Bees To Sell Underhill Site


In a Q&A on the club's official site, Barnet chairman Tony Kleanthous has told fans the club will seek to sell their old Underhill home.

Kleanthous tells fans that he has put £7million into the development of a stadium at their Hive training ground, and they will remain on the site until they can build a 10,000 capacity new ground 'preferably' within Barnet. He suggests that 'not enough (fans) have the appetite anymore' for the Back to Barnet campaign that started following their move to The Hive last summer.

Also in the Q&A Kleanthous calls the club's finances 'reasonably secure' but warns that 'cashflow is always difficult, particularly in the summer'. Kleanthous also calls the EPPP youth compensation deal implemented by the Premier League 'a disaster' and that they will face funding cuts to their youth department after relegation from the Football League.
