The original underhill had quite a slope in a number of directions before some substantial realignment by Barnet. Indeed there are worse grounds than the current layout some still in the FL but on the basis of photos and website (it's all I've seen) the Hive gives Barnet far more opportunity to prosper in the medium term.

This may give you a better idea. tbh despite what Tre says I would still happily swap playing at the Hive for Underhill and I have been to plenty worse grounds than ours. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gEMFxd0fWk It will also give you an idea of what kind of chairman TK is. A 2m slope makes a massive difference in 'rugby'. Youre not the only person in the world who knows who Barnet FC are or who's been to Underhill but thanks for trying to educate us all.

And your tone is abrasive, but hey we all have our problems. I claim no knowledge of Rugby league or Broncos but being a Barnet fan means I am entitled to know a bit about my own team and where they play.

To be honest with you, when you posted your insults about my teams home ground I found it very hard to remain polite. It's true I look at Underhill with rose coloured glasses, it means a lot to me, I have no attachment to the Hive and this is true of most fans I know with a fair number still refusing to go to the new ground.

I'm sorry if you don't like my tone. Considering how little information you are getting from Broncos I thought some might appreciate passing on whatever I can. It's clear you know the area and according to twitter recently visited the Hive, so anything I say is nothing new to you. If you find my tone so offensive then why not use the foe option to block me rather than let it get to you.

Well said. I too am very nostalgic about Underhill. But you can't expect a Broncos fan to understand as they've never owned their own ground! I hope the likes of Tre won't put you off sampling the RL at the Hive. Most of my fellow Bees are keen on giving it a go.

Re: Training Ground : Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:01 pm  

Keep posting the info Meliferra, Tre' be cool dude.

To be honest when it was first announced that Barnet were seeking a new home I felt we shoulda made some sort of offer for Underhill, only been there a coupla times, but I like it, but then I don't like these new characterless "flat-pack" grounds, nor do I give a hoot about this access, that access, baby-changing facilities, seats and the like. I'm only there for 2 hrs or so ffs!

The broncos have played at some rough places as well over the years. Some of the negativity on this board considering the club has just been saved a short time ago is ridiculous. If any Bees fans are thinking of coming to games please ignore them. RL is a great game and if we can get a competitive team together you will enjoy yourselves.

I've been to Underhill and it is a poor ground these days. However thanks for the info on the Hive, most of us seem to appreciate it.
