KEEP BARNET ALIVE (KBA)
 
Press
Release
The BFCSA and KBA warmly
endorse and support Barnet Football Club's proposal for
the improvements to the Underhill stadium. We are
delighted that the Borough of Barnet recognises the
shortcomings of the current Underhill stadium and
understands the Club's need for a new stadium in the
Borough. We feel that the proposals represent a sensible
medium term solution within the Borough of Barnet and
balance the interests of local residents, the Club and
its supporters.
The much needed
improvements will provide better safety and more
appropriate facilities for all fans, particularly the
disabled.
We are also delighted to
see the proposed training facilities at the Quinta Club
site that will replace sites currently used that are
spread from West London to Potters Bar. This will also
provide additional benefits to the local community
including schools.
We are grateful to
Barnet chairman, Tony Kleanthous, other board members,
local councillors and council officials for all their
hard work in reaching this breakthrough. Both the BFCSA
and the KBA will work together with the Club, Council,
residents and other interested parties to bring these
proposals to fruition.
Barnet Football Club is
a serious contender for promotion back to the Football
League and this plan is an important step in support of
this aim. We look forward to success on the pitch being
matched by success off the pitch.
Finally both the BFCSA
and KBA greatly appreciate the enormous contribution that
Tony Kleanthous has made in guiding the Club through
troubled times and we offer him our full support in
taking the Club forward to a successful future.
