I was talking to someone on Thursday who was asked to buy into the football when Paul Carson left.
He basically says we could no to afford to go up.
Success on the field might actually mean financial ruin.
Call me cynical but it makes sense.
Where would the extra revenue come from to establish us in the first division

Did you go to the qna? The ambition was pretty clear, be it this season or another.

Our playoff chances might very well come down to getting a result v Mansfield in the last game, a very tough ask the way we're playing.

Could well be a sell-out.

Nope was abroad .
Well the players need a kick up xxxx

Sat in a busy pub in Rochester very much questioning life choices

BUT we go again Tuesday

It’s not over until I slam my mic down in disgust after saying it’s over

Everyone remember - Barrow NEVER do things easy

We won the league by being top from November till March - clearly the best team in the league - but then a global pandemic hit and we had to wait an agonising 3 months to find out if we’d won the league

This current situation is peaceful compared to then!!!!!

JUST BELIEVE!!!!

I,ll second that Adam.

Tough one to take esp against a team that don't score many !
However look at results yesterday, apart from the top 3 all our rivals also lost in the playoff spots so its not just us !!!! In form you'd say if Doncaster got in the playoffs they'd win it so we need points in next 2 games (yes one is at Doncaster ) plus Crawley on Tuesday - the 2 teams below us then a massive 2 matches at home. To finish in top 7 would be amazing then the playoffs are a lottery so who knows

And on here too
I wouldn’t put it past us to go to Doncaster and get a win. Anyone can beat anyone in this league especially if you lose a player as early as we did.

People calling a player who has been outstanding this season an idiot....

Baffling.

Ah, but a random bloke in discussion clearly more reliable than staff, director and majority owner.

We should forget about playing Aqua he has no skills to hold up the ball and when it does come to him it bounces off him, he looks like a Sunday league player at the moment, with Stockton injured perhaps we should recall the Morecambe player thats on loan from Barrow.

I think I read somewhere that the agreement is that he stays there until the end of the season, including play-offs.

Stockton will be back in on Tuesday

Did Ray kick the player in the face or Shoulder, looking back on ifollow Ray was clearly apologetic towards the player also good to see Gillingham players not all surrounding the Ref George knew himself it was a bad challenge.

Out of interest why would we have spent money (wages) bringing Stockton in if this was the case?

We moved Duffus and Garner out on loan to finance Stockton and I would imagine Burton will still be paying a percentage of his wages. as happens in the majority of loans from clubs in a higher division.

A random bloke who was actually offered to buy into the club and is a self made millionaire but turned the opportunity down.
It is a forum though
