Barnet's Future to be discussed by Council

Barnet Football Club await the outcome of a council planning meeting on October 8th when the future of the club may be decided.

On that date Barnet Planning Committee meet to decide on a planning application submitted by chairman Tony Kleanthous on behalf of the club for new stands at the North and South ends of Underhill, for new floodlights and for improved disabled facilities. The football club need to bring their facilites up to League Two standards.

Should the plan be approved work will start on a covered South Stand - the requirement is for 2,000 covered seats at the ground - to be in place by the end of the season, plus part of the work on a covered North Stand for away supporters and much needed facilities for the disabled.

If the plan is not approved then Barnet will need to try and find another club able to share their facilities.

In the long term Barnet aim to move to a new stadium with a capacity of 10,000.
