Re: Welcome Thread - Introduce Yourself
Thanks BB We have received monthly newsletters with the offers and the team is written up in the Stanmore local magazine. Problem is residents around Canons Park are a bit anti Barnet and the local MP Bob Blackman wants the team out of Harrow because of 'floodlights shining in local houses' . His sidekick told me this when they were campaigning at the election recently.

Re: Welcome Thread - Introduce Yourself
Having been viewing this board for a long time I've finally registered. There appears to be a format to be adhered to in this bit so here goes...
Location: New Barnet
How many years following the Bees: Saw first game over forty-odd years ago - the cup replay v QPR, regular since 1991
Which Stand: The South Terrace these days (I still like my football standing up.!!)
All Time Favourite Player: Kenny Lowe, but it might have been Luisma if he'd stayed longer...
All Time Favourite Manager: Mmm, if Barnet did those banners of former managers like Liverpool do then I suppose the “Fathers of our Success" would be Dexter Adams, Barry Fry, Paul Fairclough and, er...well, the jury's still out on the fourth, isn't it.!? I did like a lot of the football we played in the all too brief Dutch era tho'
Best Memory: So many, but Bradford away on a cold January day in 2011 sticks out, as does winning 2-1 from 1-0 down at Peterborough in 1999. Oh, and cheering an away win at Halifax while in a TV shop in Wood Green Shopping City in 1992.!!
Worst memory: So many, but relegation to Torquay at home and away at Northampton...oh, and Kelly Haag just failing to stretch his leg out enough at Chelsea in the cup.
Other Sports you watch: Er, not many but I have been known to go out of my way to see a top class bike race pass by
Hobbies: As I once said in reply to this question in a work related interview...many and varied.!!
Cheers, come on you Bees.!!

Re: Welcome Thread - Introduce Yourself
Location: South Harrow
How many years following the Bees: Saw Barnet 4 - 7 Crewe in 1991, but in terms of actually actively following the team, 5 months. Before this, I was a regular at The Arsenal, but they have priced me out and pushed me into the arms of Barnet FC. My 8 year-old daughter can now support her local team and enjoys doing so.
All Time Favourite Player: Andy Yiadom.
All Time Favourite Manager: Lack of experience leads me to say Martin Allen
Best Memory: The ten-man win over Bristol Rovers was very satisfying.
Worst memory: The FA Cup game against Newport was not a good experience
Other Sports you watch: Cricket
Hobbies: Music, Family, Books
