   Smithy – I was at the meeting last night and the one comment I would make is that your point about “built in will be a safe standing area of around 3 -400” might give false hope to people wishing for a standing area in this new stadium. The architect was asked to incorporate a design that accommodated 100% seating with a view to being adapted to standing if the need occurred. I think the reality of standing at the new stadium is slim to negligible not least because it would require a change in legislation for Premier and Championship clubs. Incidentally, the one question I forgot to ask last night is (naming rights aside) what is the stadium going to be called? ‘The Beehive’ is my preference.

     I was born in Brentford 1940 in a house on the Clayponds estate and started suporting the Bees from the age of 7, at the age of 12 i used to help my Uncle pick up the Straw basket on the Monday with all the dirty kits following Saturdays match, then take it to Pier House Laundry in the Strand on the Green to be washed ready for the next match.I think it will be good for the club to have a new venue i would call it :New Hive:for the Bees.
