What have Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Brentford got in common? The answer is that they’re all owned by their fans. For the next four years at least, supporters’ trust Bees United controls the majority of shares in Brentford Football Club.
Members and other supporters have been asking about Bees United’s policies and objectives over the next few years, now the Supporters’ Trust has completed the formalities of its partnership with Matthew Benham.
Bees United intends to raise £1 million before the end of the 2013/2014 season by increasing its membership, asking its members to contribute more than their basic subscription, and organising some major fundraising events.
Bees United are pleased to confirm that their partnership with Bees fan Matthew Benham, first announced last summer and subsequently ratified by the overwhelming majority of Bees United members, has now been finalised.
Due to the amount of time Alan Bird is spending on executive matters at the Football Club, he has decided to stand down from his role as a Bees United nominee on the board of the Football Club with immediate effect.
Bees United is offering a great prize to its 2,000th member. The lucky Bees fan will win two hospitality packages at the Brentford home match of his or her choice.
We have restored the PayPal facility on this website for the added convenience of Bees fans who are not already members, or those who wish to use it to renew their subscriptions.
Bees United’s membership is getting closer to the elusive 2,000 mark as a result of the membership drive started with the leaflet handouts and programme insert at the Leeds United game before Christmas.
As part of our commitment to keep supporters informed the team working on the Lionel Road project for Brentford Football Club has provided the following progress report:
Notice is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting of Griffin Park Stadium Limited will be held at Griffin Park, Braemar Road, Middlesex on Tuesday, 5th January 2010 at 7.00pm for the following purpose:
Bees United are arranging for leaflets to be distributed at the three forthcoming fixtures – against Leeds United this Saturday; Charlton Athletic after Christmas and the Doncaster FA Cup tie in the New Year.
Since Bees United was formed eight years ago it has raised nearly £460,000 from its members and general fundraising to support Brentford Football Club with loans. Of this figure, just over £50,000 was provided last year.
