If you're happy being fed bollox and then asking for seconds, then good for you Michael, but don't get all defensive when pertinent questions are asked.
For example, the pricing of the tickets is neither here nor there. They are priced and they will sell.....the pro's and con's of the scheme in irrelevant to fans like yourself who will pay to watch the game regardless.
What is important though is and I especially refer to fans who have followed this club through various guises, what is the long term plan for the club?
Even the announcement that we were at the Hive was not crystal clear as to the duration of the arrangement. It pointed to a shift in responsibilities in Year 2,with a further option of more involvement in year 3? This smacks of TK not wanting a ing thing to do with us at the end of the 1st or even 2nd year if we aren't at the top table.
Now, forgive me for caring about the clubs future rather than the instant gratification you so widely applaud, but all that has happened here is a bad decision was made when we said we were moving and we essentially painted ourselves into a corner, whereby, the Hive was the only option we had.

Hey, I get it. 13 Match-days at the Hive is great news for you and you can get your fix of top flight Rugby League, but when it all ends in tears.....and make no mistake Michael, it will end in tears, then you'll be asking, where did it all go wrong. And I'll tell you....it went wrong on the 14th of January 2011 when we handed control of the club to an inept sports administrator who had overseen downturns in his previous roles and who, it looks very much like, has totally destroyed the Club that a lot of us actually hold dear to our hearts.

Enjoy the Hive....I suspect we'll see the usual surge (lol...surge) of interest before it won't matter what membership you've bought, you'll be able to sit where you want!

Have a look at (not sure if direct link will work) www.footballgroundguide.com/barnet/ which provides a guide to the ground, access to beer at the ground and suggests a couple of pubs.

gutters!!
what is the point in me whining about summat that apparently happened in 2011!
as I have said before its gone! what will happen will happen.
For someone who cares so much about the future you spend an awful lot of time spouting on about the past!
If you are proved right at the end of the year then you can sit and gloat happily.
If you are proved wrong then I am sure you will be predicting doom and gloom for the following season so either outcome you will be happy mate.

1. The point is, if you don't question the motives and plans for the future, then you have little recourse to enquire why the hell it all ended in tears.
2. I started telling the club that they were inept in 2002.....I have been proven right at nearly every turn, but have little intention of ever gloating about being right!
3. If I am proven wrong I will be the first to put my hand up and say I was wrong. I was 27% out regarding the attendance at RLWC and have happily put my hand up (with no mention of tickets for a fiver )
4. I care about the London Broncos because I care about RL in the Capital, as well as in the UK......it's because I care that I get passionate about it. If it was about standing their politely applauding I'd have stuck to Union.......but I refuse to sit by idly and watch the club being stripped of everything that made it worth supporting.

Go fishing on the lake out the back GF!! take a breath will you

One question? if it all ends in tears as you predict! who are you gonna whine too?

And I am not sitting idly by! I am putting my hand in my pocket and supporting the club by turning up to watch em play!!!!

I don't like a lot of the negativety, but, sadly, I find it hard to argue with a lot of what G'fax says, in fact he says a lot of stuff I've said myself.

Advertising, Marketing, Merchandising and PR is a disaster.

I will support the club through thick and thin (and even thinner, lmao) and will attend the Hive (actually easier for me with my Tube Staff Pass and the Stoop being a b'stad of a place to get to).

Heres to 9th place! (Don't ask me why, but thats what my money is on!).

I don't think any of us disagree. But it's all been said and we are where we are now. Its time to move on and support the team for as long as we have one. Who knows whats round the corner - look at Salford. Where there's life there's hope. When we can't see top grade RL in London we will all be browned off so lets enjoy what we have while we have it.

Its all too late in the day but a string of announcements about player signings (up to them to deliver), ticket info, training ground sorted, positive comments about the office staff, an open day, a fans forum (couple of seasons late). Progress of sorts.

Just need an announcement of a extra players including a couple of scary props, a new kit.

And bags of optimism, though 12th will be a miracle at this point.

That's Wellington Harbour....turn left on the way out and it is the Pacific, right it's the Tasman


Gus can run, but he can't hide

If the yanks can refer to the Atlantic as a pond then thats a lake...

Think I'm going to stick to the odd walk up ticket next year, The Stoop was about 50 mins each way in the car, but the Hive is over an hour and a half each way by car, and a bit longer by public transport. So is probably doubling journey time. I usually take one or both of my kids with me (to give the wife some peace) but dragging them that far is not fun. It will be interesting to see what happens, whether Barnet FC can attract some new fans, as I'm not convinced Edgware is better connected to serve the diaspora that is our fan base unless you are handy for the Jubilee Line.

Building nicely

Largely my thoughts.

I did some quick calculations yesterday. Because of the joining fee, it still works out cheaper if I go to 9 home games next year and pay on the gate, than it would be to get membership (if I stand in one of the stands behind the sticks).

It's also worth remembering that, and I think this is correct, if you stop your membership at any point and then restart it again, you have to pay another joining fee.

I think the membership model is quite clever from a business perspective, but it's not one I'll be indulging in since I am highly unlikely to watch at least a quarter of our matches. I'm not going to bother watching us play the likes of Wigan or Warrington. I've seen quite enough of us being stuffed by 50, 60 points and fail to see how any of that will change in 2014 given the squad we're putting together.
