Widnes and Barraaaa. Widnes fans seem to build up their team each year and always end up in 4thish position.

Always? please tell me how many times widnes have finished 4th prior to last year? and you wonder why we dont like certain Halifax fans like yourself.


Stick to play school numpty

And yet you state your location as Sunderland. Interesting.

Your right, the year before last you finished 6th.

With a newly formed team you plank.

anyways it's pointless debating with Halifax as you havent won feck all in years.

banter and scitso is below the belt but really you dont know me to comment.

its still true. Oh and we did win...the fair play award!

We won that poxy thing.What nice bathroom now?

Ok whats the link? You must be pretty popular on there.. hypocrite

Don't like Whitehaven myself. Or Leigh.

How do you think we managed to finish the bloomin' stand!?

..ZING!

Well 'm in the know that most Super League supporters hate Widnes.

Hated and adored NEVER ignored.

I don't give a stuff if we're hated or not. We're are the best club in the world and will rise to the top once again.

Pills wearing off again?

Have no problem with Widnes and hope they progress to SL. I have no time for Barrow with a gobe Egomaniac Chairman and Fans who seem to think that they should be in SL after 2 decent seasons. They have bought themselves to win stuff but done zilch on the ground. The lights are a joke and the Academy set up is crap especially compared to Widnes. I wish Fax to win everything but I would have no problem when a properlsy developed team- on and off the field would beat Fax in all the games.

The fans don't think we SHOULD be in Super League, we think that we have CHANCE of Super League. A big difference there. As for all our rivals favourite subject - namely Des Johnston, he puts his money where his mouth is and is a winner. The club is being run better than any time in its history, we have a £850,000 turnover, the best lottery in the sport and 2 trophiesin the cabinet. That'll do for us Raiders fans.

We've been down the 'Craven Park is crap' route a million times and it's getting boring TBH. We didn't sell the family silver for a joint or council run stadium. Craven Park will be redeveloped and will still be 100% owned by Barrow RL. It will also still be in the heart of the town and the club will get 100% of all profits on matchdays etc.

Regarding our youth set-up, we have a U18's and a reserve team. A scholarship will be launched in due course. Having an expensive SL style youth set-up is absolute folly for a Championship club. We could have that, but would post the same massive losses as Widnes as a result and have all the best youngsters snapped up by SL clubs.

What would be the point of that ??

Come again?? What utter .

Because it is!
How are you going to get a 12-14k seater stadium within next 5 yrs?
Selling the clubs silver maybe your only option i'm afraid, your grounds a write off!

dont be too quick to judge.

Nope you wouldn't understand with your club having never reached such dizzying heights as World Club Champions or being dubbed the Cup Kings.

What a load of horse cack i don`t know of anyone who thinks we should be in the sooper dooper league.
A properly developed team so you don`t sign players from other clubs ? Are you the "basques of yorkshire"?

Try looking on your forum then! Also the way your Chairman acts and shouts his mouth of hardly helps does it? As regards to Crappy Craven Park it is amazing Des finds money to buy any available player but fails to spend much on the ground. He moans about having to pay 26,000 for lights when Barrow are on TV bragging about losing more money betting etc. Perhaps if Des spent some money modernizing the Crap hole at Craven Park, Barrow would not need to hire lights when on TV. Widnes, Fax, Batley, Doncaster etc have managed to do it why not Barrow?

No you wouldn't. You'd post the same losses at Widnes if Des Johnston spent some of his own money on the stadium. New seats, interior refit, electronic ticket system cost SOC a lot of money that he will never get back. In playing terms what Barrow achieved this year was superb, but we've seen in the past that clubs like Hunslet and Dewsbury could put competetive teams out that could win silverware but they were denied SL because they were unable/unwilling to upgrade their stadia (they still haven't). If DJ thinks Barrow have a realistic chance of SL with the current state of Craven Park then that is absolute folly.
