Our regular correspondents have been moved. But not to the Outer Hebrides, to where some would say they should have been moved. No, they've been moved to poetry (who said, "Oh no, not again?") by recent events at Holker St. But many more efforts like this and they'll probably have to be moved again... into residential care for their own safety. Anyway, here to welcome Mick Walsh, our (as yet temporary) new manager, is this cachy little number, to the tune of The Clash's 'Should I Stay or Shoud I Go?' It works best if each line is repeated once, preferably by someone you know. But if you're on your own, just sing out loud. Ready? Altogether now on the count of three... 1... 2... 3... (Oh its a waltz then, is it? Online Ed.)

WILL HE STAY or WILL HE GO?

Oh Mick, you've got to let us know,
Will you stay or will you go?
One time it's fine and then it's black,
Is the Chairman getting on your back?
So c'mon and let us know,
Will you stay or will you go.

It's always wait and see,
This time you've got us on our knees.
We don't know what song we should sing,
The Blue and White Army's lost it's zing.
So c'mon and let us know,
Will you stay or will you go?

Don't think about Division Three,
The Conference is sure to be
The place that you will want to go
If only you'll stay with Barrow.
So c'mon and let us know,
Will you stay or will you go?

If you will be a true, true blue
The Conference tracksuit's sure to fit you.
You can take us all the way
If you can get the team to play.
So c'mon and let us know,
Will you stay or will you go?
