    Kelvin MacKenzie (yes him!) complains about home TAPs requirements

    Yes and he's not only one, I found out the other day that the leader of the RMT union Mick Lynch may be a Bees fan. As someone who has to travel home and away by rail I am not too chuffed (pun intended). Am now sweating on my Cross Country trains to Newcastle (for Sunderland) will run on the...

    Favourite Watering Hole near to BCS? ?

    The Griffin is still the best, always a warm welcome from Claire and the big G. We did call into dirty dick's tavern (The Express) after the match for a quick wobbly glass pint

    Chris Wylde RIP

    Sad news about Chris, always had a chat with him prematch in the Griffin and at away pubs when we bumped into him. Our thoughts are with his family and mate Dickie

    Hanwell Town

    Yes I lived in Greenford Avenue until 2000, remember Jim Marshall's shop well and also when they moved to a new shop in Ealing Broadway on the site of the current shopping centre. The original shop was a couple of doors up from the Rolls Royce dealer which is still there!

    Leeds (H): Biggest Police Operation & Dispersal Area

    I think the Leeds fans inside the ground will politely applaud Brentford on there victory parade around the pitch at the end and then make their way quietly to local hostelries to get a taste for bitter served at room temp (not f**king frozen) as in the north and will all join in a toast to...

    Ipswich Town - takeover completed

    Fair play to Ed Sheeran for sticking by his local club and sponsoring their shirts and not following a moneybags celeb club. I'am not a big fan but he has earned a few TAP's with me

    Peter Gelson - Brentford FC - RIP

    So sad to hear about the great Peter G, like everyone has said he was a giant of a man in a golden era (the 1970's) of supporting the Bees for me. And that rare thing a one club player mostly, unlike today's agent driven culture

    Brentford v Sheffield Wednesday Prediction Thread

    A month ago we'd be looking at this one as a chance to improve our goal difference, now if we scramble a point tonight it's an open top bus tour of Hounslow ?

    Cardiff in the FA Cup fifty years ago

    Ah happy days of special trains from Ealing Broadway. I remember it was a long walk from Cardiff station in the pissing rain and an even longer walk back trying to stay in one piece. Cardiff fans were being taken out of the ground throughout the whole match it seemed, the match would have been...

    Random spotting of ex-players . . .

    I once saw Terry Evans queuing up to get into Oscars disco at the Oldfield Tavern in Greenford. He was on crutches at the time as he was supposed to be out injured. Don't know if he waved his crutch around on the dance floor, i didn't look that closely?

    Where have you watched from at GP over the years?

    I started off in 1970 paying an extra 50p to sit on the wooden bench seats in the front of the Braemer road stand. In the 80's i stood opp the half way in New road and then sat when all seating was introduced. And now stand (Or did i should say) at the scoreboard end of Ealing road. My one...

    Speedway

    I used to support The Dons in the 1970's, great times including the away meetings on Epsom coaches. Also went to the World finals in Poland (crowd of 120,000 for this one!), Sweden and at Wembley of course.

    Coventry City - to ground-share with Birmingham City

    The EFL board should be trying all they can to help a member like Coventry, not looking to boot them out of the league IMO
