| Quote: SRC "Exactly right.
I'm a Barrow fan and most people describe our ground as a dump (or something similar). We do own our ground, but it has seen better days - especially compared to 'new' stadia.
However, selling it and sharing a council owned ground will probably never happen. Mainly because there have been many, many clubs who went down the route of selling up with the best intentions at the time, and now lead a nomadic existence. Great traditional clubs like Oldham, Hunslet and Swinton are charged a fortune to lease a home stadium and are regularly told that the 'borrowed' stadium is unavailable.
Sheffield are moving from a soul-less athletics stadium to a soul-less all seater football stadium, Doncaster can't afford to play at their new stadium, Wigan had to play a 'home' game at Widnes etc etc etc.
Craven Park (Barrow) will be redeveloped up to SL standard at a fraction fo the cost of a new stadium. And it won't mean selling the family silver.
For me, the only things that matter about a stadium are:
1) Is it safe
2) Can you see the pitch
3) Does it have satisfactory facilities
4) Is it full
If you get the first 3, then I'm happy. If you get the 4th I'm delighted. A game lasts 80 minutes after all. What else do you need ?????
Ask the Wigan fans about their visit to Barrow in the Cup. A superb day with a superb atmosphere. Everyone could see the match, everyone survived the day and anyone who wanted a drink got one. OK, the toilets were an issue ( ![]()
If Cas went into the other division we have a proven record that we can survive we got 3 time bigger crowds than any other clubs.

Hull KR will announce an extension to their ground next week...
www.sporthull.co.uk/headlines/HU ... ticle.html
Another small step in the right direction to make CP a nice little rugby ground.
I can't wait to see that stand run the full length of the pitch, its going to be rivaling the South Stand (at Leeds) for noise  |

This is all a farce though.
They're moving, then they're not, if they go back to Bridgend what happens to sponsorship received in newport?
What does this other company know about running a sports club? they're only buying them as they've no one to run out of the stadium, Celtic cant stay there forever.
