For all things Barrow AFC. Keep discussions civil and fair, we're all Barrow aren't we!

Must be my age but I’m confused. Why would a group of Newfoundlanders want to use a club in an outpost of the EFL to encourage relationship building and cross cultural affiliation with a Canadian Province? Honestly, I’m at a loss to understand the logic.

Are we sure that the Canadians have not confused us with Point Barrow in Alaska and are not trying to reach out to an Inuit community soon to become subject of an ice wall threat from the next President of the United States?

Take the money
Take the publicity

Happy days. It’s good to see we can attract these random ventures

Curious post from the club a few minutes ago on Twitter I'm hearing. I don't have it so can't confirm.

There will be an obvious logic to it all we just have to wait and see what that logic is. Looks like our club Captain

iirc, at the last qna , the new sky deal includes games being shown in the states as a partnership, I guess with the Wrexham affect, people might tune into games, with the hope that the “visit Labrador/new found land” might get attention. As someone else posted, let’s just take the money, who knows, might help with the development of the popular side, expanding the land at the back which is used as a car park and goes way back to the Asda waterhole, “the new found land stand” : P

From what I gather it's not worth loads of money and we turned down more from elsewhere but we'll benefit in many other ways.

Just a heads up. I have 14 of my US relatives attending the Real Union friendly on the 27th July. If any transatlantic accents are heard it is nothing to do with take overs or sponsorships.

The glimpse of Niall in the new shirt obviously comes from substandard stock. ;)

So glad someone else thought like this thought it was just me

Smart shirt! Not as fussy as some recent.

Newfoundland is crying out for skilled labour to move there. They’ll be using us as a vehicle to advertise that. I don’t think they’ll be particularly fussed about Barrow AFC per se, we’re just a foothold into a market that gets a large amount of global attention - English football.

That’s my guess, anyhow.

If it is (and it looks like subs), we should definitely be asking BAE for sponsorship!
