Re: George Ray signs
Good player at League Two level, some speculated he had a bit of a falling out with the manager, but it might just be that he fell down the pecking order after Sam Stubbs (our best centre back in a long time) came back from injury. Believe he had a falling out with Crewe's old boss, but might be wro...

Re: Zanzala
looks like Zanzala might be off to Newport - and fans are not happy. Here is the post one made on the EFL Forum;- "Looks like Zanzala is having a medical with us today, don't know what to think about that!! there is a good player in there somewhere but to have your contract cancelled by both c...

Re: HS renovations 2022
Should try to get on the phone to somebody at Everton. They'll be moving out of Goodison Park in the near future, and I doubt all those seats are spoken for. I imagine many would be in decent nick, and would be a cheap and easy way to spruce up the ground or add new seating down the line. Pompey are...

Re: Zanzala
If Pete wilds philosophy is as he states “ to win the ball back in both boxes” then Zanzala is history.More work in a junior aspirin and his goal scoring record at all his clubs cannot be ignored.Get him out on loan till his contract expires. This is really surprising to hear as an Exeter fan. He w...

Re: HS renovations 2022
I feel there's always the risk too that one of the relegated clubs attempts to use legal action to reverse a decision to give extra time to get seats in. Even if unsuccessful, it would lead to uncertainty going into the following season and make planning (including offering contracts) more difficult.

Re: New Training ground - at De La Salle Sports & Social Club
Fully agreed. It just feels wrong to me to accept that it's unsustainable for Barrow AFC to be based in Barrow-in-Furness. If the borough's good enough for the 67,000+ people that live there, why is it out of the question to ask footballers to find a place to rent in the area or take the train up f...

Re: New Training ground - at De La Salle Sports & Social Club
I just hope we don't spend much money on it, why let the community's of Salford gain from our investments when Barrow has nothing. Fully agreed.

Re: Players released by other clubs - who we might be interested in....
Callum Rowe (Exeter) would be worth a look. Came from Aston Villa and struggled to establish himself, but performed well when he had a run of games during an injury crisis and more than a few supporters have been surprised by the decision not to offer him a new deal. I imagine that if we (ECFC) had ...

Re: Summer Work ?
As long as the planning applications and paper work are completed before the final game of the season then they can complete it during the summer ahead of next season Regardless of anything it HAS to be done. I've not seen anything in the regulations permitting this, can you point me in the right d...

Re: Summer Work ?
Regarding the new seating requirement. Do these seats not have to be in place before the end of the current season?The reason I am asking the question is because it would make sense to do it whilst the pitch is stripped back to avoid doing it in the future and damaging the pitch. I would also like ...

Re: The 1000 extra seats required.
That's useful then, because it means that any seats there wouldn't come at the cost of overall capacity.Lancaster Branch wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 12:08 pm At the moment capacity is zero, save for the club staff who stand there, the stewards by the tunnel and the disabled shelter.

Re: The 1000 extra seats required.
What's the official capacity of the Cross Bar end? I wonder if that wall behind were to be demolished that a new, small stand running the width of the pitch (flanking the tunnel) could just about squeeze in. The result wouldn't be too dissimilar to what we have at St James Park (our gap is for emerg...

Re: So what now?
Keep and improve the strides we've made with more cover, disabled access, better views for more away fans, back to 4 sides, more for families and keep the HSE as good as it has been (which is miles better atmosphere wise with lots of room for improvement) The atmosphere has improved massively under...

Re: So what now?
If you ask the fans of the (many) teams that moved from their more central, smaller grounds to out-of-town identikit stadiums about their thoughts on the move, I think a majority would say that, with hindsight, it was the wrong decision for their club. Huish Park is soulless, right on the outskirts ...

Re: The 1000 extra seats required.
It baffles me a bit as to why it was ever built there, honestly. Is there some factor that I'm unaware of that made setting it back 5 metres impossible? It was built in the 70s, it’s not like we built it a few seasons ago. Go back 5m and you’re onto Furness Rovers’ land, give or take a few centimet...
