Barnet Travel News - Ipswich Town News
Fans travelling by train to Saturday’s friendly at Barnet should note that the Jubilee Line is only running as far as West Hampstead this weekend and therefore won’t get as far as Canons Park, which is right next to the Bees’ new home, The Hive (KO 3pm).
Supporters should instead take the Northern Line to Edgware, around a mile from Canons Park, and then travel on to the ground from there. There are frequent buses, the number 79 or 340 from bus stop C and Travelcards are valid on buses as well as Tubes.
We’re told that pub choices around Canons Park are limited, so it's better to go via Edgware anyway if you want a beer or two before the game.
Fans wanting to take up Barnet's buy one get one free ticket offer are reminded that the deadline for doing so is noon tomorrow. Full details here.

EFL Statement on AbandonmentThe EFL has issued a statement relating to yesterday’s abandoned Championship game between the Blackburn Rovers and the Blues at Ewood Park.
McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
