It’s all coming to roost - the RFL are silent on what to do about the lack of fax fixtures, batley are saying they are fine financially,

I thought barrow were probably the best placed  financially of the Cumbrian teams ( I know they are Lancashire really)

But the fixture structure as we all know is a dogs breakfast 

The RFL don't care. They'd love it if all the Championship clubs went chips, it'd rid them of a problem.

I don't want to believe it but I think gpo1971 is right. If you consider the equally farcical goings on in the amateur and England International matters, the focus does all seem to be on Super League, and nothing else. In my opinion, the 144 (ish) strategic recommendations were also just rubbish.  To misquote the line from Spectre, "They are a kite blowing in a storm".

The silence from the rfl is deafening and I support your views that they would be happier with no championship clubs

the big problem is that the number of championship clubs get less, the power of the voice gets lower

Barrow struggling with cash flow issues- with Fax gone no home match in 2 months and a trip to London to pay for in the 1895.

Barrow have always struck me as well ran (at least since the mad Dessie days!)

With Halifax and Featherstone gone for now and Oldham moving grounds this new era of the Championship is turning sour quickly!

The fixture list is a joke- we go from March 8th to April 26th without a home game ourselves- this is the first thing to be sorted for next year.

Also, a main reason for the league merger was more localised fixtures- we don't play Swinton or Rochdale at all...

CJ it’s worse than that!!! The April 26th game is against Halifax so that’s off, so it’s actually May 3rd!!!

Im actually away on the 28th for two weeks so I will miss the Goole and Hunslet game as well. So my season ticket seems a waste at the moment as I also miss games in Aug
