Hilarious eh, I'm sure the person who did it is more than happy with the result tonight and couldn't care less Ffs....championship brain in a Premier League world
Been going to Brentford since I was a kid, sometimes we'd pay but usually we'd go in at half time for free when they opened the gates
So pleased for all the Bees fans to see them in the top flight and a win under the belt on day one - well done.
Full disclaimer (and expecting a kicking) - I can't stand football. Pretty much my least favourite sport, and pretty much always has been.
But. My old man adored Brentford (he grew up there, I grew up just down the road in Isleworth). So, I loved going with him to games. Am I right in thinking Griffin Park was the only stadium with a pub on all four corners? For some reason, that's stuck in my brain for probably 35 years!
I've moved away, years ago. Brothers are both still in Town, and both Bees (and football) mad.
Cannot f
king wait to go up for a weekend to watch them play. Was genuinely surprised at my automatic response when I saw they'd been promoted. Got me in the feels!

I don't know if it is "allowed" to support two teams in the same division, but I'm going to love watching Bees in the premier league. I hope they have a cracking season and continue to stuff big teams.
The Arse haven't been a big team for quite a while other than in their own minds!RichB said:

) in the SW cornerPrincess Royal in the SE corner
The New Inn in the NE corner
The Brook in the NW corner

Been reading up on the story of little Woody, the non-verbal Down's Syndrome lad that Thomas Frank went over to see after the game on Friday.
Heart surgery aged six, turned away from his local football team, thanks to social media Brentford heard about him and now he's a little celebrity in his own right. Absolutely fantastic the way the Bees players & staff treated him on Friday night, great little video on Twitter doing the rounds of the players coming over to him.

Woody sits just along from us, him and his mum are very special people. The picture of Frank going up to him after the Arsenal game is amazing.
