Quote: J20 "Is he putting money into the game though? If he was spending to build up Barrows ground to help them run themselves more and also investing in a youth set up in a region crying out for one I'd applaud him but all he is doing is lining the pockets of say 20 individuals, great forEauders fans no doubt but not a long term measure or heling the game in any way IMHO.'"
I'd say he's done more than that... He's raised the profile of Barrow and RL in Cumbria by funding them to a League Leaders shield and a Grand Final trophy.
People are now talking about them and they are being mentioned as contenders certainly for a 2015 licence.
He does come across as a complete pillock though. And whilst none of us where present when any of his alleged antics took place there is more than a pattern forming when it comes to his behaviour.
In contrast... can any of us name the Featherstone chairman without looking it up on the internet?
