Club statement

[barrowfan_chris]

"We need supporters who convince their friends and co-workers to come down to a match on a Tuesday or Saturday so that we have crowds of 2,000 and not 1,000. All of these things are possible, and the next 12 months will decide what kind of club we want Barrow AFC to be."

I always struggle to get anyone that I know that has an interest in football to come along to watch a game.

Maybe start by restructuring the Corporate experience so we can entice folk to come on down and have a few drinks etc.

I think season tickets were 8 games free, we need some sort of other ticket offers to bring people along.

It can't just be "fetch someone along it will be reet" quote from the Cassons and expect us to use a Jedi mind trick to drag unwilling friends/colleagues along.

You also have to give people a reason to come down. The basics of that are a reasonably competitive team playing reasonably decent football, and decent facilities to watch it in. With a cutting back of investment on the scale that statement suggests we're highly unlikely to get either of those things.

I think ultimately this is going to end with the Casson's and the club parting company. If it is then I'd rather they just get on with it and do it now. I don't believe a word any of them say, their era so far has seen a moderate amount of success and a whole host of broken promises. I've got no faith or trust in them.

Bit embarrassing how they go on about the boiler at every opportunity.

Wish they’d have mentioned all this cost cutting before I bought a season ticket.

It is a nice boiler though.

It looks like Ady Pennock is off no statement on his future but with the penny pitching announced he will have no option
Ironically he led FGR to top of league and then got the bullet,now he looks like he is on the way out here after keeping us up.
Little Kim will have to rewrite his statement fron that Pennock never kept us up so he was let go.
Now Ady the plan was relegation you failed and so you are the weakest link bye

+1 for the ramblings

+1 An impressive piece of work!!

What would happen if (and its likely) no one came in for our transfer listed players ?

That would make a massive dent in budget cut by 40% (by what is said behind the scenes)

I think if Ady Pennock had left the club he would have made it public by now.

Its ridiculous that there's confusion of whether we have a manager or not.

If he hasnt left you might of thought he would've got a mention in huge club statement about the upcoming season...

" the next 12 months will decide what kind of club we want Barrow AFC to be". well thats it then init-the chances are were gonna be crap so the attendances will be crap,all self fulfilling really. Be surprised if we see the season out. This is going to be really embarrassing-can see it coming a mile off.
