Will all the floodlights work?

Wealdstone always built the stadium with the idea of Barnet taking it on, otherwise it wouldnt have been called The Hive. The clue was there all along.

Who will be the first to moan that the stadium will look crap on the telly, with half the Billy's staying home now in the warm rather than brave the cold?

You're all speaking like it's game over, we're 15 minutes in!

That'll be due to the number of doctors travelling on the day.

But on the subject of terraces, maybe there is an idea for a thread in its own right celebrating the old lumps of concrete we used to stsnd on, and not just limited to Underhill. As someone in their early 40's, I grew up following the team at a time when the Taylor Report was just starting to get i...

What was our last "big" club drawn in the FA Cup? Preston in the sixties? QPR in the 70s?

If you were merely judging this on fan base alone then Bristol Rovers would be the biggest we have played in the FA Cup.

Is there any truth that in honour of Underhill the school now on the site has only 8 out of every 10 lightbulbs working in each classroom?

The new elite level football fans are supporters, who use the tickets to entertain clients. Many ha...

I am yet to see Barnet lose in person this season.

Do you have insight in to the financial side of these deals or is this just guesswork?
