View From Barnet

[N20 Blade]

Well done Barnet and your proper fans, especially those who went. The sad thing is I live 20 minutes walk from their old ground and I only know one family who support Barnet near me. At the schools it's all Arsenal, Spurs but also Man Utd, Liverpool, in fact you're more likely to see Real Madrid shirts than Barnet ones. It's such a shame that a local club has been left to shrink and that yesterday's win will have so little impact in the local area. Anyway once again I'm delighted for them and their loyal, loyal fans. Congratulations for respecting the Cup.

Barnet fan here.


What a brilliant day we all had.... 1000 Bees singing our hearts out. It really is a treat to come to a great stadium like yours for Barnet. Very gracious comments from united fans and great to see so many enjoy our celebrations at the end. Outside the away end many united fans were all congratulating us and could see what it means to a small club like ours . We genuinely have no FA cup pedigree we always go out in the first round so this was such a fantastic result. Darren Currie has been a breath of fresh air and is allowing players to show what they can do . Fingers crossed we get a big draw and not Accrington away.... Again we've never played a Premier team in the FA CUP so we are all praying for the dream draw.

We had a great day out at a big stadium and everyone from the stewards to Sheffield united fans were class.

Can't argue with any of those comments. They played really well and fully deserved the win.

Barnet might overtake Charlton as my new favourite London club.

Can't argue with any of their comments and nice to see supporters celebrating their own well deserved success rather than gloating at the failure of others.

Fair play to Barnet, fully deserved to be clapped off by us...They wanted it our reserves did not...Some of the players today won't be at the club much longer reading into Chris's comments...Well done Barnet go all the way and win it.....We concentrate on promotion now but no excuse for our players that started today...Thanks Roy love these posts of yours

“Sheffield have only lost once to non league and that was to Altrincham so in their fans words has the potential to be the most embarrassing in their history”

This is not quite right, as when we lost to Spurs in 1901 we became the first and only league team to lose an FA Cup final to a non-league team as they were then in the Southern League.
