What's everyone's memories from Barrow Derby games?
My favourite was the early 90s when Ollie had a last minute winner at Holker St.

My first ever away game was at Barrow on Boxing Day 1988. A crowd of 2272 and a 0-0 draw. Not many Morecambe fans there as I recall and I sat with Dave Slater in the Main Stand. Belting atmosphere.
1988/89 season....... 2 defeats at Holker Street. FA Cup replay getting walloped 5-1 and then a few weeks later in the league we lost 3-1.

The very first time I ever saw crowd trouble and rival fans fighting at Christie Park.
Into the first half and Morecambe fans are congregated at the Christie Avenue end we are playing towards. A group of late arrivals enter the opposite (then open terraced school end) terrace. A shout goes up from a Morecambe fan at our Christie Avenue end - from someone who shall remain nameless but I can distinctly hear it being shouted now (not that it would have been heard on the opposite side of the ground anyway...) - "don't just stand there get 'em now yer soft b@$t@rd$" - and they did.
All hell broke loose and was over as quick as it had started thankfully but it wasn't a good sight.
We lost, 2-4.
