Former Barnet mayor Brian Coleman's contempt for the club is such that he wrote after it's relegation: “If I had the power I would be ordering that the Church bells in Barnet be rung in celebration of the relegation of Barnet FC... Forget a return to Barnet, no politician and few residents are going to want a repeat of the last 15 years. Thank you and Hallelujah!”

Eastleigh manager Richard Hill blamed 'total incompetence from the official' for his side's 3-1 play-off loss to Dover last night.
