What are you going to do about it then?

Nothing, I'm not a member or debenture holder anymore so I don't have any voting rights or influence on what happens. I can vote with my feet if I don't like what's going on at the club, on or off the pitch.

In case you didn't notice the club is family owned, it would be nice if they were more supporter friendly than they currently appear to be. Let's hope it improves, but if you don't like it you can always vote with your feet.

End of!

Do you know what?

I did a big [SwearFilter] off reply to this.

I can't be arsed arguing with clueless tossers anymore. If you wanna sit there and do nothing then thats fine. Do nothing, just have a think when you next complain about something the club hasnt done and ask yourself if you could have done ANYTHING to change it instead of 'hopeing" it changes in the future.

Comparing Paul Casson to Steve Vaughan is a bit out of order: what's he done to deserve that?

There isn't much anyone can do about (apart from the people who run things) However i do believe the club knows that things can be improved. Work is being carried out on a new corporate room isn't it? The commercial site is eventually being updated, whether thats down to this thread or not we will never know.

Most people are not even thinking about the football yet - but I would like to see a well stocked shop / tickets being sold for the first game etc - an updated website - some pictures of the new players sporting 2015/16 merchandise - a junior bluebirds club and some events - the shop open in the evenings and on Saturday and Sunday - I too would like to see some kind shop/ venture / section in a store in the town - maybe even a bluebirds cafe - tea / coffee cakes and merchandise

I do think its about control - the people that run the club need to take control and organise who is doing what and by when. It all seems too fragmented.

In terms of e-mails / offers of help - they are there - Ive offered help/ideas over the years and been ignored - yes it's frustrating and its not easy to walk away it's not like choosing a supermarket is it.. I don't think fans are unhappy tho I actually think most Barrow AFC fans are not even thinking about the season yet.

I hope the club do contact the people that have offered help and consider having a meeting to see where people can help.

There are lots of positives tho and plenty of reasons to be happy - the pitch looks great / we are putting together a young squad.

If I want to complain, I'll do it in person, not broadcast it one here, that's my choice.

and please stop calling people that generally agree with what your issues with the club,but just have different views on fixing things, clueless tossers.

This is one of the most entertaining threads I have read on here!

And if it wasn't for the seriousness of the topic - one of the funniest! Reminds me of one of the debates - initialised by Reg.

Reg got bored of football then started teaching poker and telling everyone everyday for the past year how often he does it.


Its a very serious topic isn't it. Theres just that simple minority that can't under stand the severity of it.

Is this a very serious topic? To summarise; things are as they normally have been for the last three, four, five plus years at the club, is that some kind of shock? I would guess millionaires aren’t too concerned with petty cash and have far bigger issues to deal with.

What is of some significance is that we are on the verge of taking a vastly improved championship winning team into the National Conference with a sense of purpose that we have not seen at the club in generations. Now that subject might be worth ten pages in my opinion.
