Barrow have trained at various locations but never in Barrow,

Meet Barrow, the team who train 100 miles from home
Barrow AFC currently trains at Broadhurst Park in Moston, Manchester, sharing the facilities with F.C. United of Manchester since the summer of 2023. The site features grass pitches and a 4G facility used by the squad during the week. Previously, they used locations in Salford, Rochdale, and Lancaster

More chance of getting Kim Wild!

As they say in Yorkshire - Peter is a 'Long Neck!'

I asked my Yorkie mate why he always referred to people from Lancashire as Long Necks-
his reply 'Cause they're always looking over the top of the Pennines to see what we're doing!

I laughed and said 'You can always tell a Yorkshireman......

..............But you can't tell him much!' :dance:

this has been mentioned for pools in the past. if we do have difficulty bringing players up here then we must go to them. always think of south yorkshire when this comes up and i,m sure derwent will know somewhere we could do this. its not as if we train in the town now is it and if we did there is no real necessity to do so.

Recent seasons have shown that Pools don't have any trouble at all bringing players from all over the country to Pools. The real issue is, how many feel settled once they get here?

The game against Sutton the other week was a case in point. Topalloj, Pruti and Francis all wanted a move back down South. We do better with other Northerners - including the ones who commute from home to play their football at the Vic.

problem with that is you reduce the pool of players you are trying to recruit. if halifax restricted signings within say a 60 mile radius of the shay it covers a hell of more clubs than it does for us at all levels of the game. the NE is not the hot bed of football anymore.
