4 unusual facts about The Hive Stadium


The Hive Stadium

The Hive Stadium is a 5,176 capacity stadium in Canons Park, in the London Borough of Harrow on the former site of the Prince Edward Playing Fields, the new home for Conference National side Barnet.

Attempts to relocate either to Barnet Copthall or to the greenbelt site directly to the south of Underhill were both unsuccessful, with John Prescott over-ruling a move to Copthall in 2001 after planning permission was granted.

Chairman Anthony Kleanthous has sought to move the club from Underhill since the 1990s due to the poor facilities at the ground.

A new training ground and centre of excellence for Barnet F.C., named The Hive, was opened at the site by Trevor Brooking and Fabio Capello in 2009.
