Latest update on the situation from the Chairman:- Update following the reports of a racist event at the Rochdale fixture: Barrow RLFC do not condone the language that was alleged to have been directed towards a Rochdale player. Both Barrow RLFC and the RFL adopt a zero tolerance attitude to any form of discrimination. The club accept that they may not have handled the situation as best they could and our stewards were unsure of how to react as this was such a unique event and we contacted the RFL for advice. We have received information about the RFL’s “Tackle It” campaign and all the match day stewards will be educated as to how best to deal with future incidents. The club, players and supporters are such a diverse group and we pride ourselves on being an inclusive club. The club would like to appeal for witness statements to be sent to the club. Racism is a criminal act and the club intend to forward any evidence received to the police for them to handle. (Steve Neale)

*** NEW HIGHEST BID *** We are now at a new total of £50 as the highest bid!!

Just posted by Steve Neale on Barrow RLFC facebook page:- I would like to apologise for the way the club dealt with the alleged racist incident at the Rochdale game on Sunday. I don't think we handled the situation as best we could and for that I am sorry. We need to learn lessons to educate ourselves over how to deal with such incidents in the future. I have made myself aware of the RFLs "Tackle It" initiative and I have contacted them today for advice over how to deal with this particular incident going forward and whether we should be following some protocol over potential future incidents of any discriminatory nature. The matter is not closed.

Chairman is on holiday at the moment
