Re: How do you start following Barnet?

I started life as a Spurs fan as I was born close to their ground and was lucky to see them twice in their double season. By then my family had moved to Potters Bar and as my Dad worked on a Saturday it was too great a journey for me to travel on my own. So in 1962 when I saw Barnet v Sutton United ...

Re: Tough question from the 60's

The reserves would have been unbeaten all that season had it not been for the Southall saga on the 13th April.

Further information about the 1964/65 final it was played on 10th April 1965, Barnet scorers John Wortley 2 Barry Weightman 1. If anybody has a programme from the end of the previous season it should record the result of the previous challenge cup.

Re: Geoff Stokes passed away this morning

Sorry to hear this.

I will let others know who knew Geoff.

Re: A little light reading for the close season: Roots To Th

I can sympathise, currently I have visited 110 grounds but only 63 are in current use in the football league. The first ground to disappear was the White City where I saw QPR play Bristol Rovers in 1963.

I look forward to reading your book.
