I don't see how you can accuse anyone who supports the Mariners of being a glory hunter.


Or Barnet.

Especially when they have many more options on the doorstep than NEL residents have.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Whatever else you can say about Barnet they have only been off the top of the League for a couple of weeks during a 46 game season. That sort of consistency has earned them promotion and I don't begrudge them it one iota.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Exactly. I fully expected Rovers to go on and win it after Barnet's dodgy spell, but fair play to them, Allen got them going again and they deservedly won the title.

I used to think like this, moan about it etc, but not anymore though, I've seen sense.

I've got friends who support Man U / Arsenal / Liverpool etc, but they take their kids with them to watch Town games now, the support is lingering in the background, some support through thick and thin, the more success we have the fan base will increase I'm sure of it.

Fans shoudn't be put down for only turning up to the so called big games - who cares? As long as they turn up when they can, then it's more money for the club.

Most people have never even been to a single football game in this country. Anybody who takes the effort to go to any game should be applauded rather than sit at home watching some international conglommerate that they have picked at random as their team.

Hi,
No free tickets were given away.  The reverse was true with the last few hundred seats only being available if you paid £50 for hospitality.  

The extra crowd was a mixture of Barnet fans who rarely come due to circumstance\distance and Spurs\Arsenal fans for whom we are their second club.  It's always been the case that when we play and other north London clubs don't then we get a boost, maybe with a bit of success they might decide we are the better option.

I hope you join us in league two and sorry for jumping the queue.

Fair play to you and your fellow Bees

The league table doesn't lie...your team earned the right to automatic after 46 games and that's it. End of. Doesn't matter how many went to see you crowned champions...that won't be the issue when it comes to FL fixtures coming out in June. Just hope that we're looking out on the same day / date to see when we'll be playing each other!

That's some u-turn Woking , yesterday you were accusing anyone who's not a regular fan of being a glory hunter for just turning up at Wembley.

If we get to Wembley, we'll have plenty of glory hunters of our own
