The Hive - Real Prospect? : Mon Jun 10, 2013 8:58 pm
I am a more than infrequent poster on this forum despite being another longstanding bedraggled season ticket holder. I happened upon the rumour about the move to The Hive. I am actually a Barnet FC fan and a local so this works very well for me and with a baby on the way may be the only thing that motivates me to renew. Like many I vow year upon year not too. That said, I see very little opportunity to market the game in the local area. The residents of Barnet / Harrow are apathetic at best and Canons Park really is in the middle of nowhere, with the undelights of Edgware up the road. The Saracens have sucked all the marketing out of the local area, having spent lots of money in the local area and with a council that screwed over Barnet FC. It will be strange to see my two favourite losing teams in one venue. On the plus side, Canons Tandoori round the corner from the ground is one of the finest Indian restaurants around!
