Barnet FC is an English football team from the London borough of Barnet who are nicknamed ‘The Bees’ from the colour of their home skip.   Barnet FC was formed in 1888, having formerly been known as New Barnet FC (1885-1888) and Woodville FC (1882-1885).   The club ceased to exist in 1902 but supporters in the area secured the merger in 1912 of  two local amateur clubs, Barnet Avenue FC and Alston Works AFC.  For most of its history Barnet FC competed in the Athenian League and were champions seven times between 1919 and 1965 before turning professional.  After a string of disappointing near misses, Barnet achieved promotion to Division Four in 1991 when they won the GM Vauxhall Conference Championship and capped this with promotion to the (new) Division Two in 1993. The new level proved too much, and the following season Barnet were back in Division Three where they stayed until 2001 when they were relegated back to the Conference. In 2005 the club won the Conference championship and returned to League football where they remained until the end of the 2012-13 season when they were relegated to the Conference Premier.  Barnet played at Underhill Stadium between 1907 and 2013 before moving to The Hive Stadium situated in Harrow.
