Re: Thu 26 June midday EFL fixtures
Anyone clever enough to stick it on a dvd so we can watch it on the coach to Flyde if coaches even have such a thing now!

Re: Thu 26 June midday EFL fixtures
As already mentioned, the relegation of Bristol Rovers from Division One was confirmed yesterday so we can look forward to facing them again.
Rovers have had a miserable last few months which saw them slip with grim inevitability into the relegation zone.
A rare positive was the form of Gatlin O’Donkor who was briefly on loan with us last season.
I’m a lifelong Bees fan exiled in Bristol and can advise that their vast army of fans are despondent regarding their prospects in Division Two.
We cannot take anything for granted, but it would be great to beat them again as I remember we did a few years ago in the FA Cup when John Still was in charge.

I suppose I have to say Chesterfield away for me ( should they not go up!) .... nice and local! Looking forward to playing walking football with Chesterfield Senior Spirites this morning whilst sporting my Barnet FC Champions T shirt !

You will have to arrange a match between the two sides if you haven't already played. You can play one half for each team.Chesterfield Bee wrote: ↑01 May 2025, 08:24 I suppose I have to say Chesterfield away for me ( should they not go up!) .... nice and local!

Re: Thu 26 June midday EFL fixtures
This is interesting but it looks like because English teams doing so well in Europe this season we could be forced into a preliminary round, as lowest ranked, of the Carabao cup (think it’s only happened 2 or 3 times in 20 years)

Re: Thu 26 June midday EFL fixtures
Just our luck! God I hope we get a home draw, or else the oh-so glamorous curtain-raiser for our return to the big time could be a Tuesday night trek to Halifax or Accrington when the schools have barely broken up!PBBee wrote: ↑02 May 2025, 22:00 This is interesting but it looks like because English teams doing so well in Europe this season we could be forced into a preliminary round, as lowest ranked, of the Carabao cup (think it’s only happened 2 or 3 times in 20 years)

So 50% chance we'd be knocked out before the competition even properly starts.
I suppose we'd have to treat it as a PSF.

Re: Thu 26 June midday EFL fixtures
Especially as rounds 1 & 2 are usually regionalised but currently it will be Barnet, Accrington, Newport & the winner of the play-offs! So all miles away - really hope it’s a home game.Tuesds wrote:Just our luck!

On a Barnet wattsapp group someone said this would only happen IF Newcastle did not finish in top6?
