Correct!

Guiseley away and the two home games against Hartlepool and Chester on 10th and 28th April are MUST WIN fixtures!

If we can obtain 9 points from those 3 games and 5 points from the other fixtures we might just survive...
I think 50 points is usually the points tally to ensure safety.
York went down with 50 points last year!!

Oh dear! :cry:

Can only see us collecting 50 points - at the most!

For instance noticed Midfielder Drissa Traore has been released by mutual consent from FGR. Signed by Cooper after Ady left the club. Always looked decent whenever I saw him play.

He's gone to Tranmere.

We could always tap into the hotbed of talent which is the Furness Premier league.

This cost cutting is now a joke if our board (Andrew Casson ) can't see that if we don't recruit we're going down then he's a bigger fool than I thought he was .
The biggest worry is Pennock accepting this situation surely when he applied for the job he must have asked about getting more players in or is he just here for the short term?

Surely the penny has dropped Paul Casson has no longer any interest in Barrow AFC.
The Red Adair of football Andrew Casson has been sent in to wind us down,strong and stable that's his motto.
Relegation will cut costs further
No need for that imperative replacement for Paul Ogden
Part time football players
Part time CEO forgot we have not got one
Part time Commercial Manager ,who is it now?
In all honesty what can Adi do?
We keep hearing they will back the Managers I think they mean their Managers will have their backs against the wall.

James, Kingsley James, cook, and Arnold or are you choosing to ignore them? I do agree and we are a few players short though
