Unofficial Halesowen Town FC Forum

Problem being I’d imagine the rescheduled game will be a Tuesday night, and I bet we don’t take 8 coaches on a Tuesday.

The bees game was called off on Thursday so may not be a true reflection of the pitch today. Lets see if they play Tuesday. The forecast for Harrow keeps changing. It was 48 hours of rain for Friday and Saturday when I looked yesterday. Today it shows light rain with sun interspersed.......

Why Harrow specifically?

Why Harrow? The Barnet ground has a Harrow postcode HA8 6AG

Oh I see. Harrow itself is about 11 mike's away so that's why I was confused

The new ground is actually quite far out of Barnet now - something like 7 miles, which I think is probably about an hour's travel in London traffic!

Everyone pray for sunshine between now and then!

Some folks must be hedging their bets on the ticket buying with these weather forecasts. I don't think the front 3 rows in the one block were ever on sale so I reckon about 325 have been sold so far. That's far less than even the 8 coach capacity.

I got mine online nearly a week ago. Had the go ahead from my mates to buy 5 tickets. Out of the 5 of us it looks like I'll be the only one going to a re arranged fixture. I'm praying it's on but the Barnet fans seem certain it won't (going by the forecast) . #prayforsun

Speaking as a Bees fan I desperately want the game to go ahead on Saturday. With your travelling support I would reckon the attendance would be around 1800/2000. If the game is played on a Tuesday you will lose 1000 or so spectators. Big crowds mean a good atmosphere and both teams will respond to that.
I am sure both clubs want the game to go ahead on Saturday, neither club wants fixture congestion, but the truth is it is in the lap of the weather Gods.
A lot will depend on whether tonight's fixture goes ahead and, if it does, whether the rain holds off. I'm sure you Yeltz fans will be keeping half an eye on our fixture tonight against Dagenham. Like you we have a vibrant and well-used Forum (Only Barnet), so log in to that if you haven't already. Bees fans say what they see and you will get the truth on, not just our pitch issues, but many other topics.
Good luck in your game tonight, seems like it is definitely going ahead, fingers crossed for our game.

Happy to switch Saturday's game to the Grove
