    Wealdstone originally played in Harrow, ground now a Tescos. Nomadic existence for years before moving into Ruislip Manors old ground.
    Barnet’s Hive was originally meant for the Stones!

    Nice to hear you pronounce Wealdstone correctly as lots say Wealdston some even make it sound like Willesden. Up the Stones.

    What a game Matt it had everything you want in a good football match, goals and passionate rivalry between two local teams and not a bad attendance, some league 2 teams would be jealous. Once again enjoyed your blog from Brian from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 and by the way its 37 degrees 😅

    Thanks for covering the Stones. As a fan I have to point out that this isn't the ground where Stuart Pearce played for us (that was Lower Mead which is now a Tesco store in Harrow). We also have plans for a new stadium (we lease Grosvenor Vale, which is in Ruislip) in Uxbridge, which is even further away from Wealdstone (where I live). Neither our current nor proposed stadium is in the London Borough of Harrow - both are in Hillingdon, whereas Barnet's ground, The Hive, is actually in Stanmore, which in the Borough of Harrow, and therefore not in the Borough of Barnet. Also Harrow Borough FC (a couple of leagues below us) is also based in Hillingdon. Are you following me so far?
    I'd also point out that unlike any other team in the National League, Wealdstone is semi-professional - the highest placed such club in the FL pyramid. We operate on a shoestring budget compared to our rivals, the lowest in the League by far, and have been punching way above our weight for some years.
    As for the match being a North London derby, there's a definite friction, but no animosity. We just enjoy taking points off the so-called 'bigger teams' with their greater resources and faded entitlement. They really don't like losing to 'part-timers'.
    I'm glad you had an entertaining day at the Vale - even more pleased that you saw the Stones take a deserved win. :)

    It’s more of a rivalry than a true derby. Wealdstone vs Hendon in the 60s/70s, vs Enfield in the 80s and more recently vs the Cuckoos (cos they stole Wealdstone’s new ground after the builders went bankrupt). Wealdstone vs Harrow Boro would be a local derby but Harrow don’t count 😂. Vinnie Jones also played for the Stones and was in the squad for the Wembley final in ‘85.

    Well worth freezing your oliocks Matt. Great scenes at the end for Wealdstone. Didnt do Barnets cause any good. Reckon Chesterfield will march that league, so its a question of the playoffs. See you next weekend at the gills then. No coverage anywhere else mate, so get some good footage in ok lol. Cheers Dave

    I have a slight soft spot for Stones, saw them when they had a very decent ground within Wealdstone. Pearce never played here,and it's a dump,unfit for Nat League.
