Description<\/h3>\n

Underhill Stadium was until 2013 the home of Barnet FC. It opened in September 1907 with a match between Barnet Alston and Crystal Palace (1-0).<\/p>\n

The stadium recorded its highest attendance in 1952 when 11,026 spectators attended a match versus Wycombe Wanderers.<\/p>\n

The all-seater main stand got built in 1964, but the rest of the stadium remained terraced until the west bank terrace got replaced by an all-seater stand in 2008. It could then hold just over 6,000 spectators, of which about 3,700 standing.<\/p>\n

In 2013, Barnet moved away to The Hive Stadium in Harrow after having been unable to agree on a lease extension for the Underhill Stadium.<\/p>\n

For a few years, the stadium was being kept used for local rugby matches, but demolition finally started in early 2018 to make way for a secondary school.<\/p>\n
