Women CHAMPAGNE MOMENT: Newhaven (Home)

['Ayes B]

The noise and the size of the crowd (3,270).

Hearing a New Generation of Bees being born with their enthusiastic chanting of Brentford, Brentford, Brentford and making it last longer than the West Stand could.

Hearing the youngsters with the old traditional chant of Brentford followed by three claps, and learning to utilise the back of the stand to make more noise then realising that the fans in the South Stand are joining in too as the fans support reverberated around the ground (reminded me of the Sheffield Wednesday play off game)

Seeing some of the upper seats in the South Stand being utilised for the first time at a Women's game - presumably by sponsors.

My biggest Champagne moment was seeing Ashley Cheatley's Mum, who follows the team home and away with her family, caught on the big screen, dancing in pure joy at our daughters fourth goal

My son and his friend on the big screen, playing the home or away shirt game with Stu.
So many young kids and their families in the crowd. One parent in front of us saying they had never been to the Gtech before, but would be making every effort to return.

On the pitch, my champagne moment was Maddie Phillips mazy run that led to Ashley's second goal & Bees third. Just love it when she gets forward.

Of the pitch, it was seeing all the children colouring in different player portraits that were available in the Dugout. Youngsters excited that "I've got Ilana," while another was pleased she had Makeba, all inspired by the players they had just seen on the pitch.

Enjoyable game. Some great football. Thought Kizakis strike in second half was exceptionally well placed.

Enjoyed taking my 81 year old mum along with my youngest daughter ( who was thrilled to meet Nathan and Sepp at HT)

The quality of football on display, so much better than the game with Saltdean, last season at The Gtech.

A group of us met after the Saltdean game and came to the conclusion that only about four of the current squad would have got into our promotion winning side.

After the Newhaven game the same question was asked in reverse and it was considered that only two of our promotion winning squad who have left would get into our current first team squad.

Regan and Logie?

Regan and Logie?

Regan and Englehard, in my opinion.

Wiktoria works harder for the team.

We don't need to get into too much of a conversation about player x is better then player y from the past. What is evident though, is that this years squad as a whole, is much closer to the championship winning side of 24/25 and an improvement on last years squad. You could argue for various players of 24/25 fitting into this years squad, and visa-versa.... which I think shows that the style of play is much closer to that of Karleigh's squad. It feels like we are moving in a more positive trajectory and continue to evolve and improve.

Watching on t'internet, I loved how Wiktoria Kiszkis ran off as fast as she could, to give her replacement as much game time as possible.
Either that, or she really needed a wee.
