BFCSA Chairman
Eddie Thompson

05 July 2009

The BFCSA is pleased to announce that the committee has voted in Eddie Thompson as the new chairman.

Alex Jones was standing in, following the resignation of our previous chairman (Peter Williamson) earlier this year.

A short biography of Eddie, and his vision for the BFCSA:

My first Barnet programme dates from 1958 when I attended Underhill with my father. Hard to believe I have just completed my half century as a supporter. It is a long way from Alf and Dennis D'Arcy to the current squad. It has been a privilege to see so many fine players over the years bringing so may great memories.

The biggest difference over the half century is of course league football. In the fifties there were many senior non-league clubs in London. For Barnet still to be a leading club when so many others have disappeared or slipped into the obscurity of the lower regions of non-league football is a tribute to the dedication of so many who believe in our club.

I see BFCSA as an independent yet vital part of the club dedicated to working closely with the club chairman, directors and management. Every supporter wants to see Barnet FC continue to be a success story and I firmly believe the SA has an important role to play to ensure that the club meets with success both on and off the pitch.

Significant effort has been made over the past few years to develop a good working relationship between the SA and the club. I fully intend to work with the committee to build on this success as we strive together to give our supporters the good experience they deserve when they visit Underhill.
