Sitting right on the fence here..

Recent comments and remarks, rumours and whatnot about the owners, the club etc etc are not healthy for the club at all!!
I know for a fact that some people have not and will not attend matches based on whats said on here and rumours spread.. NOT good for the club in any shape or form!!

The owners have retracted some of their ambition regarding development and publicly admitted they were too gun hoe but people are still mentioning development ad promise of roof on all four sides within 4 yrears or whatever was quoted..
Cox has gone, conspiracy theaorys and rumours as to why were rife.. casson picks team, casson wants this casson, casson didn't put hand in pocket in January etc etc.. Cox lost interest at the FA cup game against Rochdale! He spent a bucket load of cash and a budget that would match any of the top teams and bottled it..FACT So he had to go.. that's football
New manager..Not everyones choice but ffs get behind him and the team and see what happens? Is it to save and make cuts in readiness to sell up? Don't be bloody stupid!!
Yes the owner wants attractive football, don't we all? is that wrong for them to say so? Get a grip..
The Crossbar.. Its been temporally made over to enhance the club a bit, new plan is to develop that end to make money.. WHats up with that? sensible imo to do that first! Lets see if it happens sooner rather than later before we start slagging the owners off!!
Selling players.. It happens, we made money and well done! suggestions of raising sell out clauses etc.. this is done at time of contracts being signed, you cant just rub it out and re do once a club shows interest!! In an ideal world yes but you cant..stop moaning!
Players ant to progress and if they use as a platform then so be it
Yes it all may seem doom and gloom to some but I'm looking in and in my own opinion, they are doing everything and more just like we have all asked for for years!
Andrew CAsson... I like the guy, I think he can be misunderstood a little but his business brain and forward thinking are whats needed.. get behind the man and give him a chance!!
Pappa Casson.. hes passed responsibility to Andrew..lost interest? don't be fooled by the rumour mill.. he wants us up and the club bouncing! Ive seen his pain when we play poor or loose..is that someone who doesn't care? give your head a wobble


Jeeezus... ive never known such a bunch of moaning gits.. perhaps some of you take great pleasure in being a fish wife that likes to gossip? perhaps some of you are just intent on killing the club once and for all?

Sort yourselves out and if you don't like it.. done write, comment or bother claim to be a fan

In a world of social media though where every action is immediately picked apart by an atom bomb of 'well-informed' commentators, it's good to read a counter perspective.

One thing for sure is if the manager is going to succeed he needs the backing of the supporters.

I want Barrow to do well therefore I want the manager to do well.

He wanted the job and he got the job. Now he has to prove he's worthy of managing Barrow.

Don’t believe anyone wouldn’t attend a game because of what’s written on here. Neither is this forum biased, it’s open to all views and opinions contributed by some serious followers of the club. Emotions are high at the moment because maybe once again something has been offered and then taken away, whilst being told by the owners son that were on to a great thing

The rumours stem from here by certain people.. so wrong, people do not attend via whats said and then spread..FACT

One thing I want is to see HS packed and bouncing.. we have to accept whats happening and get on with it.
I'm optimistic that the people in charge are doing things right, slow but right.. ive taken time to speak face to face with both Andrew and Paul and I feel that what they are doing will benefit the club in the long term!

There is loyalty and then there is being silly.

Well people on here have predicted sub 1000 attendances since Cox left and we haven't had one yet. I am sure what is said in the local community and on here does have an effect on floaters but I doubt anyone would read something on here and think oh i'm not going ... if they say that's the case than that's an excuse because they didn't want to go anyway.

I pick and choose the games I go to and that is purely financial

Not Fact at all as far as I’m concerned and I talk to a lot of people at work about football and Bafc. Main reason I find is because they are too tight to pay £15, they mainly can’t believe this league is £15. Casson is a business man so why doesn’t he get his son to do a proper and unbiased survey/questionnaire, get them online, through the paper/post, through major employers and ask these questions
