Not sure what the capacity of Griffin Park is but I saw on the news today that the Bees new stadium will have a 17k capacity. 12,700, probably not just about increased capacity though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The argument that team x have done it - and Brentford haven't yet - so we should applies to every similar or indeed bigger club in the league. In that context most teams in the league are failures. Why the hell didn't we go for Watkins though?! Brentford have consistently sold their best players but they still seem to remain competitive in this bloody hard division....

Agreed, they do a great job and I admire them for it but people are talking as if they have already been promoted. If they have an injury record the same as ours last season (9 operations was it?) and still achieve as much then they will deserve even greater credit. My point being that there are a range of factors affecting any given club which can make simple comparisons misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will falter I think, but it’s the start you want. Hard to believe we are the only team stopping them from having a 100% record. Played two of the top three, as it stands.

I just posted that it’s tiresome when some City fans justify defeats by saying we were playing against a (perceived) much bigger club....and they say we have sold our best players and not replaced them so we’ll struggle...as I said, Brentford consistently sell their best players, but they remain competitive...

True enough, we are still at the stage were our results dramatically effect were we all are. We have only played the top team because we lost to them, if you see what I mean. For what it is worth (very little I suspect), the other three teams we have played are still all unbeaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Just think, Adomah, Kodjia, Abraham and Bolasie. Nearly got Bryan too. Bet some Villa fans are questioning why Villa don’t just hire the Bristol City scouting staff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
