• The Bees host Fleetwood Town on Tuesday 19 March for the last ever Barnet Football Club match under the floodlights at Underhill.

• The Bees will be hoping to bounce back from defeat at Accrington Stanley on Saturday. 

• They’re also looking to avenge a 2-1 defeat against the Cod Army at Highbury Stadium earlier this season.

• The Bees’ form has dipped lately with successive defeats against Stanley and Oxford United meaning they are joint bottom of Npower League Two.

• Fleetwood Town are also looking to get back to winning ways after their play-off hopes were dented by a 2-1 defeat at Plymouth Argyle last time out. 

• Barnet’s visit to Highbury Stadium was the first time the two sides have met with Fleetwood playing the majority of their football in the lower echelons of English football.  

Barnet Football Club

• Jake Hyde, John Oster and Craig Beattie are all expected to feature after returning from injury last week against Oxford United and Accrington Stanley.

• Edgar Davids is however unavailable after being sent-off on Saturday for two yellow cards. 

• The Bees have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Tuesday’s match.

Fleetwood

• Former Hull City midfielder Paul McKenna will be unavailable after being sent off against Plymouth Argyle. 

• On 11 January 2012 Fleetwood Town surpassed their record transfer fee, previously held by Jamie Vardy, to sign Jamille Mall for £300,000 from Kidderminster Harriers.

• Fleetwood have enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence in the past seven-years with the club plying their trade in the North West Counties League Premier Division in the 2004/05 season.

• Four successive promotions saw the club fire up the footballing ladder to the Blue Square North for the 2008/09 season. They would only spend two seasons in this division however before promotion was achieved once more via the play-offs. 

• The 2011/12 season was the best to date for Fleetwood who not only stormed to the Blue Square Premier title but also reached the FA Cup third round for the first time. 

• Manager Graham Alexander IS only the second outfield player in English football history to have made 1,000 professional appearances, after Tony Ford.

• Alexander currently the third oldest player to score in the Barclays Premier League.
