Everything both on & off the pitch is on the up and has increased every year in the last four years and is expected to increase again next season.
Look at the Barrow born players currently playing SL
1,Gardner
2,Gardner
3,Lupton
4,Harrison
5,Wilkes
Several Barrow born u18/u16 players are earning rave reviews in various SL academy sides.
Add to the mix ((if)) Barrow RL were in the SL then several of the Cumbrian West coast lads would probably rather play for Barrow SL Club than the others, not all and maybe not the most but some.
If Barrow were really competing in the SL then probably most would want to stay local-ish.
BARROW RUGBY LEAGUE for SUPERLEAGUE.
Your post sums up exactly what is going wrong at Barrow.
Your ( Des's) money can buy players but cannot buy a team nor success.
Teams need to be built up over a couple of years.
Des has fooled you all in beliveing that you can have instant success less than 10 months after gaining promotion, with all the talk of League leaders, Gf and SL etce etc.
You have had a great seasons, but the team spirit and belief fromall connected at the clib must have suffered a massive dent in th last few days, culminating in last nights result.
The playoffs I fear are going to be tough for you.
And before the usual culprits throw accistaions of jealousy, nothing of th sort.
You are rightly placed at the top for now, my team had no aspirations to finish anywahere near where we have so far. Anything from now for us is a bonus.
Finally I cannot understand why the Barrow fans are not up in arms with how Des ( not the BOD) have acted in the last few days.
How the hell are you going to attract the next coach???
make no mistake if you do get Karl Harrison, Des and him will be on collision course from day 1.
Goodluck for the rest of the season.
