Barnet Football Club are an English football team currently playing in the Nationwide Conference. In March 2004 they were in one of the play off positions. The club has been in existence since 1888 and has always boasted a loyal fan base. Affectionaly known by fans as The Bees, they play in a black and amber strip. Their top player is striker Guiliano Grazilio who has been at the club twice and has also had two spells at Peterborough United.Barnet F.C joined the Fourth Division of the Football League on winning the GM Vauxhall Conference championship in 1991. In their first season of league football the club reached the promotion playoffs but lost to Scunthorpe in the semi finals. Soon afterwards chairman Stan Flashman walked out on the club which almost went out of business because it could not pay its players' wages and had failed to pay a Ł50,000 fine for breach of rules. In spite of this, Barnet finished third in the new Division Three and secured the final automatic promotion spot. Fry, however, had been sacked by Barnet and was replaced by the former England goalkeeper Ray Clemence.
Barnet's first season in Division Two ended in relegation and Clemence left in 1995 to be replaced by Terry Bullivant. But the club was unable to sustain a real promotion challenge back in Division Three, and in 2001 lost its league status after ten years after a season which had seen John Still resign and briefly be replaced by Tony Cottee before Still was reinstated. Still resigned again shortly after Barnet's return to the Conference and was replaced by Peter Shreeves.
Shreeves left after one year to be replaced by Martin Allen, who in turn left the club in March 2004 (to take charge at Brentford) and the club's manager now is Ian Culverhouse.
