Hello mate, welcome to the house of fun (or pain if we lose).

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

I remember standing on the open away end at Brentford back in the last millenieum. They were then a regular rival and we used to share many common players and of course David Webb and Andy Ansah in our histories.

I am hoping all the players are rested and that Britt and Laird are recovered and fit for the game.

Wasn't that the game where Mike Beesley got a late winner for us?

Wonder if anyone can confirm that Britt is actually eligible to play(as well as fit of course)?

Britt has a purple bruise on his ankle but the swelling has gone down; his answer to if playing was "if selected I'll be playing."
Watford have cleared it.

i can remember my first ever game v brentford at roots hall in 1981 when i was a ball boy, think southend won that day but cant remember the score, in the days of cusack and anton owtalokowski or wat ever his name was:smile:

[B.B.The Legend Lives On.]

As far as I can recall we played Brentford twice in 1967 at Griffin Park the first encounter was 21/1/67 in a 1-1 draw goalscorer was Colin Flatt attendance was over 10,000 this was due to a protest against Brenford moving to groundshare with Q.P.R.(some things never change). We also played them on 26/12/67 at Griffin Park winning by 2-1 both goals scored by Mike Beesley. 4 days later in the return match Phil Chisnall scored in a 1-0 win.

Checked before.There were two away games to Bees in 67.
66/7 when Derek Woodley scored first in a 1-1 draw and the game I was thinking about in 67/8 when Mike Beesley scored twice in our 2-1 away win.Didn't know MB did plumbing but I do know(from personal experience) that John Kurila,Billy Best and Johny Mckinven from that era,all turned their hand to a bit of building work in the summer.

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

I remember late 70s there was about a dozen of us in that home end, you, Joe, me, Biber, Walshy and a few others, gutless gits had us outnumbered and did nothing. They didn't get there end back till the old bill slung is out and put us in the away end. Happy Days matey.
