der Berliner 3,743 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Let's see whether Brentford actually know that they "are poised to make a bid" ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Canary Wharf Bee Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Hi all. I can appreciate why it would be a bitter pill to lose a great prospect to a traditionally small club such as ours. Just for a bit of context, as have been mentioned Griffin Park has been at near capacity all season. Our last four home games have seen two sell-outs and an 11.8k crowd. If it weren't for the restrictions that get placed on buying tickets - they don't go on general sale due to the small size of the away end - we would sell out every game. As for maintaining our current progress on 10k gates, no we probably couldn't. But we have planning permission for a new 20,000-seat stadium which we will move into within a few years. Not many know what's going on at Brentford but I firmly believe we are the most revolutionary club in the country and one of the most exciting in Europe. The below piece is probably as good as any that has been written about us in recent months. http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/dec/27/brentford-buzz-bee-mark-warburton-matthew-benham Having spent my life watching Brentford play Oldham, Carlisle, Walsall et all every season, it's all very strange and very exciting. We won't go up this season, it's too soon. But I firmly believe we will be in the Premier League within three years. All the best.

pmu 0 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Ah, fuck. Turns out their fans are nice too. Bloody hell. and well run, ambitious etc. I bet they have realistic but challenging goals as well. (like being in Champions league in a year ho ho fucking ho) there s nothing about this Brentford that evenly remotely resembles the Mighty Glasgow rangers.. aye fuck off indeed... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Losing one of our young players to Dundee United should be a far greater concern than losing one to a decent English team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
