Congratulations on the result yesterday and good luck in the final. It's a sickening way to lose though I'm sure it's a great way to win. To those of you who made us welcome before the game, those who came up to and applauded the bees fans at the end and those who applauded our supporters coaches at the end you are all a massive credit to the club. As club photographer I'd like to personally thank the friendly stewards especially the one who came up and gave me a hug whilst I sat by the side of the pitch balling my eyes out. I'll let you know when the pics go up, though you'll have to forgive me for missing your celebrations at the end. All the best

Well done mate and credit to you. After about 10 mins of going crazy after the final pen I came up your end to speak to some of your fans, but could see alot were very distressed so backed away. Would like to have spoken to a guy in the front row of the seats, he was very animated during the game. Good Luck next season

All the Best for next year Frodo. Having seen the sending off in the Hereford game, I'm just glad we had a ref who was prepared to let 2 teams of men get on with playing footie - even if he wasn't sure about Silver Goals! Your keeper was awesome - I can't help thinking that you only lost because Maddix and Hatch gave away stupid pens; I don't think we could've beaten Gore any other way.

It's all if's but's and maybes mate. Gore kept us in it in the first half at Barnet and made a couple of great saves yesterday. I'm struggling to put things into perspective at the moment. Though I suppose at the start of the season if someone had said to me you'll go to penalties in the playoff semi final I'd have taken that. The ref was very good I thought. Hope we see you in a couple of seasons in Div 3

I dont know if you were one of the Barnet fasn going mental at your place but i would feel worse if it was as you all seemed like you thought it was over.
Best of luck - you have had a good season but unless Graz play like he did early in ther season this year next year i think you will struggle.
But then i thought Hereford would be in the final
anyway good luck and i hope as you say the only time we ever play you is in the 3rd or 2nd

I dont know if you were one of the Barnet fasn going mental at your place but i would feel worse if it was as you all seemed like you thought it was over. Any Bees fan who's followed the team for any length of time will tell you that we never thought it was over. It was a goal which gave us a lead going into the second leg when most of us were happy with and had already settled for a draw. I went mental and judging by your celebrations yesterday I'm sure you'd have done the same if the roles were reversed. In case anyone thought it was disrespectful I can assure you it wasn't meant to be. Cheers for the messages of good luck and hopefully we'll meet again soon as football league clubs. ps. (tounge firmly in cheek) is there any chance of you getting rid of Aiston, he was different class yesterday.

Just want to echo Frodo's message. Good luck at Stoke. Shrewsbury is a big club and deserves to be back in the league. (Nearly as much as Barnet!) Good luck and I look forward to us playing you in 2005. Philippos (Barnet fan)

LOL, Aiston was ineffective after he was nobbled in the second half. Have to say I thought we were out when i saw Gayme Tolley stepping up to take a penalty Thank the lord the keeper dived the wrong way

Who the fcuk is "Gayme Tolley" All the penos were class and well taken, and the one that Barnet missed went down as a good save, not a miss.

Gayme Tolley is our welsh under 21 international midfielder. Its what myself and Murray call him for his attempts to head the ball As for Tolleys, I thought he scuffed it in the corner off his ankle?
