After a tumultuous summer for Brentford, all eyes are now on the Premier League curtain-raiser away at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, August 17. It’s more than just the first game of the season – it’s a vital opportunity for fans to show backing for a squad that will need every ounce of support from the stands if they’re to get off to a flying start.
This summer’s closed season has been anything but smooth. With transfer craziness and a totally new-look coaching set-up, this fixture now carries extra weight. It’s a chance for the team to reset and for supporters to remind the players that, no matter what, the Brentford faithful travel in numbers and with pride. We know that our support can really make a difference right now, so making the trip to the City Ground is so important.
The club has secured the full away allocation, meaning there is still ticket availability for those who want to be part of what could be a big moment in the 2025/26 season. The message from Bees United, the supporters’ trust, couldn’t be clearer:
“There is a full seating allocation for Notts Forest away – Aug 17 at 14.00 – book now. Let’s fill it up and make some noise. Following our feedback the club listened and acted.”
As we all know, Forest have become something of a rival in recent seasons — and there’s no love lost between the clubs or supporters. From feisty encounters on the pitch to tension in the stands, this fixture now carries a bit of extra bite since ‘Foamgate’. A strong performance in Nottingham, backed by a vocal crowd, could set the tone for the entire campaign.
Beesotted are joining the rallying call: get to Nottingham and “sing your hearts out for the lads.”
So if you’re able to make the trip, do it. Book the train, grab the ticket, let’s turn the City Ground Brentford red and white and welcome a HUGE new season in style.
