Barnet FC are delighted to announce that this season’s Player of the Year Awards will be taking place at The Hive on Saturday 21st March following our home game against Welling United.
And with the efforts of both those on the pitch and in the stands helping the Bees to rise to the top of the Vanarama Conference table, it is with great pleasure that this year’s event will be a joint venture between the club and a committee of supporters’ representatives.
Taking place immediately after our game against the Wings, supporters will be invited upstairs to our luxurious Amber Suite from 17:30 to enjoy a delicious hot meal and mingle with the Barnet FC first team squad, manager Martin Allen and all of his backroom staff for a full hour before the main event.
The awards ceremony will then get underway at 18:30, hosted by the latest addition to our hospitality team in our new compere Richard Carlowe with accompanying footage being shown on the big screen.
The ceremony will of course feature all of the traditional awards, only this year there will be some added flourishes to the running order including a brand new award for the Members’ Player of the Year voted for by all Barnet FC members as well as Clubman of the Year voted for by all staff at The Hive.
There will also be a new format for one of the traditional highlights of the evening, whereby the Goal of the Season will be selected from a shortlist voted for in advance by all those who attend on the night with a special video allowing them to relive the top four strikes of the season in all their glory.
