've noticed at Brentford that since we have been more succesful on the pitch and our fanbase has grown, our support has also become a lot more diverse.
I think the diversity has bred fragmentation to a degree, and that is part of the reason why my club is struggling to hear fans opinions and...
I am aware. Just wondering how everyone's getting around it, as I'm not sure what to do myself. I also found it amusing that businesses have been told to monitor employee sickness and drinking (as per the link).
I'd have taken half a day myself, but then I might not be able to do all the...
Not posted for a while, how is everyone?
So anyway our friends at UEFA have organised our biggest group game for a workday afternoon.
A set of guidelines have been created for businesses and employees to avoid any issues https://www.onlinesupport.co.uk/england-euro-2016-fixtures-businesses/...
You guys sang a fair bit, didn't sound that loud but I'm not sure why
You went mental when you scored but it just didn't travel.
Better fans than Brum though
You passed the ball around pretty nicely, and had a very good structure.
Colunga, Crofts and Texeira look very good players.
No idea what SH has done to your defence though, they weren't as good as some L1 defences last season IMO.
I think we were the better team and deserved the win, but you...
Rotherham have been panic buying.
Our bids for Pringle were in vain so we got Alex Pritchard on a season long loan.
Chelsea want Bamford to go on loan to a Premiership side so he's not coming either. Scott Hogan of Rochdale supposedly joinging.
5/6k was what we got 11/12 and before.
Got that early in 12/13 but once we picked up form, it was 7k+ all season.
13/14 we averaged more than that and regularly got 9k ish towards the end of the season
Gates of about 7k was true 1 or 2 years ago but the truth is we have already sold 5k season tickets and will get an average of about 10k next season. Now, Benham, similarly to Bloom is a very clever operator and has invested a lot of money into youth etc. and I think FFP rules are more lenient...
It's far more than we've ever spent before, but well withing our means.
Odubajo at around a million is a record fee but we've not been at this level since 1992 when we didn't have a pot to piss in anyway.
Andre Gray cost us about £500,000 which is the going rate for a young striker in the...
Not sure about that, I think he's better off somewhere like Brentford in the second tier scoring goals and playing games than somewhere getting sub apps here and there and the odd start
Oops!
And yeah, we seemed to do pretty much nothing for a long while, whilst Rotherham went out and bought loads of players, and people were worried. But actually, Rotherham have spent a lot of money on very average players, Mat Sadler, Febian Brandy, Kirk Broadfoot, Ryan Hall, Richard Wood...
