If Casson walked tomorrow we would be gone in 3 months even if he left us debt free the club couldn't afford to pay the wages

You and others call for us to be sustainable then moan we aren't spending enough -

Will you step up when we reform in the north west counties or will you be on sidelines moaning

The truth is all managers at all clubs want more money to spend and all chairman want to spend less

I'm happy to wait for the floodlights and gradual ground improvements

As fans Barrow fans and Barrow People are quite negative doom and gloom merchants - just enjoy the ride most of us will be dead in 50 years anyway
Absolutely dead right in every paragraph. The doom and gloom handful are only guessing about things they suggest are facts. You know who you are. Show support for the club and get behind each person who is trying to do their best. Prospective players might read this forum, and if they read a mass of negativity about the club it might just put them off signing.

You are free to criticize me .
Would I help the club in anyway I can if Casson leaves.
I've come home from Morecambe to watch Barrow Reserves in the Northern Floodlight league in 70s
I've done sponsored walk like many others in aid of the soccer.
I kicked every ball when watching Barrow avoid relegation only to be demoted by the Conference after the Vaughan mess.
Why did Casson not help then?
Has Paul Cassons made the club sustainable?
Will it survive if he leaves?or is it a ego trip turning sour.
What's the Commercial set up returning?
Has he brought better players in for those released or sold.
Why can we not get things done in a reasonable time i.e floodlights.
Milestones need to be set ,lights installed,ground improvements
So will I be here not giving up after 50 years of support.
He bought a asset with promises to improve but yes we are surviving but has he made us sustainable?

Just because you were once a loyal fan doesn't give you the right to be a [SwearFilter] now - that's not how life works.

Why did Casson not help in the 90s? What a stupid question.
How long do you think it takes to make a club sustainable? Casson sure as hell never said it would be sustainable within four years. I'm not even sure he said he would at all, just that he'd like to or he'll aim to.

If you've got concerns, write to Casson - he's the only one who can answer your questions. I feel like I have to read the same post from you two or three times a day. You're a spammer.

Just say no to VAR :sentoff:

Will try and find out UB.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Work restarts next Monday and should take three weeks to fully complete and remove the old floodlights.

Will there be a picture taken when all 8 floodlights are up think it will be a good picture to sell in the club. Just a thought.

Suggestion. Could the club (or the Trust) sell prints of the John Duffin paintings showing the soon to be no more old floodlights?
