Barrow Raiders chairman Steve Neale has revealed he is keen to develop a short and long term vision to make Barrow one of the strongest Rugby League areas in the country.
Alongside the Raiders, Neale has been working towards the return of the local leagues in the area.
In his community role with the Barrow and District League, Neale revealed he has long term visions for the Raiders and the amateur game in Barrow to work together to improve the sport in the local area.
He said: "I attended a Barrow and District League meeting this week that was focussing on the return of rugby.
"Barrow Raiders are determined to work together with the amateur game and in their secretary, Terry Barker, we have a man who is rugby through and through and simply wants the game to prosper.
"We suggested that we call an improvement meeting for clubs to bring ideas to the table to make our area one of the strongest in the country.
"Ideally, Barrow Raiders would like to produce a community development plan with both a short-term and long-term vision that the local game can buy-in to and a clear action plan to achieve our aims.
"There is full recognition from Barrow Raiders that without solid foundations Barrow Raiders will find it almost impossible to flourish."
