You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.207.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:02, 21 January 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Barrowfield''' is a neighbourhood of  [[Glasgow]], Scotland, close to [[Celtic Park]], home of [[Celtic F.C.]], which lies immediately to the east. It is bounded by the [[A89 road]] (Gallowgate) to the north and the [[A74 road|A74]] (London Road) to the south.

==History==
Being an area of working class housing enclosed by main roads and railway lines, Barrowfield consequently developed a distinctive character. The original 1930s council housing scheme flats<ref>[http://www.mitchelllibrary.org/virtualmitchell/index.php?a=subjects&s=item&key=SYToyOntpOjA7aToyMjE7aToxO3M6MTU6IkNvdW5jaWwgSG91c2luZyI7fQ==&pg=90 Law St (c.1950)], [[Mitchell Library|Virtual Mitchell]]</ref> (built to accommodate those cleared from Glasgow's 19th century slums in nearby areas such as [[Camlachie]]) became increasingly hard to let and were demolished in the 2000s to make way for more appealing houses.<ref name=tgs>((cite web|url=http://www.theglasgowstory.com/image/?inum=TGSA00777|title=Barrowfield Housing|website=The Glasgow Story|access-date=30 September 2017))</ref> A small section of the original tenements remain around the junction of Law Street and Overtown Street, though extensively refurbished.<ref>[https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/barrowfield-police-incident-man-rushed-17344711 Barrowfield police incident: man rushed to hospital after serious assault], Glasgow Live, 1 December 2019</ref>

In the 1950s the area changed from a working-class neighbourhood like most other areas of the city to being a place renowned for its gangs, namely "The Torch" and "The Spur" whose territory was respectively located at the north and south ends of the main thoroughfare;<ref name=most>((cite web|url=http://www.senscot.net/view_art.php?viewid=8822|title='I don't see how this area can be the most deprived in Scotland'|publisher=SenScot|date=20 October 2009|access-date=30 September 2017|archive-date=30 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170930174904/http://www.senscot.net/view_art.php?viewid=8822|url-status=dead))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/on-a-razor-s-edge-neds-portrays-70s-glasgow-in-one-light-but-what-was-it-really-like-1-1497343|title=On a razor's edge: Neds portrays 70s Glasgow in one light, but what was it really like?|publisher=The Scotsman|date=18 January 2011|access-date=30 September 2017))</ref><ref>[https://flashbak.com/watch-the-blight-a-wonderful-documentary-on-glasgows-barrowfield-gang-lands-in-1982-3339/ Watch The Blight: A Wonderful Documentary On Glasgow’s Barrowfield Gang Lands In 1982], Flashbak, 30 March 2014</ref> Each terrorised the other's patch, and the area was so violent that the fighting diminished in the 1980s only because the gang leaders realised that dealing in drugs was more profitable.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.scotsman.com/news/petrol-bomb-pensioner-shows-old-gang-hatreds-die-hard-1-1072606|title=Janey Godley: Petrol bomb pensioner shows old gang hatreds die hard|publisher=The Scotsman|date=6 January 2008|access-date=30 September 2017))</ref> Unfortunately for the community, this meant the scheme had hundreds of drug abusers from all over Glasgow coming to the area to buy their "gear".

==Sport==
A historic football stadium, [[Barrowfield Park]], was the home ground of [[Clyde F.C.]] between 1877 and 1898 prior to their move to [[Shawfield Stadium]], and also hosted matches for [[Eastern F.C.]] and Albatross. However the ground was actually in the city's [[Dalmarnock]] neighbourhood, taking its name from the historic Barrowfield rural estate which once occupied much of the surrounding area.<ref>((cite web|title=Bridgeton and Dalmarnock Historical Background|url=http://www.glasgowhistory.co.uk/Books/Bridgeton/BridgetonChapters/HistoricalBackground.htm|website=Glasgow History|access-date=26 September 2017))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.universitystory.gla.ac.uk/biography/?id=WH0106&type=P|title=John Orr of Barrowfield|publisher=[[University of Glasgow]]|access-date=30 September 2017))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.theglasgowstory.com/image/?inum=TGSA01013|title=Barrowfield House|website=The Glasgow Story|access-date=30 September 2017))</ref>

After the [[2014 Commonwealth Games]] was held in Glasgow, the Barrowfield neighbourhood has international-class sporting facilities within walking distance: the [[Commonwealth Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome]] are in nearby [[Dalmarnock]]. The ''Crownpoint Sports Complex'', a modern outdoor athletics track, is also nearby adjacent to [[St Mungo's Academy]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/sport/glasgow-club/crownpoint/pages/default.aspx|title=Glasgow Club Crownpoint Sports Complex|publisher=Glasgow Life|access-date=16 October 2017))</ref>
