:52 PM GMT
Perhaps avoid the Railway before the match then. Apparently there was a bit of a stand off when we went in the league this season, one lad got put in the cells for the duration of the match and let out with a warning afterwards. 800 mile round trip for nothing.

If you are staying at the travelodge by the ground there is an ASDA nearby for booze, and a dominos pizza right next to the travelodge too.

The Cul-de-sac is a dump, be mindful of the local nutters. Most of the 'lads' are full of roids and play rugby league, they are thick and VERY distrustful of foreigners, ie anyone not from Barrow. Many of the pubs will be liike going into the slaughterd lamb out of 'American werewolf in London'

On the upside drink is cheap and the local woman will be in impressed by your foreign accent
