I started this post as a little light hearted banter. Yes some grounds are bad but that's not the fault of the supporters. Barrow is poor but it's a great day out. Wetherspoons up the road a night in the lakes. I wish all the traditional clubs well, I would much rather them than teams who (in my humble opinion) offer nothing to our game.
Seconds out griffs about.

Jeez - apologies for thinking there's more to running a club than just winning games.  |

I said it has been a while and last time I was at Barrow around 4 or 5 years ago the toilets were poor and the lights were not up to standard and the ground was old and for me needed to be upgraded. Maybe somethings have changed but it doesnt seem like it. We are nearly in 2013 and for me stadiums at this level should have proper toilets that are not broken or dated. The lights should be good so that we can see whats going on properly and not guess in the dark! The Shay is by no means perfect but it is a decent stadium which the club has helped to update as well as the soccer lot and council. Its not been easy though. Barrow had a money man who like most in Pro rugby wasted money on players instead of investing in the ground and the future. And thats a RUgby League problem with its short term thinking. My view is nothing against Barrow and hope they do well. But equally I wwant ALL clubs to keep improving the grounds as well |

couldnt agree more mate. The ground will get better facilities but money is tight and it will take time.
Incidentally, when was the last time you went to Whitehavens ground ? It is nowhere near the standard of Craven Park so it will be interesting to hear your comments about that ground when you visit. |

Probably not a lot in it really. Cracking view from the Kells End but you have to do a lap of the ground if nature calls when stood at the scoreboard end. |

Nah Matt.
You just do what we did at Wilderspool in 2002, when 5000 of us ploughed into the away end in the CC quarter final.
Just flop it out and let it 'gush' on the terracing !  |

It's a fantastic place to watch rugby on a warm sunny day, but a different story when it's cold and wet, or cold and dark and the lights go out after 10 minutes!!! |
