Bees make Underhill request
Friday 2 December 2011 16:06, UK
Barnet have asked the Football League to start next season at their Underhill ground - even if they do not finish there.
The League Two club are at loggerheads with Barnet Council, who were unable to assure they will be licensed to use the ground for the whole of the 2012/13 campaign. Barnet therefore applied to the League for permission to stay for least half of the season while the club consider their options. Bees director Graham Slyper told the club website: "The situation is serious and not of our doing. "The stark reality is that as a consequence of unresolved ground differences with the council, Barnet FC face the prospect of a reduced footprint next season and an end to their 100-plus years' residence of their spiritual home."
