Details shown are from the Footballgroundguide site
Visiting supporters are housed in the modern Stand ’66 at one end, where 1,922 fans can be seated. The stand does not have any supporting pillars and has a good height between rows, meaning that you get a good view of the game, Generally, the facilities within the stadium are very good and the away supporters bar located behind the stand is excellent.
Entrance to the ground is via electronic turnstiles, meaning that you need to insert your ticket into a bar code reader to gain entry. Food on offer inside the stadium includes the standard fayre of burgers, hot dogs and chips.
The Hive Stadium was opened in July 2013 and is located in a pleasant setting, within a sizeable park/playing fields area, that also has a London Underground line running behind one side of the ground on a raised embankment. If walking down through the park towards the stadium from the direction of Canons Park Station, then you can also see the Arch over Wembley Stadium in the distance.
The stadium has seen further investment cine being built with the development of a new stand at the North End of the ground. Replacing a small terrace, Stand ’66 as it is now called was constructed in only four months during the Summer of 2016.
The stand is covered, all seated and is of a good size, having a capacity of 1,922. Pleasingly, it is of the same height as the Main Stand and has a very similar design. This end is given to away fans.
The Main or Legends Stand as it is now known, on the West side of the stadium, is like Stand ’66 – single-tiered and covered. It does though have a larger all-seated capacity of 2,684 fans.
On the opposite side is the Hive Stand, which incorporates the Bumble’s Family Area. This is currently a rather plain-looking affair, as essentially it is an office building that has had its roof extended outwards towards the pitch, and then had six rows of seats installed in front of it, leaving a large back wall exposed of the office building. Oddly the roof doesn’t extend the whole length of the stand, meaning that some of these seats are uncovered. This area has 750 seats, some of which (in the wing area) are not under cover.
Both sides of the stadium have small electronic scoreboards mounted at the back. At the South End of the ground is the small covered Bees Terrace which is only a few rows high and has a capacity of 1,000. The Hive Stadium is completed with a set of odd-looking floodlights.
For some odd reason, the teams emerge from near one corner of the stadium between the Stand ’66 and Hive Stands, to “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns and Roses, which is played over the rather loud public address system. Not that I am complaining, I am in fact a big fan of the former Guns and Roses lead guitarist Slash!
After spending 106 years at their old Underhill ground, the Club moved to the Hive Stadium in 2013. Originally envisioned as a site for a new ground for Wealdstone FC, Barnet were able to take over the project, when Wealdstone encountered financial difficulties. The Hive Complex which is also home to the Club’s training facility is situated in Edgware, which is just under six miles away from the site of the Underhill Stadium
WHERE TO DRINK?
Away supporters are treated to their own bar within the stadium, which is located behind the North Stand.
If you want to drink away from the stadium then here are three options:
There is a large car park at the stadium, with 500 spaces, costing £5 per car. However with only one exit available then expect some delays after the game on leaving the car park. Otherwise, street parking, although no parking is available on Camrose Avenue itself. There are also 150 car parking spaces at Canons Park Tube Station. It is no more than a ten minute walk from the station to the Hive.
Post Code for SAT NAV: HA8 6AG
BY TRAIN
The nearest London Underground station is Canons Park which is on the Jubilee Line. It is around a ten minute walk away from the away end of the Hive Stadium (or 15 minutes to the home Main Stand seating).
As you come out of the station turn left and at a convenient point crossover to the other side of the road. You will come to some metal railings where there is an entrance to some playing fields which you can walk through to the ground. This also brings you out at the North End of the stadium which is reserved for away fans.
If travelling from Central London on the Jubilee Line then after leaving Queensbury Station, you can enjoy a very good view of the Hive Stadium which you will pass on your right.
