with Barnet top of the conference and looking to be at least 2nd this year with only themselves and Carlisle right up there, i ask the question will they be allowed promotion?
10 years or so ago i remember Kiddeminster and Stevenage not being allowed up because of their ground, since then standards seems to have become laxer with the likes of Macclesfield and Boston being allowed in with grounds of similar poor standard.
I seem to recall Barnet fans fearing they would never return when they were relegted because the standard of Underhill did not meet league requirments and a new ground was very unlikely.
I always liked the trip to Barnet, but the ground has got worse since we last took a trip there, so if they win the conference will they be allowed into the league regardless of ground rules?
