This is a collection of edited highlights from nearly
forty hours of interviews with supporters, young and
old, male and female who make it their regular duty to
support Brentford FC, “the Bees”. With a hundred years
of tenancy at Griffin Park, in Brentford, the
Gunnersbury Park Museum have created an exhibition of
artefacts, memorabilia and, in this CD, stories of
times gone by, memorable matches, favourite players,
and hopes for the future, all in the words of
Brentford FC supporters.

As the interviewer on this project I was enthralled at
stories of supporters watching games through fog and
cigarette smog - the sound of big boots on heavy
leather footballs – memories of promotion success and
bitter disappointment. As you will hear on this CD,
the supporters I spoke to have a great affection for
the Club and players and although they all have very
different views on how to run a team, they also
believe in Brentford FC’s role as a focus for
community and friendship.

I hope you will agree with me that this is a fitting
and living tribute to Brentford FC, Griffin Park and
its unique, wonderful supporters. Rachel Cutler
