    If the FL get to decide who to invite, I think we've got a very good chance anyway - based purely on geography, Barrow is a fair trek for a lot of clubs.

    The more I think about it, the more Barrow seem to be the worst possible club to promote into the Football League, We've already got Fleetwood, Blackpool, Morecambe, Preston, Accrington, Rochdale, Burnley, Bolton, Macc Town, Oldham, Wigan, Blackburn, Tranmere, Salford and Crewe in that area which is, more than any other region, struggling financially (see Bury, Bolton and Macc), so why on Earth would the football league want to invite another North West club that averages less than 2,500, less than Woking, in a tip of a ground????? It's just stupid, utterly stupid.

    They are nowhere in the attendance table, as low down as they are on form over the last two months. it's also precariously close to Windscale (and let's call it by its' proper name and not what they changed it to after the accident). It's the ar$3 end of Britain where nobody wants to live and nobody wants to go. Why are they even a consideration? Scratch them off the list, terrible idea to even consider them.

    We’d have no chance of succeeding for any of those reasons, and nor would I want us to.

    If as likely it comes down to the EFL inviting one club in, the only reasonable criteria is what has happened on the pitch in the 4/5ths of the season that has been completed and then whether that club meets the ground requirements. The EFL would have to demonstrate they’re following their own rules.

    There seems to be quite a few Notts fans who think that if we have no chance of getting promoted then no one else should either. If it was some sugar daddy team involved like Fylde or Solihull I could understand but Barrow have come from nowhere with a crap budget, to top the table for the majority of the season we’ve had. They handed our arses to us in November and I think they fully deserve their place in the league.
