On a day in which six League Two fixtures were postponed, many Barnet fans feared the worst and that our tie against promotion-chasing Cheltenham Town would also fall victim to the weather.

It was the fans who helped to avert this and allow the game to go ahead.

Around 70 people came to Underhill in the early morning to help clear snow from the pitch. Through their hard work, commitment and efforts, the game got given the go-ahead at 11:15 after a second successful pitch inspection.

The fans that turned up deserve a tremendous amount of credit. If it wasn’t for them, the game would not have gone ahead.

Unfortunately the match was decided by the adverse weather conditions. The snow had left the pitch wet and soggy; while further snow continued to fall heavily.

This meant that both Barnet and Cheltenham were unable to implement their usual passing style and struggled to create any real openings.

It was Mark Byrne who had the best chance to win the game for Barnet, with his late effort just fizzing past the post.

This was perhaps unfair on the Irish midfielder who has improved significantly in recent weeks, with him adding an extra tenacity and creativeness to his game.

A 0-0 draw was the fair result as neither team were able to get into the game as a result of the conditions.

However, this is certainly one point gained and not two lost. As a result we moved up to 20th in the table, three points clear of York City in 23rd.

Due to the efforts of the fans, we have given ourselves a few major advantages going into the final six games of the seasons.

A few of our relegation rivals – Plymouth Argyle, Aldershot Town and Rochdale - were unable to play, meaning they have to schedule in another fixture to add to their fixture backlog.

It also increases the pressure on the teams below us to gain something from their games in hand.

Finally, it increases our match fitness which may prove vital considering many teams will go into the Good Friday matches having not played for well over a week.

In his post-match interview, Edgar Davids said, “It is amazing they did that for us. You don’t see that everywhere. You see it is a close-knit family.”

This is yet another occasion when – as Davids said - the “romantic side” of the club was shown and it proves that the fans are the heart and the soul of the club.
