Our new Road to Wembley boys take on Swindon Town away on Saturday on 3rd Round day. Here are some little known facts on Barnet:- Previous managers have included Alan Mullery, Tony Cottee, Ray Clemence and Barry Fry
- Previous players included Eddie Newton, Brian Marwood (on the wing), Alan Pardew and Jimmy Greaves (on the sauce!)
- Team colours are Amber & Black
- Record home crowd is 11,026 in 1952 against Wycombe.
- Their club crest has the green hill of High Barnet and the red rose, white rose and crossed swords representing the 1471 Battle of Barnet, a pivotal battle in the Wars of the Roses.
- Formed in 1888 but have spent all but 13 years in the non-league game.
- The ground is actually on Pricklers Hill, Underhill is a few blocks away from the ground
- An old bar still operates at the back of the home terrace facing the pitch.
- Underhill is officially the 2nd shitiest ground I have ever been too, just behind Selhurst Park.
