Barnet can outpace rivals

Barnet boss Ian Hendon had plenty of time on Sunday, four hours and 41 minutes to be precise, to work out how his club could possibly be facing a last-day survival battle to stay in the League.

That would happen if Barnet lose at Accrington tonight and then on Saturday at second-bottom Grimsby, who would then be only one point behind them. It would leave Barnet needing to do the business against promoted Rochdale on 8 May.

But London Marathon competitor Hendon believes they can win this evening to secure their League Two future. Some 15 hardy souls are travelling north in a mini‑bus to support the team plus another 50 individuals taking advantage of a £5 pre-match ticket offer.
