Seriously, all at the club know the lights are rubbish, but as owners of the ground the club would have to foot the bill to replace them. I believe funding is being sourced through grants etc, but the final bill will be £200,000. That kind of money buys A LOT of players. The lighting was only ever going to be an issue for the first couple of home games and won't be an issue from now on. Hopefully the new lights will be installed for 2010 and hopefully you Fax fans will be able to see the difference (if we stay up that is).
The reason all home games are at 6
Left me a bit peeved seeing that Holker Street seemed to have proper Floodlight Rigs, as opposed to something that resembled a set of large Desklamps with 40 Watt bulbs in.
Any Football ground up for demolition soon where some could be brought from?
Decent crowd last night (didnt hear it announced though) and thought Fax took a good number, probably boosted by the fact we beat Widnes the other week which may have encouraged some people who might have no bothered to go.

Barrow football are also looking at floodlight replacement.
It's funny how the fans expectations change over the years. Our lights have always been the same (probably brighter now than ever), but no-one really complained until recent seasons.
I know the club enquired about the old Hilton Park lights and Leigh offered them for free, but the dismantling, transport and re-assembly costs meant that there was no difference from buying new ones.

Not having a dig, but why not have 3pm Kickoffs until after the clocks have gone forward then ? Not Rocket Science is it really ??

I seriously hope you are taking the urine with that bit mate, if Barrow don't make top 6 (and you come and pick me up and take me home again) I'll streak at your last home game (assuming it doesn't clash with ours)  |

Are you claiming all you are entitled to? www.debtadvicenetwork.org then go to "Self Help" then "Benefits & Entitlements".:3664.gif |

Pity the same can't be said of a Barrow fan. They have a green glow

Make sure you're wearing a condom, the bulb on the end might light the way for you.

Re: The Flood Lights
Lets be glad they lasted the duration of the game, when Barrow played Blackpool last season wasn't the game abandoned and stadium evacuated after a fire in the fusebox room?

I agree with every thing said about the lights but surely the ref should have done something about the players kit. It was extremely difficult to distinquish players/team in certain areas on the field and having seen photos in the Courier I could not not believe it as whilst Barrow were in all blue their shorts and socks were dark blue. The ref could not do anything about the lights but surely he could see how similar kits we were each playing in. Why not at least get one team to change to white shorts. We might have had a better chance of seeing what turned out to be a great contest.
I think the rugby league need to get a message to refs to ensure spectators and in fact players are able to make out who is who.
