Carlisle (H) Saturday 6th January
Keep an eye out for the result of Carlisle's FA Cup replay against Gillingham. If they get through then this league fixture will be postponed as the winners will be hosting Sheffield Wed in round 3 that weekend.

How sad that we don't have an FA Cup tie. Just the grind to try and survive in League 2.
Re: Carlisle (H) Saturday 6th January
AFC drawing Spurs at Wembley made me sad, as Barnet has never played at Wembley in my lifetime. Statistically we're now at a stage in the clubs league history where we stand the *best chance of playing at Wembley*.ETBee wrote:How sad that we don't have an FA Cup tie.

We have the play off final, League Cup (drawing Spurs), FA Cup (drawing Spurs), Checkatrade.
Statistically, I expect that the FA Trophy when we won the league was our best bet (we were bloody favourites until Mad Dog played the kids). In the Conference we would be strong contenders for play off final / FA Trophy. Do we have to get relegated for me to see us play there?!
Over 2/3rds of the 92 league clubs have played at the New Wembley, it's 45 years since we played at the old one. I've seen us reach 4 play-offs. We should have converted one of them into a final. We were close against Blackpool, Shrewsbury.
Come on Barnet, please, just do this before I disappear off this planet... just once.
Chelsea are scheduled to play their home games at Wembley next year. If you believe in fairytales, we'll get them in the FA Cup next year. Then follow up a losing appearance with winning the play offs. In League 2.
I don't ask for much. Except for the club to take cup games seriously.
Re: Carlisle (H) Saturday 6th January
I couldn't care less about AFC Wimbledon's fixtures or who we might play in next season's F A Cup. As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather we continue to play at L2 grounds next season than we get to the new Wembley - seeing as at the moment, our best chance of achieving that seems to be in the F A Trophy. Also that we don't start our FA Cup run next season in the 4th qualifying round.MCB wrote:AFC drawing Spurs at Wembley made me sad, as Barnet has never played at Wembley in my lifetime.

Martin Allen never took cup games seriously. Rossi took the match at Blackburn seriously. We were just beaten by a L1 team away, who quite predictably happened to be better than us.

It is looking more and more likely that the FA Trophy will be our fixture list next season

Re: Carlisle (H) Saturday 6th January
I liked the post MCB
I too would love to see us there. I was 5 back in 1972 and inexplicably was left at home whilst my dear departed Dad and his mates went to the game. It'll happen one day, it bloody has to!!

Re: Carlisle (H) Saturday 6th January
Replay off tonight, if they can't fit it in next week replay will have to be on 3rd round day!
Re: Carlisle (H) Saturday 6th January
Not having much luck this season are we?
Personally I think it would be better if it was off after the hectic festive schedule and we can put all our attention on to signing a couple of decent players especially a defensive midfielder.

Re: Carlisle (H) Saturday 6th January
If we do make early signings in January, that extra weekend off might be a blessing and give them time to train properly with the squad. On the other hand it's another week where teams around us could pick up points and drop us further behind, should the Xmas results not be brilliant. I'd sooner have points next to our name than games in hand.

Re: Carlisle (H) Saturday 6th January
Yes but that presumes we'll bear Carlisle. Better the match in hand than the lost points.

Yep, it's been confirmed, it's postponed.
