Barrow play host to Oxford United at Holker Street on Friday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the 4 previous meetings, 2 have been drawn, and 2 won by the Bluebirds.
The last time the two teams met at Barrow was way back in the black-and-white days of March 1968, with Barrow running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Third Division match.
