As usual on the official website Martin Allen wrote his usual column featuring many stories concerning the football club, today he spoke of his joy that the club will be playing Dagenham in their latest friendly.


Allen said,

"Myself and John Still are very good friends it was him who offered me a job at Barnet to help me get going, he also suggested that I sign Grazioli for Barnet."

"Obviously I have had experience of conferance football and let me tell you it may not be the place of great footballing quality but sides down there are very competetive and I'm expecting a tough game tomorrow"

Allen continued by saying,

"It is going to be a special game for me as I'm going back up to where my mum and dad were brought up, all my aunties and uncles live there"

He then continued by speaking of his plans for the open day on tuesday,

"I'm pleased that the players will have chance to train in front of the fans. Opening the superstore, a training session and a Q and A session will certainly seem like a long night, but i promise I will answer every question straight"

He spoke of special plans made this morning for the night,

"We will be having a special prize raffle, with only one prize. It will certainly be a great prize as the winner will be issued with the squad number 13 shirt, they will also be included on the squad sheet and featured in the team photograph"
