Anybody know if radio sheep dip are still covering the games on MW, or has that outlet been chopped already in favour of digital ?

Really interesting listen, Dior is very articulate and excellent on the co-commentary games. Some great snippets from the Evatt era, amongst others.He certainly fancied Bolton, but Paul Hornby vetoed it.

Don't know if this has been mentioned, and one for the older members, does anybody remember the trips over to the Isle of Man the football used to run on the boat from Cav dock around about the late 60s, it was a great family day out and the boat was rammed, I even remember the hover craft being use...

The culture in the club didn't sound much better when Pete Wild was here if Tom Whites recent interviews are anything to go by.

They were looking at UCL near Preston earlier in the year, but I don't known whether that had something to do with Paul Gallagher and his contacts, excellent facilities there.

Anybody catch what yesterday's gate was ?

We are luckily blessed to have a board who are also Barrow football fans, you do wonder what their appetite is for a new non league excursion with the grief and cost that goes with it.

Think Gareth and his crew deserve a big pat on the back for the condition of the pitch considering the non stop rain we've had this winter and the previous history of the surface. I believe we are one of the last all grass surfaces still left in the EFL which make it even more impressive

Goes to show you how quickly sentiment changes in football, it was only last week that Mr Hornby was waxing lyrical about "Gally" and all the improved team statistics, fwd fast and we have manager number three in two months. When will the toil come to an end.

It’s great that he’s provided an update and great that these people continue to support the club financially, but let’s not ignore those big warning flags.

Sure it's a striker ?

Very successful experienced pro who will have the respect of the players. Has already worked with some good Managers whilst still being relatively young. Every appointment is a risk. Time to get behind Paul and the lads now. Every appointment certainly is a risk, look at the mess Carlisle got thems...
