I made a point of going to him and saying "thank you for the fact that you never stopped trying to create something" and he said,"Isn,t that we are paid to do,keep trying"
I then said"It,s a pity some of the other players don,t have the same attitude as you"I got the impression that he sort of agreed with me by his reaction.
Very interesting, Methuselah . . . I agree with you . . . although I don't consider Josh a great striker by any stretch of the imagination he is one of very few who, if he leaves, will go with my very best wishes because he has always tried his very best.

He is leaving because he's not our player, he's on loan. That's the irony, the guy trying his hardest every match isn't even a signed Barrow player!

I won’t be going as I’m working out of town and not rushing back, however, rather than people boycott it I think fans should go as usual and then at the end just turn around and walk out, no clapping etc, or everyone walk out 5 minutes before the end in protest.
everyone is entitled to their opinion, deal with it

I’d like to see the manager throw everything at Newport on Saturday let’s take them down with us or at least have a good go and who knows what might happen.

I doubt we will the players will be feeling too sorry for themselves and will be just strolling around the pitch, the pre game managers interview if there is one will be doom and gloom stood their with his hands in his pocket with players training in hats and coats

I would like to see a rallying call from the club that we can still stop up and if people want to be part of what could be an historic day then get down to Holker street on Saturday.
Unfortunately the converse of the Newport situation is that they know that if they win they don't go down. Guess who'll be trying hardest?!!

When you get to a certain age and it suddenly dawns on you that you have a lot less years in front of you than what's behind you - it shifts perspective toward valuing quality, peace, and in my particular case deep gratitude towards Mr Hornby, Wilkes etc.
Fair enough, we have gone down, somebody has to, that's the nature of the game and the circumstances of that 'going down' we could argue about and debate until we are blue in the face but, one things for sure, this is our club and we are all proud of it and I for one will support it until it becomes physically impossible for me.
Yes, for sure we will lose a lot from the EFL attendances we became accustomed to at Holker Street, that much is to be expected because those people who choose to stay away do not have the same mindset as most people on this forum. True supporters are dedicated individuals who show unwavering loyalty, supporting their team through both success and failure (Barrow's being the latter noun) and its those very same people who were supporting the club through its darkest days who will keep on supporting the club till once again the sun shines.
I for one am already looking forward to next season and those familiar faces.
This for me massivly,i'll be there with my son, two season tickets please,
Love many, trust afew, but always paddle your own canoe ! My spelling is gash
