The deadline to purchase a hospitality package and join the Underhill 200 club is 18th of August and Barnet's Commercial Manager commented: "This genuinely is a great opportunity for a business to win £70,000 worth of sports marketing, for a relatively small outlay."

Barnet put their first point on the board with a 0-0 home draw with Burton Albion at Underhill, both sides had their moments, but a Ricky Holmes, a danger throughout, came closest when he twisted and turned the veteran Darren Moore in the second half before his drive was pushed wide for a corner.
Holmes was constantly the Barnet player furthest forward with again Mark Byrne eager to get in advanced positions alongside his colleague.
Barnet did construct several cohesive moves and were just a whisker away on numerous occasions. Glen Southam in central midfield was distributing the ball to either flank with pin point accuracy where Mark Marshall wanted to take on his full-back and Glenn Poole looked to produce quality deliveries.
On six minutes an audacious chip from Poole nearly set the Bees on their way, but the ball went agonisingly over with the Brewer's keeper Adam Legzdins back-peddling franticly.
Darren Dennehy looked composed alongside the skipper Anwar Uddin who again won most of the day's aerial contests. Jordan Parkes at right-back rarely put a foot or hair out of place and Daniel Leach, in the unfamiliar position of left-back managed to get forward on occasions and was a strong physical barrier to anything Burton could offer.
Holmes set up Byrne with a neat square pass near the end of the first-half but the Nottingham Forest loanee's shot lacked power.
Burton too had their chances with John McGrath having a drive from the edge of the box well saved by Barnet's Jake Cole.
In the second period Barnet introduced the 6'4'' Phil Walsh, on loan from Dagenham & Redbridge, and were able to play to his strengths by trying to put in a series of penetrating crosses from the flanks.
Both sides were a little way short of firing on all cylinders, the gelling process is yet to be completed, but it was the Bees who looked the most fluent when going forward and gave indication that they are only a fraction away from their first victory of the season.
Focus is now on the trip to Crewe Alexandra next Saturday.
