The club announcements regarding the amended plans to the new stadium design and the implications of a reduced capacity and layout of the Lionel Road Stadium is the hot top of the week. The Beesotted crew talks at length and air their personal thoughts on a significant story and share their honest hopes and fears about leaving Griffin Park.
There are also details of the joint fans forum hosted by Beesotted, BIAS, Bees United and the Griffin Park Grapevine, which takes place at St Paul’s Church Hall, Brentford, on Saturday August 26, between 12:30 and 2pm before the Wolves home game.
We also talk about the Bees’ start to the season: looking back to the Nottingham Forest and Bristol City games, as well as forward to this weekend’s trip to Ipswich Town and the League Cup clash with Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road next week.
On the podcast this week were: Dave Lane, Mark ‘The Mystic’ Ristic, Martin ‘The Dutchman’ Holland, Nick ‘The Liberal’ Carthew and Matt ‘The Allard’ Allard.
