Quote: Gary High "Don't talk sh*te mate !!

I guess the guy has no motivation to win things - he'll just turn up for the money and an easy ride. Nowhere near the type of player of Lee Mossops calibre !!

You are welcome to him'"


Judging by the comments of Barrow's idiotic chairman all your players have to play for is the money he's throwing at them.

Des Johnston

[i“I’m paying the best top-dollar wages to these people and they are not doing the business like they should be.[/i

So on going by that comment, if Grayshon was looking for a quick buck, he'd have signed for you losers and gone and lived in no mans land.

Good luck buying your way to the finals.

Ha ha thats the biggest pile of crap Ive heard for ages !!

Idiotic Chairman ?? I would say he is far from that..........not even 1 season in and we already look far stronger than you lot ever have over the past few seasons. How long do you lot need to get your act together ?

icon_mrgreen.gif with envy eh ?

Id say Widnes 6 - 27 Barrow = Widnes completely OWNED and in our pockets.

Do have fun looking up wont you

You seem to forget mate that your a little fish in a big pond, Barrow havent won anything meaningful for years and yet your celebrating being above Widnes in the league. Considering your position in the league you cant reach the 2,000 mark in crowds and your ground is a shed waiting to collapse.


Short term success on the pitch isnt going to book you a long term future in the elite of the game. Barrow always will be a small club.

We will see mate. You are forgetting that come 2011 license applications we may be in a far stronger position than any English club in the Championship.

Despite the envious comments from supporters of other clubs and obvious jealousy regarding our Chairmans cash, I think Des Johnston has finally awoken a sleeping giant. I may be wrong but we will see in due course.

As for not winning anything meaningful for years, you are correct, BUT lets wait until the end of the season shall we. History counts for nothing to the RFL so attempting to belittle us with the mention of a lack of success counts for nothing really. Success over the next 2-3 is what will count.

How will you be in a far stronger position? Barrow are an unfashionable club with poor crowds and a shed of a ground. Pardon me if im being rude but you have no feckin chance. Alright your in Barrow with no club in a 20 mile radius but that still wont mean anything. Des wont put his money in forever and if he doesnt see a return of success this year then out go some of your starts next year. Fair play to you so far this year but we still have quite a bit to play.

You have a very short memory..........Naughton Park was a sh*t hole but you have a new modern ground - Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise we need to upgrade.

If your team continues then your crowds will reduce. The Wigan game has shown the potential for large crowds. London & Celtic dont command large crowds.

Like I said.........We will see !

Yes and in the current climate you wont be getting one.

Wigan was your cup final, when was the last time you had a game as big as that?

Like I said.........We will see !



I look forward to also seeing nothing, many thanks for your contribution Gary

1. Our attendance average in the league is 2,100
2. What was the crowd for Widnes v York in the NR Cup QF ??
3. We own our stadium, so we're £5M+ better off than Widnes for starters (based on land valuation)
4. We've NEVER gone bust
5. We haven't blown a place in Super League
6. We don't let people in for free to boost attendance figures

You're correct, short term success is no guarantee of a SL place, but neither is a 'nice' (rented) stadium and a bit of history. You're only as 'big' as your last season. The crowd vs York was the real litmus test of core support. People actually had to pay to watch a lower league team.

We know our stadium needs redeveloping, but it's in hand. I'll tell you what though, I'd rather own a stadium where the club gets all the revenue from sponsorship, bar sales etc. Also a far better atmosphere than 3,000 rattling round in an all-seater.

We'll see how small our club is come September when the dust has settled on the season.

No we wont we'll see how good a season each TEAM has had it wont show us how big a CLUB is. We know you know we're a bigger club by the way you celebrated beating us.

Now that's hardly surprising is it,seeing as Barrow have never been in that league.What the hell difference does previous relegation from SL matter anyway?Cas,Salford and Huddersfield are all up there after dropping down in recent years.A fan of a once perrenial yo yo club should know better.

You can phrase anything you want to make it look like you have the advantage. We have a strong club despite the problems the first team is having this year, the reserves and the kids are having good seasons and we've got some great local kids coming through.

You say you prefer your little ground as you own it and it has a better atmosphere, that's great - but that little ground won't get you in Super League so you're contradicting yourself there.
