STAND UP FOR BARNET

Posted on: Fri 07 May 2010

It's standing room only at Underhill tomorrow with virtually all seats in the main and South stands sold.

Places are still available on both the East and NW terraces, but Barnet FC advise all supporters - with tickets or not - to arrive early to avoid congestion and also to help build up atmosphere for a game vital to Barnet's future.

The club, in conjunction with the Football League, ask all fans to please keep off the pitch ---"to respect the law and to consider the potential wider consequences of such action".

Gavin Megaw, the Football League's Director of External Affairs, said: "In the last week we have seen incidences at football matches where the safety of players and fellow spectators could have been compromised by fans invading the pitch. The football authorities have re-issued guidance to clubs reminding them that fans entering the field of play is a criminal offence and is unacceptable in any circumstances.

Jim Henderson, Barnet's safety officer, says that encroachment onto the pitch is an arrestable offence and could lead to a banning order from all football grounds.
