Yer I am back on that topic, yer Tony Fax sometimes we all talk rubbish but its a bl++dy messageboard so we talk about things we are passionate about and yer hearsay, it aint a Court of law is that okay with you? I have never said anything libellous.

I made a point that Barrow have come from nowhere in 2 years, yer it may sound like jealousy, maybe it is alittle, but the point I made is valid - how have they done it? On the Chairman's money, end of, if you have been up to Barrow you can see that they are not that well supported to be able to afford to BUY sucha good team.
Fact.
All I cannot do is give you what the players are actually paid as we all know how that works in RL its a total mystery







Going back to Bracek he is Leigh lad and he told a guy from Leigh I know thats what he gets, okay?

Regards Fax, we do have a good lottery and must be up there near Widnes regards our commercial side.

You could have saved yourself a lot of typing by just putting that.




I told someone i was on £60,000 last week - just to make myself look windswept and interesting. It was a load of rubbish though.

barrow have a rich chairman des johnson as soon as he gets fed up they will go back to being mediocre as for now in my opinion i think they will win the gf they are the best team in the championship now iam afraid

Barrow are just as well supported as we are. I think they had more local lads in their team than we do. So do you consider our team bought?




Well thats that then. Your mate told you.

Obsessed

Stop getting yer 'nickers in a twist, Fax4Life.

But on the subject of Barrow ..... I think their reaching the Grand Final means its more vital than ever that we achieve the same ... not just from our point of view, but for the sake of the Championship as a whole.

The dream final would have been Halifax -v- Widnes, 2 clubs steeped in history with large "sleeping" fan bases. There would have been a big crowd at Warrington, SKY would have got excited, the neutrals would have tuned in.

But if Fev win .... we have a Barrow -v- Fev Final. Oh dear, not very glamourous eh? I can see the Final coming and going with a squeek and awful viewing figures.

And I'm NOT discrediting both Barrow and Fev's achievements, just saying they haven't the same "pulling power" in terms of attention from the general RL public.

So it's VITAL for the Championship we win on Thursday. And I'm sure all the other clubs' supporters will be behind us too. Up the Fax!!

what a load ov e , i suppose barrow has no history eh , how old r u ? its one of the oldest clubs in rugby league , that has never folded or gone bust and still own there own ground , check the history of barrow rugby league b4 u write e again , willie horn will be turning in his grave , just a little fella from barra also gb captain !

I DO know my stuff, knockon, and I can tell you the worst crowds at Wembley involved the likes of Barrow, Featherstone and Workington. And the record CC Final attendance? Yep, it involved Halifax.

i think you will find halifax have been around longer than barrow

By two years

Barrow were big in the 80s - they won the Lancashire Cup in '84 (

) and lost the Regal Trophy in '81. The whole of the RL world must have been quaking in their boots!

What a season this really has been for Barrow.

The on-field success, the ups and downs, the dissapointment and the ecstacy.

But the thing that has often given the most pleasure is reading some of the fairy stories on other clubs' forums about Barrow player salaries and salary cap, our Chairman's ego, impending bankrupcy, dirty looking shirts, dodgy floodlights and all manner of other stories borne from a position of complete, and total, ignorance of what Barrow RL is all about and how the club is run.

I thank you all
