Could get a decent young keeper on loan from a Prem or Championship club

Exactly too many people on here who are spending money we don`t have !, Do they think the ground developements are free ? , we`ve recently appointed new positions in our club , yes they were needed but to prosper in this league and hopefully higher, we walk before we run , get the building blocks in first then see where we go .

I agree with your general point Nige, though I’m now inclined to believe that the Dixon story was more of a plant from those interested in retaining Trafford. There was never much logic to the suggestion.

A back-up keeper is definitely for Xmas and not for life.

I agree with both the above posts. It’s totally unrealistic for us to have two keepers of a similar standard at the club, the cost would be huge.
I also don’t believe for one minute that Dixon would’ve been prepared to come back to Barrow as a second choice or even as an equal to Farman, he’ll see himself as a first choice keeper in a lot of L2 teams and possibly some in L1.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.
