Iwould say Halifax are the best team in the championship at the moment Barrow have done verywell so far though

I really enjoyed the trip there in the CC and was impressed with the quality of the team more then anything.

I thought your stand off Liam Finch(is that right? ) was top notch and caused us all sorts of problems all day on the back of a solid pack.

The ground would need quite abit of work to get a place in superleague though.

.....nah, just say you are going to build a brand new stadium for 30,000 and the council love you.........that was enough for a few teams last time around

True enough.

Why ???

What sort of crowd could Barrow realisitically expect to attract?

1billionty fans, would be more if they got away support.

"When the Super League was set up, it was proposed that Workington merge with Barrow, Carlisle and Whitehaven to form a Cumbrian super club. This was, however, resisted and an unmerged Workington took part in Super League but would record only two wins all season. They finished bottom of the table and were relegated to the Northern Ford Premiership with significant debts".

Lucky old Celtic Crusaders eh

They will do better next year with Briers ...................

If you're talking about us as a mid-table SL team, then I'd say we'd better crowds of 4 or 5 current SL clubs. If we were to stay in SL and sustain reasonable success then the club has a big enough catchment for 8,000-10,000 crowds (as we attracted on and off in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's).

Sleeping Giant comes to mind....with a bit more finance for the ground and players they could hold there own.
Wonder if James Graham would be interested in playing for a cumbrian superleague team.
