Nuneaton
12 October
Good afternoon and
welcome to the BFCSA page.
GET WELL SOON
The Committee would like
to wish a speedy recovery to ex-committee member Alan
Springett. 43 year old Alan unfortunately suffered a
heart attack the night before the Morecambe match.
This was the first home
game he has missed for over 30 years and Forest Green the
first away game missed since Minehead in 1978 (not
including the infamous off-on again Enfield match). We
believe his record number of games is second only to
Steve Percy's and we all hope to see him back on the East
Terrace as soon as possible.
POP QUIZ
A quick thankyou to
everyone involved in putting on the Pop Quiz in aid of
the KBA funds a couple of Saturdays ago. An enjoyable
evening was had by all who attended, (thanks for coming)
and I must compliment Alex Jones on his dry-wit as
compere!
A big 'thankyou' also to
Barnet Hospital Radio for loaning the PA system.

Although I have only
been coming to Barnet as a 'grown up' for the last few
seasons I used to see Barnet as a child with various
school friends. I remember one game where the opposition
goalie had long curly hair, and some bright spark shouted
out "Oi! I was gonna get a haircut like that, but I
bought a penny-chew instead!"
As I had two left feet
the beautiful game never really appealed to me so I
decided to grow my hair like that goalie and ended up
playing drums in various groups instead. After spending
more time than I care to remember lugging said drums
round London, playing gigs to less people than Enfield FC
get, I decided to hang up my sticks, cut my hair and look
for a new hobby.
I looked no further than
Underhill. Although Barnet didn't win a game for the
remainder of the season that I started attending, I was
hooked. Throughout the following season I hardly missed a
home game and it finished with us being roundly defeated
by Peterborough in the third division play-offs.
With the smell of defeat
still fresh in my nostrils I bought my first season
ticket for the following season and haven't looked back
since. After the supporters association AGM in 2001 my
brother (Phil, who writes this page) had just joined the
committee. They mentioned that they were thinking of
setting up a website. As I have always enjoyed messing
around on computers he suggested that I might be
interested.
Before long I had also
joined the committee and started spending my evenings
developing the website. As I am married with two children
this sometimes causes a bit of friction at home - about
once a night on average.
But over the last year -
with a lot of help from Phil, and access to records that
Steve Percy (BFCSA chairman) has going back to 1965 - I
like to think that we have an interesting website that is
useful to both Barnet fans, and other football fans in
general. (There are also others who have contributed
towards it, or have pointed out inaccuracies and
omissions that I would like to take this opportunity to
thank.)
If you are interested,
our website can be found at www.bfcsa.net - it used to be
www.bfcsa.co.uk but we have changed that recently for
reasons that are too complicated to go into here.
