The Football League also brings bigger attendances, perhaps not from the people of Barrow. But certainly more away support coming to Holker Street.

Which means increased costs housing/policing them.....

I assume this is why they pay to enter.

So you are saying the extra money gained through crowds go on policing them and that away fans only turn up to pay for the policing of said fans?

I hope one day we get you in as a director [SwearFilter]. You make it sound so easy to predict what will happen in the future.

I predict this degenerating slowly into a morass of pish (if that's possible) as a former member of this forum enlivens his shift by upsetting middle aged men who should know better, occasionally including me

Actually in the case of this middle aged man, a former member of this forum is no problem at all . If I had the energy and enthusiasm I'd continue the debate but in the end I just don't see that it is worth it .

So crack on a former member of this forum - I'll watch with interest

Happily, unless leaving the foot in on a centre half a few yards ago. Amd I know you love the club

I don't disagree we'd struggle massively unless we try to grow the club by marketing it properly. I am far from unsure this argument wasn't around when we were last in the league..perhaps a wiser head like PJ Daly might attest to that, I wish he'd post more.

But for some of the folk that argued about it at the time and stayed all the way through (must be about 200 tops of them left) wouldn't it mean everything to get back whatever the problems long term!

The Football League.

But what?

Increased attendances? The league themselves? Some TV money?

Just trying to understand where the substantial increase in income would come from...

Selfishly I'd give anything to see Barrow play a couple of seasons in the football league if that means I would have to support Barrow as a non league club for the rest of my life after that I could live with it.

I love the ahead of schedule stuff Cox and co come out with but for me this will be a massive missed opportunity should we not make the play offs this season.

Quite. The old members already voted for x years of winning more than losing in exchange for supporting AFC Barrow AFC once those years are up.

Stephen you have said twice now that you don not want to give your view on things. I am intrested in what you have to say.
