Attention Programme Collectors

s-l1600.png s-l1600 (1).png I've inherited two collections of Barnet programmes, totalling 698, mostly home with a few away games. (Not all of them are pictured above) Dating from the 1975-76 season, right up to 2014/15. I really want them to go to someone who will read them and treasure them like ...

When the council wants something built that suits them the rules get bent in their favour. Hence why the school wasn't an issue, they make the rules to suit them.

Re: Chairman's statement

They propose this to pool the St John's Ambulance, Scouts and Rainbow centres into one large building, together with cafe and sports facilities. So Barnet council had a draft proposal to build on the greenbelt land but didn't go through with it. I hesitate to say, but if they had gone ahead with th...

Re: Chairman's statement

If we ever needed a stark reminder of why it's critical to keep THL (and the associated income it brings in) as part of the club, whether we get the new stadium or not, this is it:

I don't want Barnet to go back to those days ever ever again.

Re: Chairman's statement

To make moving back a reality the club needs 3 things 1) Planning permission to build a stadium 2) Ownership of the land it wants to build on 3) Money to build the stadium. Mondays statement doesn't provide or prove any of those. OK- leaving the Hive and selling/leasing it might well provide funds,...

Re: Chairman's statement

IIRC the cricket club freehold belongs to the council, the possibility of getting hold of even more council owned land on the cheap must have been quite a draw. I'm quite sure TK owns that freehold, has done for some time. That's how the cricket pitch car park was used for extra parking on match da...

Re: Chairman's statement

The Hive complex could function perfectly well without Barnet FC on-site. The stadium space could continue to be used by another club or turned into another business venture of TK's choosing. Let's remember the club itself runs at a loss. He could in theory have the best of both worlds with The Bee...

Re: Chairman's statement

The irony of Wealdstone going to a new stadium as their original choice becomes vacant would be superb... RING RING, RING RING "Hello, is that Wealdstone football club? This is Barnet football club. We have a football stadium going spare that we're not using, we've got two you see and we can o...

Re: Chairman's statement

Perhaps... my fear is that the revenue streams from new stadium are going to be nowhere near that of The Hive. I anticipate the moment Barnet FC leave the Hive another tenant will move in - London Wasps? - and we'll be more reliant on gate receipts TK won't split The Hive off and sell it, it's the ...

Re: Beadle Out

No one is saying we should be in league 1. However there was certain things said by TK that alluded to league 1 should we move to the Hive. This has frustrated fans more then anything that the club has gone backwards because/spite of the move to the Hive. The idea sold to the fans that we move to t...

The point is, we are at the lowest point for 40 years despite what’s around the club.
Don't change the subject. You said they'd never been relegated. Wrong.

And technically, they should've gone down last season as well.

Re: Beadle Out

Stevenage for example, highest finish is 6th in league 1. Never relegated. They for sure do not have the revenue creation outlets that Barnet FC is meant to have... we can only dream of ever achieving their success. Oh come on. Now I know you're not being serious! 1) Stevenage who are currently in ...
