Quote: SRC "I have heard the capacity is 6,275, but I think the club arranged a safety inspection from the County Council to see if it could be 'upped' and are still waiting on their reply (bureaucrats !). Hence the lack of announcement over official capacity.

It's true our largest crowd was 1,809 against Doncaster last week, but that was our first game of the season and I'd expect a few 2,000+ crowds as the season goes on. I'd expect about 4,000 Barrow fans will attend the Wigan game though, given that many people still remember our great team of the early 80's, when we beat 'top' Division 1 teams regularly.

I can't believe Barrow are being slagged off for wanting to make sure that every 'home' fan gets a ticket first. In pure financial terms, do we give Wigan an extra 1,000 tickets (

I've no problem in Barrow making as much money as possible from it personally and would have no problem paying for my ticket. There's few enough chances for the clubs in the lower leagues to catch some of the drips of money trickling down. However, I'd be surprised if they are expected to give Wigan 1,000 tickets for no remuneration at all. If it's an RFL scheme there must be some kind of system to compensate clubs.

I understand plans are due to be announced imminently to completely redevelop Craven Park to Super League standard. The ultimate goal is for Barrow to win a license and give Cumbria a presence in the highest level. If we did ever get the chance to join the gravy train, we'd certainly get bigger crowds than Quins, Wakefield, Celtics and Salford.

which gets me back to summat i asked on page 1........who is subsidising the freebies?

i think its the rugby league, and in that case i dont think 2000 freebies is excessive.

what if it had been saints at home???

1000 tickets???
never in a month of sundays........closer to 10,000

Yes, it is. It is Barrow's home game. Why should they be denied the chance to attend?

I would say 2000 is not unreasonable, if the capacity is 6400 it is less than 1/3.

IMO that is about right.

At the very least I would say anouther 600 to bring it to 25%

Get new fans for a lower league club or please the fans who'll stay loyal anyway. This is a smart move to help Barrow get more support, some of those bandwagon jumpers might become Barrow fans after the game.
