Re: Wealdstone (Hive) The Trolling Stones Match Thread

I was feeling very frustrated (and a little panicked) immediately after the game today, but on reflection I think we need to put things in perspective a bit. We still have a healthy six-point lead and only need seven more points to mathematically guarantee the title. Our next three games are against...

Re: Project 1000 (106.6%!) - Bring Barnet Back

I'd be surprised. The council are totally broke and have resorted to cutting vital council tax support for very low earners within the borough. I can't see them offering up £10 million to develop the site, whilst pursuing penniless residents through the courts for non payment. I'm not sure I unders...

Re: The "good" old days?

Re: Project 1000 (106.6%!) - Bring Barnet Back

Remembering 2002, a change in control of the council to Tory next year is what I’m worried about. That would obviously be a disaster, and people do often use local elections as a chance to give incumbent governments a bit of a kicking. But in TK's initial statement he mentioned that he had been pla...

Re: Project 1000 (106.6%!) - Bring Barnet Back

An appeal can be made against planning permission not being granted but not the other way round. One thing worth mentioning is that it's the local elections next year. The results of this could go either way but a change in administration could potentially change things..... Seems you've just answe...

Re: Project 1000 (106.6%!) - Bring Barnet Back

Let’s have some positivity and optimism. Firstly heart felt thanks to the Back to Barnet lads and lassies for doing such a great job. Secondly thank you to all those supporters, friends, families, businesses and residents who have supported our move back to Barnet. The clubs planning consultants wo...

It would be great to hit the 1200 mark by the close of play - not too far away from doing so, 1150 now.

In perhaps equally significant news as breaking the 1000 mark, the Barnet Residents Association confirm their support here: https://barnetresidentsassociation.org.uk/news/bra-view-underhill-stadium A couple of positive comments at the foot of the article would be most welcome!

Re: Project 1000 (76.2%) - Bring Barnet Back Petition

Interesting comment from the Barnet Society which although critical of aspects of the application would support it if those concerns are addressed and also states that the current site is not well-used and is an ecological desert. This seems like a pretty fair and balanced analysis, from someone wh...

Re: Project 1000 (65.7%) - Bring Barnet Back Petition

If Mr Harry Gluck (or someone who knows him) is on here, it looks like he's accidentally submitted an objection rather than a comment in support! Presumably there's a way this can be rectified, though I'm not sure what it is.

Re: Project 1000 (65.7%) - Bring Barnet Back Petition

Good to see the lead extended from around 200 a week or so ago to over 300. Can we reach the magic 1,000? Touch and go at the moment. Great to see some familiar names from the original Underhill days still trickling in. With reluctance to single out individuals, there are a few names from the origi...

Re: Project 1000 (50.6%) - Bring Barnet Back Petition

One thing that puzzles me in our quest to reach 1000 supportive comments on the LB Barnet planning portal. There are nearly 1,200 people who have joined the 2 WhatsApp groups, yet we only have just broken the 500 comments ? The numbers do not make sense ? Why join this group if you are not going to...

Re: Project 1000 (49.7%) - Bring Barnet Back Petition

I made a visit to the playing field this afternoon and had a good walk around. As expected no-one was using the field whatsoever in spite of it being a nice sunny day. Playground was packed and artifical pitches, but the field is a dead space. People were walking on the margin concrete paths as a m...
