BARROW Raiders are facing a bill which could be thousands of pounds after a club wall took a battering from Storm Frank.

A clear up operation at the Duke Street end began on Saturday with builder Neil Martin removing the dangerous section with a mechanical digger after savage winds hit hoarding and as a result split concrete blocking below earlier this week.

The Craven Park club are now looking to volunteers to help tidy up the area and business for their support.

Mike Sunderland, joint director of rugby, said: "Unfortunately it is going to cost the club thousands of pounds which, unfortunately we don't have, we may have to do some fundraising for it.

"We would love it if we could get some help from businesses, it is a massive cost to us which is unexpected, and it is a safety issue and has to be done as quickly as possible."

Barrow's next home game is a pre-season friendly against Workington Town on January 17.
