The original underhill had quite a slope in a number of directions before some substantial realignment by Barnet. Indeed there are worse grounds than the current layout some still in the FL but on the basis of photos and website (it's all I've seen) the Hive gives Barnet far more opportunity to prosper in the medium term.

Quote: meliferra "Slope is about 2 metres from one end to the other, can't see it making much odds for Rugby.

This may give you a better idea. tbh despite what Tre says I would still happily swap playing at the Hive for Underhill and I have been to plenty worse grounds than ours.


A 2m slope makes a massive difference in 'rugby'. Youre not the only person in the world who knows who Barnet FC are or who's been to Underhill but thanks for trying to educate us all.

And your tone is abrasive, but hey we all have our problems. I claim no knowledge of Rugby league or Broncos but being a Barnet fan means I am entitled to know a bit about my own team and where they play.

To be honest with you, when you posted your insults about my teams home ground I found it very hard to remain polite. It's true I look at Underhill with rose coloured glasses, it means a lot to me, I have no attachment to the Hive and this is true of most fans I know with a fair number still refusing to go to the new ground.

I'm sorry if you don't like my tone. Considering how little information you are getting from Broncos I thought some might appreciate passing on whatever I can. It's clear you know the area and according to twitter recently visited the Hive, so anything I say is nothing new to you. If you find my tone so offensive then why not use the foe option to block me rather than let it get to you.

Well said. I too am very nostalgic about Underhill. But you can't expect a Broncos fan to understand as they've never owned their own ground! I hope the likes of Tre won't put you off sampling the RL at the Hive. Most of my fellow Bees are keen on giving it a go.

Keep posting the info Meliferra, Tre' be cool dude.

To be honest when it was first announced that Barnet were seeking a new home I felt we shoulda made some sort of offer for Underhill, only been there a coupla times, but I like it, but then I don't like these new characterless "flat-pack" grounds, nor do I give a hoot about this access, that access, baby-changing facilities, seats and the like. I'm only there for 2 hrs or so ffs!

The broncos have played at some rough places as well over the years. Some of the negativity on this board considering the club has just been saved a short time ago is ridiculous. If any Bees fans are thinking of coming to games please ignore them. RL is a great game and if we can get a competitive team together you will enjoy yourselves. icon_biggrin.gif

I've been to Underhill and it is a poor ground these days. However thanks for the info on the Hive, most of us seem to appreciate it.

Echo that! The Hive looks like a cracking venue, looking forward to our first game there - would be more than happy for any Bees fans remotely curious about Rugby League to join us, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Maybe if you've seen some of the RLWC games on TV and enjoyed them why not come along and watch a game in the flesh?

Lets hope we get off to a good start at home as we will probably get quite a few new people down for a first look.

Exhibit A

Given I posted the prices and scenarios for pricing together with a linkrlhttps://www.barnetfc.com/news/article/bees-membership-scheme-814533.aspxrl the poster in question could actually have adopted a more consultative and helpful tone rather than his "you don't understand".

Hey, I'm surrounded by glass panels and I'm hardly going to start chucking rocks, but TC does have a point.

You're right Gutterfax. I don't deny my faults and overreacted because you had told people their season ticket could be over £700. I was trying to encourage people to come to the Hive rather than scare them off. Believe me if we started talking about planning and leases then there is plenty enough to frighten people.

I should and could have phrased it better and I am sorry for being so abrupt in my response. My intention was to challenge the inaccuracy and highlight the correct figures.

I don't intend to post on here any more seeing as my responses have upset some but it would be great if some Bronco fans joined up with the Barnet forum to keep the communication flowing. We have a thread on there covering questions about RL which most of us seem to be in the dark about. They are fairly minor questions like how is there going to be reviews as the Hive has no scoreboard.

I still intend to go to a couple of games and wish you all the best.

So it is not possible to spend £700+ on the White Rose option? I never said in my post that everyone would spend that much...I even showed how, if you picked and chose, you could see all the matches for £180 a year.

Not sure how my pot was designed to put people off attending the Hive?

Quote: meliferra "Believe me if we started talking about planning and leases then there is plenty enough to frighten people.'"

We are well aware of the planning dance et al being conducted between the council, residents and Hive/Barnet. Whilst worrying, they are again, not enough to put people off attending SL games at the Hive.

No need to apologise and as for the correct figures......well done, but I still say that the club(s) should have been in a position to do this rather than for it all to come out in an internet forum...
