Stewart Purvis huddled into a corner of the KCOM stadium with other Bees fans to see yet another Brentford away defeat. A severe weather warning had been issued with snow expected in the Hull area, Brentford were on a winless away run that went back eight months, many fans including...
Bill Hagerty witnesses Christmas arriving early as Bees gifts let Swansea snaffle the points. Had Swansea realised that Santa was going to pay a premature visit to Griffin Park and bestow gifts solely on the visitors, they might have put out a couple of mince pies and a glass of...
Stewart Purvis was in the away end at the Hawthorns to see something special happen there at 90 minutes. Yes it was “daylight robbery’, a ‘steal’ and a ‘smash and grab raid’ after a ‘one sided match’, but just for once it was our daylight robbery, our steal that got...
Bill Hagerty sees Bees sink lower in the table as the Blades put them to the sword. Fifteenth and in apparent freefall, with the following evening’s results likely to make the position even worse, the Bees managed for the first time in years to lodge a truly disturbing thought in...
Bill Hagerty watches feisty Bees win the numbers game while losing a quality contest. Nineteenth-century Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli is credited with having observed that ‘there are three kinds of lies – lies, damned lies, and statistics’. Well, some things don’t change, in politics and elsewhere, with the particular elsewhere...
The Brentford FC Supporters Trust, Bees United, joins everybody at Brentford Football Club in mourning the passing of our Technical Director,Rob Rowan. Rob’s story is an extraordinary and inspirational one that has come to a tragically early end at the age of 28.
Bill Hagerty reports on a wet afternoon at Loftus Road when a disappointing Bees’ collapse dampened the spirits. We all know that football is a game of two halves, but did Brentford have to demonstrate the truth of the phrase quite so dramatically in losing this London derby?
Bees United would like to join the football club in sending our best wishes and gratitude to Mark Devlin after the announcement of his departure from the club at the end of December. BU Board member Greville Waterman has written this appreciation of Mark's work for Brentford.
Bill Hagerty sees the Bees return to early-season form and dispose of south London bruisers. If the minute’s silence to honour those from both clubs who fell in past conflicts, coupled with helicopter crash victim, Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, wasn’t poignant enough, the sight of Ollie Watkins honing his...
Greville Waterman looks back on Brentford’s winless run and is surprisingly optimistic about the future. I am trying to distract myself and take my mind off Saturday’s local derby against Millwall that is now looming on the horizon.
Greville Waterman wonders what's next in a season that promised so much but now threatens to be an anti-climax. Well it was all looking so good at halftime on the 18th September. The Bees were firmly ensconced in second place in the Championship with the plaudits of all the pundits...
Donald Kerr reports from Carrow Road on what he calls ‘a different defeat’. When a team goes on a bad run, there is often a similar pattern to the games and a seemingly certain inevitability to the results. However, for those of us that made the long trip to Preston,...
Stewart Purvis joined the other 267 Bees in the away end at Deepdale. If you didn’t see the game in full don’t be misled by the score or the highlights, a seven goal thriller this definitely was not. If you saw the whole thing you’ll know that you can’t give...
Stewart Purvis sees Frank’s first day fall flat. Brentford's Danish Head Coach Thomas Frank says his football philosophy is 'togetherness between staff and players'. All very ‘hygge’, the Danish way of creating wellness and contentment. It was all very togetherly before Frank's first game in his new role at Griffin...
Our latest blog from Greville Waterman: I had roused myself from my torpor and lethargy and almost finished writing a long and analytical review of the first couple of months of the new season when news broke of Dean Smith’s departure to Aston Villa.
