My first time at BP since all the work done to the ground. 1800 fans, great atmosphere, fan zone sunny and full, really nice. Good team performance, lots to look forward to with this team i think. Couple more in just for depth maybe? UTB!

[@davidmarshall5596]

Team.is obviously work in progress, hopefully it will all come together quickly & get a good start to the season 😊🎉

[@daviddennison1975]

As much as I want to support the club in its new ventures I am struggling to see why you should pay for CUTV if an interview like this is going to be released on here. On a more positive note good game, well done and lets hope for a good season.

[@lakedistricttrekkers230]

Totally agree it completely defeats the object. Same with player interviews etc

[@JohnJohnson-vd2hp]

It could be worse , i heard Greg Abbott was thinking about starting an only fans channel 🤣

[@poskett]

A much improved performance. Wing backs looked good and every ball into Wyke stuck. The team looked decent with pace up top. Need more than one player with pace, mind. Midfield as painfully slow as last season and needs additions with pace and creativity asap.

[@johnburgess6003]

Got to start Butterworth he's our best player by a long long way

[@ezza-and-friends]

Be gone after barrow game

[@olgathefox6276]

Please don't get excited about a very narrow win against Stockport reserves, desperately in need of wingers and creativity.

[@poskett]

Simmo clearly hates wingers & why sign creative players when he can simply stick Mells into midfield....

[@poskett]

Simmo has brought in ONE person with pace(!!!) - when everyone has said that was a priority after the awful season in the league above. Simmo clearly hates wingers. Simmo ain't gonna last long. The window has been another disaster. The sooner he goes the sooner we can move on. Tom P your 'mate' is ruining all your hard work.
