The board at Barrow Association Football Club say they are "encouraged" by the response to the clubs plea for funds.

Bluebirds supporters were asked to lend the club £100,000 as a deposit to buy back their Holker Street ground from the liquidator.

Chairman Brian keen told BBC Radio Cumbria "We have raised £35,000 in three days but there is a long way to go".

"I hope all supporters and local businesses can play their part and help secure the clubs future".
