Counting fingers at the turnstiles should stop any mutants getting in EH

Spot on. Just trying to keep good faith going whilst the club is best thing since sliced bread again. They wouldn’t have been doing it after the Woking defeat at Brunton Park

Let’s hope we get the result to go with it and make it an absolute miserable day for them.

Is there anyway we can put a few more stanchions up and maybe a leaky roof

And they bascially did their own fans over by releasing them 15 mins early. If some fancy going in the home end as has been suggested i hope they get a good hiding
Call me old fashioned, but since when did it become ok to encourage violence against people who just want to see their team play football?

It's not old fashioned. It just means your a normal human being as opposed to a knuckle dragger.

We don't need a bigger stadium.
These one off games where big crowds are expected are few and far between.
Anyway, Carlisle United will be in the Championship in about three or four seasons and god knows where we will be.
What we need is a new community stadium and thankfully the movers and shakers owners, Team Barrow the local MP are talking about it
😂😂 and who's paying for it, I went to the townhall meeting the other week and they admitted that the £200 million will not cover any of their plans !

"£200 million will not cover any of their plans !".
Exactly. That money will just disappear with very little to show for it - no new Ground - no new Theatre - no new [SwearFilter] all !
That money will disappear into the back pockets of quangos.

Never intended to cover infrastructure!

The £220 million was to set up and run the organisation, assess requirements, commission professional assessments of situations, create outline designs and support local groups and organisations.

The actual infrastructure costs would come down to the relevant government departments/quangos, eg NHS, DfE, DfT, etc and some would involve partnerships with developers and finance & property companies who would undertake work on normal commercial terms.

Anything on a 'wish list' would come with huge bills, an example being the work on the A66 finally under way to complete dual-carriageways between Penrith and Scotch Corner. Six sections of road - a total of eighteen miles - to be dualled are now priced at £2.7 billion, to be phased over nine years. To dual the remaining sections of the A590 and bypass Ulverston would likely cost more.

Once studies are completed and the wish lists presented to government for consideration, we shall see to what extent the PM's backing for the town and area can be translated into reality.

Nice though a new stadium may seem, a better use of funds for sport would be a sports development centre with modern facilities, courts, pitches (open and covered) to develop the area's talent. This would be available to existing clubs and organisations and a facility which the two private companies running the area's professional teams could also use in various ways.

For Mall and Nige - a true story.

I was at a meeting in BAE going back about 15 years-ish. The meeting was discussing deployment of staff from the DDH base up to the top yard and the early stages of the Successor/Dreadnought project. It was quite stressy with all the complications being worked thru of having several boats in different build stages and then taking key staff away to another project. During a particularly hairy bit a Manager lost it and shouted to all and sundry “We haven’t got a f*****g cat in hells chance of delivering Successor from this yard!”. He then got up and stormed out of the conference room. Everyone looked at each other rather bemused until another Manager piped up saying “Well I guess that’s all for today guys but remember this - the longest journeys start with a single step”. Those subs are being assembled as I write this.

If we get results at Gillingham and Gateshead then hopefully the people of Barrow will turn up.

Let's not lose out focus on wether they get more tickets or not, this is an opportunity to shut them.uo!

A good home crowd, a team high on recent results, let's take this opportunity to show who "owns the north" they have the historical advantage but right now, that means sod all.. lets all make sure HS is banging with optimism, pride and belief.. if we go a goal down, we go louder and prouder.. let's make this out time, let's right the wrongs and get the result.

Lets start believing that we in fact "own the [SwearFilter] north"

Spot on ,at the meeting it was frustrating because there's so many factors to consider I personally think it's going to take years to get anything off the ground ( no pun intended!)

Oh it will that’s not in doubt, it tool York 12 years from idea to inception for the Community stadium but the fact the main players in the idea are meeting and talking about it is a starting point
Interestingly the latest Barrow Rising meeting minutes from September state that Team Barrow have had 120 enquiries regarding private funding being invested into the town

Alternative to a new ground, a proper redevelopment of the Steelworkks End would be in the region of £6-7m,… so if anyone come’s in with the Euro rollover, …you know what to keep aside. 👍👍
