| People concentrate on the point you get for losing but you also get an extra point for winning and drawing. If no game was won or lost by more than 12, the league positions would be the same and we'd all have 20 more points than the old 2-1-0 system.
The only teams who lose out are the teams who lose by more than 12.
What's wrong with that?  |

I think you're kidding yourself here. You make it sound like Sheffield had a deliberate plan to lose by less than 12 whereas other clubs thought, "Oh we've lost here, may as well make it a big one".
Didn't happen that way. |

I'm still waiting for one of the Barrow fans that were quick to shoot down talk of 'brown envelopes' (to coin a phrase) to come on here and tell us what the crack is. Come on chaps, you know who you are. What's the word up there?

I think you're reading things that don't exist. All I mean is Sheffield made sure they played the 80 minutes abd kept themselves in games. Therefore getting a bonus even in a losing effort.
You really do have a chip on your shoulder when it comes to people talking about Sheffield don't you?  |

I've been reading their forum on the other site, and no one seems to know whats happening, and those who claim to be in the know, won't let on.
Read a tweet this morning (think it was from Richie de la Riviere, who tweeted about a club potentially having points deducted) saying the RFL have been investigating Barrow since March, and choose to punish them the week they themselves have less credibility than Des J |

I think they will be screwed next year. If they broke the salary cap in 2010 then added Thackray, Gleeson and others it is going to be even worse next year

Au contraire. You make them sound smarter than they were.

Quite a good chance of that, though they might suggest they got rid of a few players to accommodate them? |

Why would that be ?. We had dispensation from rfl to be over the cap. If your gonna break the rules either get permission or except the consequences like we did in the challenge cup, watch you own back sunshine. |

| Quote: Gary High "In all honesty I haven't been near the place since midway through the 2010 season. I heard some pretty horrendous rumours (from pretty reliable sources- ones who haven't been wrong in the past).
In answere to your question - Go on the Barrow Official site and read the press release - It is a simple press release which has no statement from the current BoD with an explanation.
There has been absolutely zero information given to any supporters from the Bod. I feel very sorry for those who are working tirelessly to try and improve the ground etc. Any improvements that you see at Crazy Park have come out of the ar*e pockets of some very loyal supporters of Barrow.
When Barrow won the Grand Final in 2009 ( I hope legitimately) I thought the club would kick on, get a youth policy set up and make improvements to the ground or even do a Wakefield and have plans approved for a potential new stadium. None of this happened other than a group of loyal supporters paying £15 to watch the game and then very generously paying into the deevelopment fund. I got halfway through the 2010 season and thought "Bollo*cks to this, im being taken for a bit of a mug".
The current squad, although blessed with some cracking players, has to many overpaid journey men who are taking the club, its supporters and its sponsors for complete mugs. As a local lad who played for the club's Academy it pains me to say that im having no part in the current boll*cks going on down there. Its just a shame that a few of us were on these forums sticking up for the club when quite clearly (from the 6 point suspended deduction) that payments, as you say, were being passed around "irregularly" ![]()
It sounds like you've been down a similar path to myself Gary, but my beef is with the game's governors & not the club in any way at all. I totally respect the work that loads of paid & unpaid people put in at Halifax RLFC. I'm just stuffed with the game in general, with the lies, deceit & mafia that run the game. I can't see me ever falling out with Halifax RLFC or ceasing to support them in the way that you have done. I feel for you & the way you've fallen out with your club.
