Re: Bring Barnet Back - campaign thread

What are the general feelings about this at the moment? I hear some say it is done deal - we are coming home, and others quite the opposite. Are people optimistic, pessimistic or realistic? I see Man Utd have an aim to win the league in 2028. Do we have a target date in mind when those of us who liv...

Some clubs have mascots visible throughout the game

That is also a good answer!
Many times the grass is not greener on the other side. Managers move and their next job is less successful.

For them maybe better the devil you know.

Re: Fylde £5 ticket offer

We had nearly 1,000 more than we would have had without the promotion, so all in all a success. 1000 * £5 is better than 0 * £22. The question is how many of those who paid a fiver would have paid full whack anyway and i guess how much extra money was taken at the bar, food hut and club shop from t...

Re: Fylde £5 ticket offer

The promotion seemed to be a success. It was a busy stand. Now to follow up with more promotions and capitalise on this. I wouldn't care if they charged a fiver/tenner for the rest of the season. It is nice to see so many faces. I know season ticket holders have paid more, but that is a sunk cost t...

Re: AFC Fylde (Hive) The Hive for a Fiver? Frack Yes! Match Thread

We have quite a special team at the moment. A joy to watch. The team is so comfortable on the ball. Still felt nervous until the second goal but it is really enjoyable at the Hive.

Re: Ex-Bees (2014 update)

Ross Jenkins replaced Sam Cox as manager of Oxford City. I wonder if Sam Cox will get to replace Matt Taylor as the 85%-ers manager?! Without wishing Matt Taylor to be dismissed, Wealdstone should have given Sam an opportunity to stay on after keeping them up and brought in Matt Taylor or whoever i...

Here's hoping the pitch holds up after the recent rain and the promotion and team are successes tomorrow.

Football club tweets and facebook posts

I have just been looking at social media posts from football clubs from Barnet and Tottenham. Facebook is invariably spammed with top tipsters and virus infected match commentaries. On both platforms, responses are often vile and abusive or just plain stupid and pointless. Do the clubs somehow benef...

Will the figure include those who are Wealdstone Fans who masquerade as Barnet fans either to come on this board, throw orange flares and those who wish they were Barnet fans?
