So our Chairman has once again shown total disregard to all Barnet fans by calling off 2 games because of International call-ups. Aldershot at home on a Tuesday night(not so bad) then Fylde away on Sept 7th. To all those Barnet fans who have booked early cheaper train tickets, and those that have booked a weekend in Blackpool, it is tough luck. These 3 super Internationals are 1 regular first team player, the second is our reserve Goalkeeper who hasn't ever started a match(only coming on once when Cousins was sent off) and the 3rd player who has never played a first team game. TK is probably rubbing his hands at the prospect of saving more money by not having to pay for overnight Hotel accommodation for Fylde. This probably should go in the Tinpot thread.

Disgraceful but not surprised. The same man cancelled Halifax away last year with 5 days notce to "prepare for the FA CUP" and then refused to compensate fans.

£50 on train tickets and not even an apology. He wonders why crowds are declining.

That's shite for those with travel plans already arranged, is it really that easy to get games called off in this league? Chairman just needs to put a word into the right ear? You'd think the league would investigate who'd been called up and the loss it would have on the team before making a decision.

My understanding is that if you have 3 international call ups the league will always agree to postpone.

Surely call ups should only apply to first team players. Not squad players who have never played a first team game. Once again Barnet Fans are shit on by our own Chairman.

Who in the actual name of god are these players turning out for? Tristan Da Cunha?
Not confirmed who but most likely:
Jack Taylor (Ireland u21s)
Matrevics (Latvia u23s)
Vasilou (Cyprus u21)

Wow...not even full International games.
At least Maidenhead had 2 full International players to get a game postponed last year. I think the oppo was Havant who also had a Montserrat International player.

Wasn't it Josh Kelly for NI U21 who was the third call up? Or Dean Mason?

I think it's 3 from one team needed for a postponement not 3 overall.

Not that I necessarily agree with this decision but what if Loach was injured and Vasilou had broken into the first 11 by then?

Don't think there's any arguing against it in that case.

Dean Mason rings a bell.
Who does he play for?

We had our away game at Yeovil postponed last season because they had 3 internationals going away (Ireland U21's, Luxembourg and Benin).

How are you affording this? (I’ve not read th article), but didn’t you basically sack all your staff a few months back for having no money..

Essentially the chairman is a rich tight businessman who’s last priority is Barnet FC. He put all the staff on their notice prematurely predicting the worst and to save money as quickly as possible, so quite shrewd. His real passion is the hive complex and all the money it makes him, it will pay for itself once it’s up and running and then hopefully our club will reap some of the reward, not that we have up to this point. TK was in the most recent ‘The Times rich list’ so pleading poverty doesn’t wash with our fan base.

This is pretty skewed, we would have a bottom half NL budget if not for the income from the wider business complex at THL.

We are where we are on the playing side due to huge wastage on player spending from Jan 2017 to summer 2018. TK tightened the budget after that and people now accuse him of money grabbing etc.

You'd wince if you knew how much the players Still signed up on two year deals were on.
