I'm a bit confused. If the EFL are saying the game will take place week commencing 4th August why are we saying on here that it can take place a week earlier? I think what people are saying is that it would make sense to play it a week earlier. And the fact that we have cancelled our friendly on th...

I received this by email yesterday. It's very well compiled, but I was left thinking that Barnet Council would probably prefer houses to a football stadium on the site. The Labour Government have said that they want to build 1.5 million new homes, and for that to happen they will need to use green ...

I don't think consistency is really the issue - it's more about courtesy, both to supporters (keeping us informed) and to pay tribute to the player for their service (not always appropriate, but certainly so in this case) and wish them well for the future. I do think that Ade's departure should hav...

Joe Grimwood’s departure to Chelmsford - announced just now - IS on there though … how weird and inconsistent. Maybe there should have been a news story on the website re Oluwo. However, it is not inconsistent that we should publish a story about selling one of our players while not doing so in res...

That commentary will be from when he stepped up to take the decisive penalty in the EFL Trophy Final shootout for Pompey vs Sunderland in 2019, in front of over 85,000

Is the cancellation of the friendly directly linked to the cup game 10 days later? Im confused The club haven’t said so, so I might be wrong to assume the cancellation is linked to the League Cup, but when a preliminary round was last played it happened on the weekend before 1st league game, and yo...

Let's hope that we are allowed to play it the Saturday 26th July as it still seems strange we would cancel a friendly because a of game 10 days later. Had look on Newport site and as far as I can see they currently DON'T HAVE a psf on that date . Guess sky will have a say in it though Meanwhile Acc...

Adam Marriott rejoins King’s Lynn Town

Some brilliant points being made on the comments section of the BBC article about the preliminary round - this being an example … Marcy73 18:19 There’s me thinking 2 prem clubs would have to play 1st round.That would have made more sense. 1st Round 72 efl + 2 epl=37 winners 2nd round 9 remaining ep...

We are playing Newport. Venue TBD on the day of the draw.

Got to be in it to win it!

I wish we were in it! Instead we’re only in it if we win a preliminary round match first - “Welcome to the EFL!”

While it may be unavoidable, I hope they’re going to offer some decent prize money for all participants in the preliminary round as compensation for refusing them full entry into the EFL’s own competition and for the knock-on effects on pre-season preparation, the possible travel & accommodation...

Barnet first team training goalkeeper for 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons, Ben Gamage, looking for a club step 5 or above. I love how obscure this thread can get though once a bee always a bee. I am waiting on news such as barmaid in Pav gets a job in the Mitre. I can confirm Beverley Bacon's son in la...

I find this moralistic reprimanding of someone who was excellent for us for two seasons and was out of contract frankly weird. He wasn’t in our 1st choice XI (next cab off the rank after Kenlock, Collinge, Tavares), and with another 2 centre backs already signed he may have been told he’ll find it e...

I can’t begrudge him leaving but I wish it wasn’t to the most plastic club in the entire Football League. If I was to be told 6 weeks ago that two out of our three out of contract players would be staying, I wouldn’t have guessed him to be the one leaving. How many other players have scored on thei...

Oluwo’s best position for us was in the centre of the back three. We’ve got Tavares and Kensdale in place for that position, and both of them will be a match for any more physical centre forwards in League Two. For those worried about the loss of Oluwo’s height, Kensdale is of similar stature. Obvio...
