Can't beat rumours. I heard the one about the money and checked with John Spoor at Barrow rugby shop who tells me he has been doing the wages whilst the club secretary is on holiday and they are up to date and paid in full. If you are hinting at Jamie rooney - his "mysterious illness" necessitated a trip to the out of hours G.P. service and a ticking off for not seeking medical attention earlier. The Chairman has pledged himself to the club until the end of next season at least. I remember all the complaints about him being in the changing rooms at half time in the Northern Rail last year, everybody was sure of that fact - trouble is that the TV footage showed him with the other Directors and sponsors having a cup of tea at half time several floors above the changing rooms. Congratulations Fev on your achievements this year- of which I think the good news about your youth team is the which prove most important.

The club have now issued an amended crowd figure of over 1,700 (mistake made due to secretary being on holiday and someone not counting season tickets)
