we actually pulled it off and the club is staying at underhill. i cant believe how much energy everyone put into this but the council finally listened. keep an eye on things going forward to make sure they follow through on their side of the deal.

What makes this situation for my beloved Bees even more harrowing is the fact that rugby club Saracens have been given Cophtall Stadium for free in the borough of Barnet while Barnet FC are made to pay a “ridiculously high fee” for Underhill and the land and car park surrounding it. The Barnet chairman Tony Kleanthous has talked many times about this issue and he stated in his most recent outburst at the council’s handling of the situation that "People on the council side have spoken about their commitment to Barnet FC and have said the council have no site for the club to build a stadium on... yet they have given a free site to a rugby club which has no connection with the borough of Barnet and turned their backs on its own community club which has been in the area for more than 100 years!"
Underhill might not be the most modern or even the best stadium but it is the one that EVERY Bees fan has an attachment to. If we are kicked out of Underhill, this could possibly spell the end for the club or have to relocate out of the borough of Barnet, much like what happened to Wimbledon fans when they were relocated to MK Dons. No matter who you are, please sign this petition to keep Barnet at Underhill for the foreseeable future and YOU can help keep by signing and recommending people to sign and if you sign, you could help to save the future of Barnet FC, Underhill and to keep the club at the heart of the community!
Petition created by Josh Ilan, Sam Emmett and Zach Cooper and thanks to everyone else who has helped with the creation and support for the petition!

im still waiting on a real answer from the council about these lease terms and its getting beyond frustrating. the silence from them is loud but it just shows we need to keep pushing because this club belongs at underhill.

Absolute joke how the council treats the club compared to saracens. Real shame.
COYBs! Underhill forever.
Underhill is home. Been going for 20 years and cant imagine the bees anywhere else. Leave our stadium alone!
If we move out of barnet it wont be barnet fc anymore. simple as that. hope the council wakes up before it is too late.
The heart of the local community. Dont kill it off for money.
Yay move back!

So sick of the council making it impossible for the club to survive. Stop the madness.
