Re: Brentford
Fair do's. My initial feeling was just straight back to them pipping us in THAT year. Going to see them pump us a depressing thought.
However, local and there's a story there. I can see it

Not really though, are they?RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 10:44 pm Not really , a Premiership team which should be a sell out
To be fair, once the first 6 had gone, this was about as good as it could get.

Re: Brentford
Will be a big away following. We will easily sell out the standard allocation of 2,000 that Brentford give away fans.

Re: Brentford

Re: Brentford
It is disappointing. Saying we've drawn a Premier league side is sort of dressing it up. It's neither one thing or the other. As the Kube says, be under 10,000 there. Like I've said before we hardly ever get a 'plum' draw. Compare us to what other lower teams got? In fact, it's an awful draw!Rubex Kube wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 11:10 pmcoz its crappy little Brentford, be 10k or less at it.

Re: Brentford
Perfect draw for the board. They can rub shoulders with their soulless heroes. The game is after the window closes, so the money will be going into Coley’s pocket.

Aston v (Wycombe)
Man u (Barnsley)
Leicester (at home) (Walsall)
Newcastle (Wimbledon)
Chelsea (Barrow)
..or a home tie against opposition we could realistically advance into the next round.

Re: Brentford
It's a derby in the warmer months at one of the better new grounds where we'll take a decent number and a have a good choice of local boozers. If we weren't getting one of the top clubs, this is a pretty good draw. Only problem is Kew Bridge is a real faff to get to if you're coming from east London.
