You are right, But when we spend OUR money on OUR stadium we get ALL the benefits and income from it - Not the Council. Im sure that after this years season our Council will help in the Re Development of Craven Park. Funding from elsewhere shouldn't be a problem to get hold of either.
And we will still own Craven Park NOT Rent it  |

You own a dump that will not get Barrow a licence. It will need massive investment to bring it up to standard. At this moment in time, I can't see that kind of money simply rolling in.
Stadiums, even new ones, cost an awful lot of money to run and maintain. Very few make money, most will be a drain. HBC take that hit. All the policing and stewarding costs etc have been out-sourced. As long as you have a good rental agreement, and we now do, the club will prosper.
I'm sorry, but you are nowhere near being in a position to boast. You're just not.

My opinion on who could make the jump up is fairly simple
Only widnes have everything that is needed
It would be great if a club like Barrow did manage it , but even with Des's support they are a long way short of SL , and even a refurbed stadium is not all that is needed

So you don't think DJ will bother if you don't win the GF? |

We could easily get a home equity loan, various grants, Council offered interest free loan, sports council grants, Fans CP2 donation schemes etc.
Momentun is difficult to stop. |

Good, I hope it continues for you. But, until you have all this in place, and have all the major work complete, Barrow fans are in no position to take the pi55 out of our situation. Barrow are lagging a long way behind Widnes in many areas. That may sound arrogant, but it's true.
Unless the RFL are desperate for a [i'Cumbrian'[/i team, I doubt Barrow will be in line for a licence in 2012.
Our stadium is excellent and would grace Super League, no matter who it's owned by. Scoffing at it from a tired old slum is a bit rich imo. |

Today was your best chance to show off the league winners trophy as you were playing a team that you should of beaten.

2962 home fans were in attendance in bad weather conditions at our game which kinda clashed with Cartmel races, were you can bet several large groups were planning of attending both, but then the beer brain kicks in and you stay out booze cruising.
Still a very good attendance for an up and coming side, in my opinion.

I know, but your fellow Barra fan Gary High was. That was the context of the post of which you quoted me on. |
