It is only ' surmountable ' because they own the stadium , I would guess that they might be able to loan against it to pay off the debt

Bloody mess though , I really feel for those fans , they've been through the ' ringer ' the last few year

It might take them A few years but I am Sure that Barrow RLFC will bounce back .......

I've also just read a newspaper article that Mr. Johnston is still a director and is owed about £110k. I didn't think he was allowed any involvement in rugby league or does being a director of a club not count?

If they don't severe ties then Barrow run the risk of being expelled from the league.
