BARNET 4 SPORT
All around the town of Barnet there are people who love their sport.
Which ever sport it is there should be somewhere to play that sport. Not too much to ask for in the 21st century
but the government and the council do little to make this a reality.
Through this page we hope to bring YOU, the sports lovers in and around the town of Barnet a chance to have
your say on what we need and how we can go about getting it. No matter which politician is in power it is YOU
who puts them there. To make our playing fields into sites for houses or flats is nothing but a disgrace and a
way of putting profit before our needs.
We have (at the moment) a professional football team in our town whose hands are tied to help the community
because several people, who have no interest in our town, decide it is not right to build on a piece of grass that is
called "the green belt". Take about the same amount of grass area that happens to be a playing field and although
green it will be allowed to be used by developers. Does that seem fair?
Sports clubs are having to close down as their rent is put up and they have to find more money to maintain their
club house.

So have your say on what we need to do to make sure your sport has a chance of attracting the young that you
need to continue.
Suggest ideas, write about your frustrations at not getting further with projects, such as the people who are trying
to put together a cricket and football academy for local kids but finds the council as stubborn with them as they are
with Barnet Football club.
Is there not ONE person on Barnet council who likes sport?
Is there not a few people on Barnet council who can see that most of the kids hanging around your local supermarket
are there because there is nothing for them to do.
Bet if you talked to those kids most of them love sport......BUT WHERE CAN I GO TO PLAY IT?????
Enough said.
One man who is trying to do something about it is Adrian Salter, who has a brilliant idea to help all the budding
youngsters in our area. Unfortunately he is another person who has to fight Barnet council's seemingly hatred of
sport and he gets no help from the town hall .
Learn more from his web site @ http://www.camdenians.org/football/ for football and
http://www.camdenians.org/cricket/ for cricket. Well worth a visit if you want to play either sport.
