Bees v Bournemouth

I hope this game will beat the weather. Lots of rain since our last home game was postponed and more rain these next few days.... fingers xssed.
 

Bees v Bournemouth

Three points Saturday and this is a massive game, if it isn't already.
 

Bees v Bournemouth

Best two teams in the league battle it out on New Years Day for a draw if the game goes ahead! Fixture pile up and everyone oooohing and aaahing that we are 6 points behind with 3 games in hand- sadly never works out how we would like!
 

Bees v Bournemouth

Its a massive game and their fans see it the same way, reading their forums they would take a draw.
 

Bees v Bournemouth

Light rain and sun forecast from Sunday onwards. Fingers cross it'll be ok. I think this could be a tougher game that Sheffield Utd and MK Dons, they are in seriously good form and will probably bring a good following.
 

Bees v Bournemouth

I reckon this game will be off, it's Brentford innit.

The Club needs to keep everyone informed, especially for those travelling or making
special arrangements.

If we play our game, we need fear no-one:sorted:
 

Bees v Bournemouth

Heavy rain forecast for London.
Raining from Sunday evening until Monday night, approx 27 hours of bl@@dy rain.
Looks worse than before the Stevo fixture !!
 

Bees v Bournemouth

Will be extremely surprised if game is on as although a couple of dry days the water table was to high for the Stevemage game since when we have has a lot more rain. If we can borrow the blotter we may have a chance otherwise it will be an afternoon of Jeff Stelling!!
 

Bees v Bournemouth

Will be surprised if we play,but being optimistic and hoping.A tough game for both teams bang in form.Looking forward to it.

Just looked at Muff's last 16 matches. Interestingly they have been playing the teams from the middle/lower half. Credit to them as they can only knock over what's in front of them. If you look at the games against higher placed teams, we see the following results,
Stevenage 1-1
Doncaster 0-1 [ L]
Notts County 3-3
Tranmere 3-1 [ W]
Crawley 1-3 [L]
So IMO we will either see Muff hit the buffers soon or rock on.

I actually think that if we take 3 points off Shrews, then there is less pressure on the 'Muff game. In that case I could live with losing the New Years Day match.

They actually won 0-1 away at Doncaster, they didn't lose. I would expect their run to slow down, but not halter completely.

Yes, true. It's what most of us said too if we're honest! If the game goes ahead it should be great game with two sides playing great football and on form. If it goes ahead I hope the rainfall doesn't make the teams change style.
 

Bees v Bournemouth

why cant we put a cover over the problem part of the pitch (braemar/away end corner) ??? it seems to me that unless bfc actually try and do something then we will again miss out on a massive gate tues...it beggars belief that nothing is being done in advance to at least try 100% to get this game on.....the forecast is rain tmrow pm, DRY sun, rain mon and mostly DRY tues....please tell me someone at bfc is trying their best to do SOMETHING ?????

perhaps BFC OFFICIAL can come on here and tell us what plans theyve put in place ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????

Ahhh so that's why they're doing so good ;) Our recent fixtures have been much much harder than theirs!
 

Bees v Bournemouth

a team of winners, add muff to our collection:sorted:
 

Bees v Bournemouth

Agree they are on a run but can't remember them playing a top 6 side for a couple of months. A good run of games and a good managerial appointment has coincided nicely for them.

They're due a loss and we're due to beat them at GP. The JPT aside it's normally an attritional 1-1.

What is all this baloney about a water table??
Click to expand...

Maybe geography wasn't a strong point of yours? oh well. :cry:

It's where water rises to a certain point and saturates the ground. So if you were to dig down, to a certain level, water will form into a pool at the bottom of the hole and if you tried to empty the pool, it will keep filling up because the area around it is saturated. Unless you have a drainage system diverting the water away from that piece of land, you just dug the hole in, it will keep filling up, especially if it keeps raining!
Simple really. :grey:

So, as it has rained quite a lot recently, the ground is really well saturated and the water table high. Therefore, having more rain over the coming days, means less chance of it draining away and to allow the water table to recede to a lower level. The area around GP has a high water table due to localised water courses, underground, which runs down to the R.Thames and R.Brent in Brentford. It's all in historic maps of the area you know. Hope this helps. :yawn:

What a weird geek I'm becoming :( Or is it because I have sod all to do! :computer: :sneakoff:

I preferred the nasty side of WP.............. :banghead:

A simple cover is no good, you need one of those covers they use at Wimbledon, which lift off the surface like a large tent!! :grey:

The thought of Muff hitting the buffers has left me strangely moved.

The pitch is being 'slitted' on Sunday to help it cope with the rain forecasted for Monday.

I'd hate to see the pitch in a mess! If it rains Monday, as forecast, I can see it being P-P. Massive game though with probably the best two sides in the division playing.

Just been on the online ticket site.

Is it possible to buy a family ticket for 2 adults and 2 children online can't seem to see that option.
 

Bees v Bournemouth

Yep loads of us will be seriously hacked off if this is postponed. Quite a few of us Bmth exiles in the London area are missing NYE for a few beers around London before the match...if its off then its back to work with no fun!

Should be a good one, although we will be happy with a draw as most of us see you as the best team in the division at the moment. Yes, played a few lower league teams in the last couple of months, but you can only beat who you are given - we lost against some decent teams when we had hapless Groves in charge.

Oh well - fingers crossed its on....

This is one of the biggest games in recent years for the club. Win and people will then start to think we're the real deal having beaten virtually all the main rivals recently. Lose and people will think our form was a blip and muff will be only 1 point behind us, plus we'll lose our unbeaten record and our amazing home form. This game is bigger than the universe*

*not a guarentee

Our recent fixtures > Their recent fixtures

We've been playing harder opposition. Expecting a win. :sorted:
 

Bees v Bournemouth

Well they are 5th. and we 4th. The difference is 4 points and it would be fantastic to stretch this gap to 7 points around 5.00pm. Tuesday. That would be a very healthy lead over 5th. at this stage of the season. I fully expect us to do so as bragging rights are at stake here in Bournemouth.
