I would have thought that these two old north west London clubs could combine their resources sufficiently to provide an attractive proposition for the heavily populated surrounding area.<br />Kingsbury's ground is pretty well appointed these days and would provide, at least the standard of facilities, offered at the old WHITE LION ground.<br />I played and watched football at both of these venues in the 50's & 60's and think it very sad that so much has gone for no good reason.<br />John JeffersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997493669162079040.post-25747024832103977272013-04-19T13:41:59.725+01:002013-04-19T13:41:59.725+01:00As a Barnet supporter, I saw Jimmy Greaves score o...As a Barnet supporter, I saw Jimmy Greaves score on this ground in an FA Cup match.
