Gateshead away

[MCB]

I hate to break it to you MCB but if it's 6 play-offs you're thinking of plenty of play-off games that were more than 20 years ago...

Also not sure the allure of the Britannia Stadium was quite the same in 2003-04.

I know that's not true, I've a terrible memory and yet I can remember with utter clarity the Mark Carter downward header that bounced off the ground and hit the crossbar with the keeper beaten and would have given us a proper buffer against Blackpool. Maybe 22-23 years ago at a push.

It's a lot more than 22-23 years ago. I've been watching Barnet for 23 years and I've never seen him play. Per his Wiki, he played for Barnet 1991-1993.

I remember that too. It was 1992 and we 'thrashed' them 1-0 at home, should have been 3 or 4 nil. After the match Stan Flashman sacked Barry Fry and the whole team for the nth time, I believe.

And we lost Gary Poole because of it.

It was away Roy

BFC's YouTube channel usually includes footage from Away matches as well as Home matches.
Therefore, the absence of footage from our Trophy victory at Maidstone does stand out as being different. Perhaps it will arrive eventually.
However, it's not a problem - because Maidstone's YouTube channel includes footage of our win (nearly 13 minutes of footage).
COYB!

Is that the reason?

I was trying to remember what happened to him - and why the vastly underrated Ricard Huxford (og) joined us as a result.

[rudebwoyben]

That was indeed the reason. IIRC Gary Poole stood up for Barry when Flashman did this and decided to leave the club afterwards (If Flashman had sacked the team, that probably made it easier!)
Richard Huxford was a great player, shame we only had him for one season.

The gradient of the first tier at the new Wembley is shockingly bad. Feels like you're in a pit.

Definitely second or top tier for full pitch views however as it's the FA Trophy, it'll most likely be just the bottom tier open due to the (lack of) demand. Even if we bring 10,000 fans, which is dubious, the first tier would cover it from the sides next to dub outs all the way around.

Don't forget non league finals day includes the FA Vase final so the ground is usually split 4 ways with plenty of neutral fans attending too. I didn't go last season but the 2 years prior to covid I sat in the neutral section a block away from the royal box in club Wembley for about £20.

There is a young lad who has done a few very good vlogs covering Barnet, under title "the football stadium show",
He done a vlog at last year's FA Vase and Trophy final, have seen quite a few of his Vlogs and very professional, he mentioned at last year's final how for set price you can get into both finals, your find his vlogs on youtube. He covers quite a few min league clubs one of the better ones at doing this.

Didn't he score a Carlos Alberto style goal once for us?

[amberforever]

Remember that one so well. Was on the east terrace close to Huxfords shot. What a goal. Great result.
