Re: Chairman's statement
http://www.downhillsecondhalf.co.uk/Mobile/Football/Attendances.aspx It is an enduring myth that attendances at the Hive are significantly lower than when we were at Underhill. It is forgotten that we were relegated the season before the move to the Hive so attendances were always going to drop. Loo...

Re: Chairman's statement
I would be overjoyed if we moved back but I can't believe it is going to be at all easy. There is likely to be some strong opposition and the Tories will be seek to take advantage of this. I only hope it does not drag the club into a blind alley that saps the resources and morale of the club with no...

Re: How to improve attendances?
The whole matchday experience is poor even when the Bees win. It's too expensive, money is tight these days. The food is shite The beer tastes like cray's piss They've closed one of the car parks and getting out now takes ages. The car park is too expensive The Club still can't be botherd to repair...

Re: Beadle Out
A bit harsh. He took over when we had virtually no players. Judging by some of the players that he has signed, he did not have much money to play with either. The season has also been disrupted by Covid with a number of players missing for key games. Having said that, some of the better performances...

Re: Official - Barnet lay off all non-playing staff
There will be numerous other clubs put at risk due to this and unless there is some sort of help, a number will undoubtedly go bust. Even at the best of times, many clubs at our level struggle to make ends meet. How do they survive when there is no money at all coming in? Part of the clubs stance ma...

Re: The fixture pileup planning thread
It's all in our own hands. Our games in hand are arguably the trickier ones on paper. Barrow, Boreham Wood and Harrogate but they are all at home. Is being at home an advantage? Heavy pitch etc doesn't suit our free flowing passing game with high energy and skill levels.. just saying. Good sides ad...

Re: Daggers (Mire) The Only Way Is Drainage Thread
This club is a joke. Self-sabotaging any play off hopes. And considering our ridiculous injury proneness, I can’t see us coping with a Tues-Thurs-Sat schedule. Come the end of the season (if it ever actually comes) I hardly think McCallum will want to join a tinpot outfit that can’t even get a game...

Re: Daggers (Mire) The Only Way Is Drainage Thread
I don't think you can blame the club for this, although some no doubt will. It seems a bit like kicking a man when he is down. Appears to have been down to the ref. There is a 3G pitch a hell of a lot closer than Sutton - Haringey Borough. Is avaiable for hire, so it says on the website. There is a...

Re: Dag & Red (Swamp) The Match Thread Looking for Ernie Mar
The ananlysis of the drainage of the pitch and what might be the reason for the current issues is most illuminating but shouldn't we, as loyal supporters, be instead hurling abuse at everything to do with the club?

Re: Farsley Celtic (away) The Diverted Match Thread
Wholesale clear outs are not a good idea as it tends to take half a season for a team of new players to gel. By this time, its normally too late to make up much lost ground. Any large influx of new players will also include some players who do not fit in/are perceived to not be good enough as well. ...

Re: Halifax (Hive) The Overdrawn Match Thread
I've seen us play two teams that are above us in the league off the park in the space of a few days without winning either game. It is very, very frustrating as we look a classy team until we get to anywhere near the oppostion goal. If we had someone who could actually stick the ball in the back of ...

Re: Currie out
Given the money spent to assemble the current bloated squad to under acheivers, you can't blame TK for this. The buck stops fair and square with the manager. DC is a good coach but may be he needs a more experienced head alongside him (no, not John Still!) Another option would be Paul Tisdale, who d...
