   Couldn’t agree more Jim! The glory hunters who sit behind their keyboards have no idea what it’s like to witness a hammering at Darlington due to Marco Gabbiadini’s goal power or a freezing cup win at Workington courtesy of our John Docherty.

   Well said Jim. I’ve been supporting Brentford for touching on 60 years. Yes there were freezing cold days watching quite frankly games of what were described as ‘football’ by title only, when I wished I was somewhere else. Any resemblance to football ended at the title – it was dire! Yet I still kept coming, still kept hoping. I’m proud of Brentford football club, of the way pundits, the press, impartials admire us now for what we’ve achieved, how we’re run and how we play. I can take the odd licking from long-standing and sometimes clubs simply wilier than us. Long may we continue to dish up the thoroughly exciting and entertaining fayre we’ve seen over the last few years. And if we continue to do it in the majority of games we’re gonna do just fine.

   This league is brutal. As Thomas said yesterday, if you are not ‘on it’ you will be punished, and we were! We will learn and will come back stronger. PS, I had forgotten Workington but I was there 🙂

   Great read Jim and sadly true.
   Bradford park avenue 1969/70 my first game and season and ever since expected nothing from my heroes and embrace all they give me but more importantly my belief and support has never changed and of course we talk about the game we’ve just won lost or drawn and our performance but how can I be negative about a team that for 52 years week in week out has given me so much more than I can ever give them.
   Fairweather supporters we will see more so nowadays than ever before and those who do moan behind plastic screens are not true supporters of our club.
   Lots to learn still about this league so let’s do it with belief , trust and a smile on our faces.

   Great piece and as any loyal supporter knows ,there will be sad losses and great victories along the way ,but keep believing and trust the process, I know after following Arsenal for over 60 years ” Bees are my second team ” they were the first team I went to watch as I lived in Southall so it was the Bees or shepherds bush ,luckily I chose the former .I believe the Bees will survive and get better, so here’s to a long and successful spell in the Premier League, keep the faith
