message: I started a "Other noteworthy former players" list for Barnet, I am pretty sure we can find some more. Govvy 23:54, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: is it going to include players who played for the bees towards the end of their careers, like Ray Clemence and Jimmy Greaves? Grutness...wha? 01:29, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Pardew appeared as a player for Barnet in 1993/94. I think you mean affiliation rather than afflicition, although maybe that was intentional!! --84.65.139.137 10:51, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah - confirmed by http://allfootballers.com/. He was on the squad (although they say it was 95/96... which is right?). And the same site doesn't list Andy Clarke as ever appearing for Barnet - anyone able to confirm? Grutness...wha? 11:10, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: ahhh skip that second part - I'd forgotten it only lists years in the football league so won't list him if he played while Barnet was in the conference. Grutness...wha? 11:24, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Noteworthy former players 

message: Added home & away numbers. Regards, Kickit
I am thinking of removing this section completely, we don't need these statistics in the article. Who else is in agreement for this? Govvy 01:00, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Isn't it a bit over the top? Govvy 22:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Honours

message: Whoever has stated that that club will move to a new stadium at Canons Park in 2007-08 is way wide of the mark. There are no plans to build a Football League ground at Canons Park. The deal struck between Wealdstone FC, the London Borough of Harrow and Barnet FC explicitly states that the new ground cannot be used for league football. Barnet's involvement in this project is confined to building training facilities for the squad and a youth academy.
Currently the last sentence of this section starts "There is now in 2013" indicating it hasn't been updated since then. It and other phrases - has been quashed; have always been; current site; have so far; has taken - need to be modified. Mcljlm (talk) 12:50, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've decided to remove that club vs council section anyway, it seems out of date. Govvy (talk) 13:02, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Club v Council 

message: An anon recently changed these stats on the article (see here). I've reverted them, since the idea of someone scoring 400 goals in 6 seasons is, well ridiculous unless you're Dixie Dean - so this looks lijke vandalism. If anyone has any evidence to the contrary, though... Grutness...wha? 04:42, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Most appearances/goals

message: For those that don't know:
North Barnet (Chipping Barnet) - Brunswick Park, Coppetts, East Barnet, High Barnet, Oakleigh, Totteridge, Underhill. Geographically still tie into Hertfordshire. In 1965 it was just the administration of these area's that moved to London to minimise the administration costs of Hertford. However they still are considered part of Hertfordshire geographically, peace Govvy 13:13, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not the case. Wikipedia: naming conventions (places) uses current, not historic or former postal geography. MRSC • Talk 21:35, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly. Barnet is no longer officially in Hertfordshire (sadly), and as such should be listed only as Greater London. It is in neither the traditional nor ceremonial county of Herts for official purposes, though still has historic ties with it. Grutness...wha? 23:27, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Continued use of Postal counties doesn't really prove anything. Hampton Court Palace is in Surrey according to that scheme. 15:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Unfortunately it's not that simple to anyone else though - especially to the administration of England's counties. Barnet isn't in Hertfordshire to them - and it's those counties that are used on WP. Grutness...wha? 04:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Grutness is right. And I doubt many people in the former Avon, where the postal county is also unchanged, see it that way. MRSC • Talk 07:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

text: FWIW I've been trying to explain all this sort of stuff to people ever since moving to New Zealand 30+ years ago when they ask me if I'm a Londoner - "I was born in Hertfordshire but where I was born became part of London when I was two..." Grutness...wha? 01:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Club badge

message: I noticed this article on the BBC site for Mark Stein. So I was wondering shouldn't we have a backroom staff section on here.? Govvy (talk) 10:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Backroom staff. 

message: I've just removed part of the section on the club's nickname and crest from the text - it's very non-encyclopedic in style, and worse, I can find no verification of it anywhere. It was added by an anon almost exactly a year ago. Here's the text in question:
This Badge was designed by the chairman at the time Mr Sidney Robert Price. Mr Sidney Robert Price has only recently been recognised as the man behind the Barnet Badge. A fact how ever well known by generations of Prices' from Sidney Robert Price down to Barry Price, James Price, James Price jnr, Jack Price and Harry Price. A part of Barnet Football Club history will live on forever with the Price Family.
If sources can be found, feel free to rewrite it into something approximating WP style and put it back. If not, however... Grutness...wha? 12:49, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  possibly spurious "fact" in text 

message: The lead could do with a tidy-up from someone who knows the subject better than me. It includes a potted history, but as it stands it's rather random: it  starts with a failed Conference playoff in 2004, describes promotion a year later (only then explaining that the club had been in the League before; no mention of that promotion), and then darts back to events in the 1992–93 season. A brief history in chronological order, in particular summarising Barnet's periods in and our of the League, would make more sense and be more representative; this smacks of WP:RECENTISM. Dave.Dunford (talk) 10:07, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I just read the top part, you're dead right, it is all over the place. There is a lack of references also. Govvy (talk) 14:43, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Have moved it around of the top of the article, it looks listy to me, I was wondering if we should remove some of the content, I will have to find some references Govvy (talk) 22:47, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

They are only "first team" in the sense that they are too old for the youth team, and don't play frequently if at all for the first team, which is why the club categorises them in that way.
