Is it really wrong of the club to not want people wandering around an active building site. It is simply h&s. We all want to see the massive improvements to the old ground. But why risk the possibility of personal injury just to take a photo or two.
Thank you to the three owners for your continued commitment to Barrow AFC.

Really? from the photos taken can`t see any fences blocking off access to the "site" which if were there would have warning signs on !

3 owners - there is at least 4
Some people really do need to think a bit more before they post things on here

I picked up my ST yesterday and was told that I'm not allowed in the ground!
I can understand the H&S situation, however there was a complete absence of signage!!
There were a pair of cones and a "plank" between the two across the gate but no signage?
We're all supporters on here. Let's leave the negative comments to the away fans

You don't need fences or warning signs just a bit of common sense

There has been a fence across the reception gate entrance/exit but it can’t be there 100% of the time as there are forklifts, vans & workers going in & out.

I was told yesterday that last week someone moved a fence and stood in the wet concrete that had just been poured in the east terrace.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Can't think any league grounds will let folk just walk in and wander around uncontrolled.

I didn't make the statement but if you're trying to be clever, look at the photos he took and please explain the danger!, bye the way you do need fences and signs or we as a club would have been fined Thank you for your attempt at being smug 😏
