Barnet reach the Trophy last 32 and will visit Plymouth Parkway in the FA Cup, but the trip to Walsall is off
Wednesday 11 November 2026 · By Dorothy Helliwell
Barnet have had a busy few days in the cups, even as their next league game has been taken off the calendar. On Saturday they beat Tranmere Rovers 3–0 in the FA Cup first round, and on Tuesday they beat Leyton Orient 4–2 in the Jersey Mike’s Trophy at the Hive to clinch a place in the last 32.
Jack Maskell opened the scoring against Orient on 33 minutes. James Morris equalised on 43, and Kane Smith put Barnet back in front in first-half stoppage time. Bright Siaw then made it 4–1 from distance just after the hour. Dane Scarlett pulled one back with three minutes left. The details come from Barnet’s club report and the Yellow Advertiser.
On Monday, Barnet were drawn away to seventh-tier Plymouth Parkway in the FA Cup second round. Parkway had beaten Berkhamsted 2–1 earlier that evening. The tie is scheduled for the weekend starting Friday 4 December, but the date and kick-off have not been announced.
There was no fresh verbatim quote from Dean Brennan after the Trophy game in the club report. After the Tranmere win he had told the Press Association: “We lacked that real killer quality in the first half and were a bit naive, but the substitutes made a huge difference.” On the bigger picture, he said “our main agenda is promotion from this division.”
That league campaign now has a gap in it. Saturday’s trip to Walsall has been postponed because of international call-ups. Barnet’s statement says at least three players meet the EFL criteria: Oisin Gallagher, who is with the Republic of Ireland Under-21s against Finland; Idris Kanu, who is with Sierra Leone against Congo DR; and Brandon Comley, who is with Montserrat against Nicaragua. Walsall have confirmed that tickets already bought will stay valid for the rearranged date, which has not been announced.
There have been no League Two games since Tuesday 3 November, so the table is unchanged. Barnet are second on 26 points from 13 games, five points behind leaders Salford with a game in hand, and four points clear of third-placed Walsall. They have scored 28 league goals, the most in the division, and their last six league games read won, won, lost, drawn, won, drawn.
Isiah Noel-Williams started the Trophy game, according to the club’s team sheet. There was no other fresh team news.
Barnet’s next league game is now at home to Port Vale, listed by BBC Sport for Saturday 21 November at 3pm. They are then listed at Crawley Town on Tuesday 24 November at 7.45pm.
The postponement is a frustration, but Barnet’s week has still been productive. They are in the last 32 of the Trophy and have an FA Cup tie to look forward to at Parkway. The promotion race, as Brennan has made clear, remains the main job.
North is at the top. Away supporters sit in Stand ’66 behind the northern goal. The south end is currently open.
The Hive Stadium is Barnet Football Club’s purpose-built home on Camrose Avenue in Edgware (HA8 6AG). The Bees left Underhill in 2013 and now share a compact, modern ground with a training complex, 3G pitches and community facilities. Capacity is usually quoted around 6,500. For visiting supporters it is an easy London away day: one dedicated end, a covered view and an in-ground bar of your own.
Away fans are housed in Stand ’66 at the north end, behind the goal. The stand opened in 2016, holds about 1,900 and has no roof pillars in the sightline. Rows have a decent rake, though the very front can feel a little flat. Allocation is often the whole stand; smaller followings may be given a block in the west stand instead, so check your ticket. Turnstiles are electronic: have a barcode ready on phone or paper.
The nearest Underground station is Canons Park on the Jubilee line, roughly a ten-minute walk to the away end. Leave the station, turn left onto Whitchurch Lane, cross when you can and cut through the playing-field entrance. Queensbury (also Jubilee) is a slightly longer walk and gives you a view of the ground from the train. Edgware on the Northern line is about a mile. Matchday parking on site is first come, first served (typically around £8) for several hundred cars; Camrose Avenue has a width restriction, so coaches and wide vehicles should follow the club’s approach notes. After the final whistle the single car-park exit can queue.
Stand ’66 has its own concourse and Bar 66. It is usually open before kick-off, through the game and for a short time afterwards, with screens and drinks in plastic. The Hive Bar and Legends Bar are for home supporters. Nearby, Moranos by Canons Park station is the usual pre-match stop; many travelling groups drink earlier at JJ Moon’s in Kingsbury (two Jubilee stops away) then ride in. The site is cashless, so card or contactless is essential.
Food inside is standard matchday fare — burgers, hot dogs, baguettes — rather than a famous pie culture. Toilets are modern. Staff are used to travelling support. Bag rules change with the fixture, so travel light and check the club site before you set off. Disabled and wheelchair spaces should be booked through the club rather than assumed at the gate.
On the pitch side of things, the west side is the large amber Legends Stand, home of most Barnet noise and the TV gantry. Opposite is the smaller Hive Stand, built into the main pavilion: directors, press, padded seats, family area and the dugouts. The south end currently has no stand after the old terrace was cleared for a planned rebuild that has not yet gone up, so one goal sits in front of an open boundary. That makes the ground feel three-sided, with the away end facing space rather than a home terrace.
Atmosphere is what you make it. Prefabricated stands carry sound well when a decent away following arrives. Views from Stand ’66 are generally clean. If you want a longer look at the play rather than an end-on view, ask whether a west-stand allocation is available for your fixture. Tickets are sold online via Barnet and often on the day at the away ticket point behind the north stand, but popular games sell through.
Allow time after the match for the tube and the car park. Canons Park trains back towards central London fill quickly. The Hive is not a city-centre ground with a dozen pubs on the doorstep, but it is organised, covered and straightforward. Treat it as a proper Football League away: know which end you are in, bring a card, walk from Canons Park, and you will be behind the correct goal before kick-off.
