Not at the moment. Better off waiting until further into the season. Still send an email to PG first to make sure it's ok. Stewards will just turn you away otherwise.

I've never had a problem getting into any official fixture at the training ground. After all it's a league fixture, not a behind closed doors practice match. What happens to any away followers who travel up for the game. Will they be turned away also?. I'd like an answer to this please as I dont fancy a wasted journey.wanderer paul;2198156]Not at the moment. Better off waiting until further into the season.

Mate of mine was off last week and he went there last Tues and got turned away so went back Thursday and got turned away again. So training ground visits aren't 'open' to fans, contrary to what was said at the Fans Forum

I can understand there being restricted access for training sessions but I've never known it be imposed for actual matches. I regularly attend youth and development games and have never had a problem. Some official confirmation would be nice though.
 

Development Squad Matches 2013/14

I see today's game is now advertised on the official site with no mention of any limited access. Assume from that it's ok to attend.

I can't imagine any reason why not. If I remember correctly the club had to make some alterations to the training ground to ensure that the facilities were upgraded to make it suitable for public matches to be staged there. I've a feeling that the Development Squad leagues (under 18 and under 21) are required to be open to the public - whether the club likes it, or not.

The point of contact for all queries on admission at the Training Ground is the Club's reception, not Peter Gilham.

Generally, if we have a midweek game then admission is closed all week.

Brentford:- Jack Bonham; Alfie Mawson, Aaron Pierre, Ben Nugent; Josh Clarke, Toumani Diagouraga, Jake Reeves, Charlie Adams, Tom Field; Luke Norris, Paul Hayes
Subs:- Tyrell Miller-Rodney, Joe Maloney, Isaac Layne, Freddie Champion, Melvin Minter

Minter's the Yeading 18 year old goalie , Champion is a good name and ex QPR midfielder ,19 I think

Tom Field played for the Milk Cup-winning team of 2012... good progress.

James Wilson for BCFC
 

Development Squad Matches 2013/14

We won 2-1... Charlie Adams with the winner.
 

Development Squad Matches 2013/14

Be interesting to know how James Wilson got on. Remember being impressed with him when he came on loan as a youngster. Seems to have disappeared off Bristol City's radar since then though?
 

Development Squad Matches 2013/14

Charlie hit a half volley Hayes stuck foot out got slight touch but credited it to Charlie, Jake watching had plastic boot on and on crutches Brizzle have two Wilsons on there books didn't look like the one we know.

If it wasn't for the fact that I knew who he was, James Wilson wouldn't have stood out for me. He played at right-back but looks a shadow of the confident young player who came here five years ago. He's hardly played more than a handful of first-team games for Bristol City and probably needs a move away and a fresh start somewhere else.

The plusses for Brentford were Alfie Mawson, who looks as if he is reaping the benefits of spending the second half of last season out on loan. He's looking strong, powerful in the air where he hardly missed a ball and he's mobile too for a big centre-back. Very impressive. And also Josh Clarke. I can see him making the first-team bench a few times this season. He's incredibly quick, can take on the full-back and gets a decent enough cross in.

Downsides - yet another penalty missed, this time Luke Norris hit the bar. Can anyone at the club take a successful penalty??

sure I've heard one of the bees player team brag about their penalty prowess.
 

Development Squad Matches 2013/14

Pierre and Mawson very good at the back.
Nugent played well, had a chance from a corner headed over.
Clarke had a good game, beat his man many times and got some crosses in.

Clarke came on in the friendly at Borehamwood and looked to be a player with a future

No Scott Barron today looks like we might need him on Sat.
 

Development Squad Matches 2013/14

Nugent and Clarke played well but Reeves ran the show for me. The game was fairly even, we just about deserved the win. The City keeper organised his defence well, very vocal. He got a strong right hand to the penalty and pushed it onto the woodwork, a good save rather than a poor penalty by Norris. Hayes got the faintest of touches to the shot from Adams for the winner.
 

Development Squad Matches 2013/14

Josh Clarke was very good but then again he has been every time I have seen him play. Back line were very good for us too. Nugent Pierre Mawson. Dominated the first half, pretty even the second. Lots of people watching - was an entertaining game.

Sounds good. Thanks for the reports guys!:sorted:

Looks like he has also had trials at Tranmere and Preston and is 30 years old. Have to ask now many more right midfielders we need we already have Fillo, Dallas and Teixeira who can't get in the starting 11.

Matthew Benham is apparently on the bench for Brighton according to the OS

Not on bench but I saw him play for Hendon v Wingate & Finchley recently. Very skilful , uses ball well.
