Away supporters put off visiting Barnet

There is a long letter in today's Non League Paper about how Barnet charge away supporters. As Hereford United visit Underhill next Saturday the letter was revelent to Bulls fans.



Dennis Signy, the author of the letter, describes himself as a PR consultant to the Barnet directors. He explained how the concession for admissions worked.



In effect, if an away supporter, who qualifies for a concession, visits Barnet and wants to go into certain areas of the ground, that person needs to collect a voucher from Hereford United. That means a visit to Edgar Street which isn't easy for those fans who live a long distance away from Hereford. It also could curtail fans who are unable to make a decision to go to Barnet until late in the week.



It needs to be asked why this system is in place. The writer doesn't make this point clear.



As far as Bulls News is aware, Barnet are the only club in the Conference that uses a concession arrangement for certain away fans. Perhaps the system is designed to put off away supporters following their team.



The writer says that the (above) concessions will apply for our next home game against Hereford United.



So if you qualify for a concession you need a voucher for next Saturday or you may have to mix with the Barnet fans.
