Newport v Barrow match thread

[LDBF]

Was my understanding that Sat. games are not available via your Home Club on ifollow?

Is that incorrect?

Yes if your in the UK use a VPN and log into a server in another country you can watch every game whilst living in the uk and the club gains financially. I think it cost around 13 Euros a game.

I pay £25 a month and get all of Barrow's. League 2 games home and away with Adam commentating. Hopefully Barrow get some of the £25

The sad thing about this is after last season we should NOT be here again IF we survive the board have to take a long hard look at WHY we are here again Training, player's preparation ( all these injuries) and Cooper's position!
for 3 months now people are saying it'll be OK it definitely isn't!

Completely agree; the full structure off the field needs bringing into line with our league status. No messing about next summer scrambling about for training facilities anywhere we can, no messing about bringing in signings the manager may or may not have wanted (and just the recruitment side of things in general really). If we stick with Cooper then we have to put everything in place so he can’t moan about issues like these (which he has a point about tbh)

We NEED EVERYTHING IN PLACE always, Regardless of who the gaffer is & im absolutely gobsmacked the BoD allowed Dunn to move away from the decent facility we were using at the time!! Bizarre move considering we were just back in the League & had a million & 1 hoops to jump through to comply with the League regs….It just added an enormous load of hassle & upheaval right when we didn’t need it & we are somewhat still suffering from that decision, I believe the inexperienced BoD were a bit blinded by an ex Eng & top flight player….No one is bigger than the club…Ever

That’s what I was hinting at…There are ways around most things and loads watch various streams & as Barrow fans & you have the option then surely you select us to gain financially.

Load a crap. The standard 'overall' in EFL2 is far better than the national league.

I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about and obviously don't watch any other teams bar Barrow. Wrexham and Stockport can both outbid any club in EFL2 for players and have better players than any side in EFL2. Chesterfield got the Boreham Wood striker than was coveted by several EFL clubs. Ther's 3 teams for a start which would be competing right at the top of EFL2. Ther's very little difference between the leagues other than the bottom 3 or 4 in the NL who are very poor.

Correct Russ, The NL is bonkers this season as next a salary cap is being introduced so the ex-league clubs are vastly overspending as it’s a now or never promotion strategy, Crazy how an incoming rule to prevent clubs overspending & become more sustainable has the opposite effect & only 2 will come up & personally I’d love to see both B-Wood & Bromley capture the prize…..The fall out will be biblical.

Spot on. The amounts they are spending are huge although Wrexham are getting the crowds to match. I'd also love Boreham Wood, Bromley or Halifax to sneak in before Wrexham, Stockport and Chesterfieldbut they certainly won't be chopping blocks in EFL2. They all look superior teams to the Sutton team which got promoted and Sutton are doing very well! Boreham Wood and Halifax both have top managers who have worked miracles over a few years.

Be some rich pickings from the sides that don't go up next year, some of those players wont hang around for another season in NL

They will if they get paid as well as they are this season and certainly the owners of Stockport and Wrexham are easily capable of financing it.

Does it matter if you can finance it if there’s a salary cap? In the instance no matter what some players will need to be offloaded. Wrexham are only just in the playoffs so time will tell if you really can buy your way out of that league.

[Moribund]

No chance the National League will bring in a salary cap.

Isn’t that exactly what they are doing next year? Hence all the clubs going big trying to get out this year?

They tried introducing it at our level and it was deemed illegal or unenforceable so was scrapped - same will happen there.

Just a quick google search and there’s an article that says it got voted in by a majority of NL clubs. Cap of £900,000 in NL and £450,000 in north and south. It might get overturned if the likes of Wrexham and Stockport don’t go up this season

if they don't go up Wrexham won't be able to field a team!
