Totally agree.

Then there's more use of the small 5 a side community pitches the FA are rolling out. And to sort out Pulse, which is in disgraceful condition.

Then the problem of training and finding enough coaches.

And that's before we tackle access to these, through transport, through funding, through a coherent strategy to change the face of sports provision in Barrow. Partly so that children in poverty don't have to pay to play sport, a state of affairs which is holding back many.

Until all that's done, a massive no from me.

Forgive me but what is Pulse ?

I can't disagree with any of that. It's an utter disgrace that Barrow does not have at least one full size 4G Pitch. The town did once have a Barrovian working in a paid capacity representing the area for the FA but for the life of me I can think of a single benefit he brought to Barrow regarding football.
