Quoted from promotion plaice

No one ever said it was easy following Town.

True ,"Grips my excrement!" People with laptops with nothing better to do.
A two fingered hand jesture comes to mind first used in Agincourt!!
I get a subtle dig from my lot when i go to BP = "That's a waste of petrol" or " Expensive Fish & Chips!"

They say the table never lies, and that one certainly doesn’t.

We went from being a really well run club punching above it’s weight in the eighties and nineties, to becoming a footballing disaster this century.

It’s a damming stat that highlights the fact that we’ve been one of the worst efl clubs for the last 20 years . I think the fans deserve a huge pat on the back

A perfect example of why data  can be pointless and misleading . Think about it! Teams who have bad goal differences get relegated they drop down a level and there goal difference improves . By restricting this to the top 4 league you are ignoring our performance in the league we dropped down . We have dropped to level 5 twice in the period and if our seven seasons in there were included the picture would be very different.including the top 4 tiers only is an arbitary cut off and it’s no coincidence that 3 of the 5 listed have fallen to tier 5 in the period Barnet like us more then once. The only suprise in this is Crewe which shows that despite there plaudits as a well run club this stat doesn’t support it.

That’s true - we have more home fans at home games and an even bigger increase at away games than 24 years ago…

That's what irks me when we have not kicked on .

The regulars + a few more have stuck with the team through thin more than thick ; I still wonder how many would jump on the bandwagon if we had a season of sustained league success ; unfortunately so far it's only ever been something we can debate rather than reality .

This is what happens when you try and run a football club as if it were a fish factory and reduce all costs to next to nothing, with no investment!
