Castle Badge?

[nanny58]

So what year was it first used and where was the badge based on building wise was it the entrance to Gunnersbury park opposite Lionel road or based on syon house building please help

I think it was 1975/76 season that the castle badge first appeared.
No idea on the other bit.

1975.

Wasn’t based on anything or any building.

Allegedly Dan Tana “designed” the badge.

The Squad Photo with the new badge. (Still trying to find the article on the "new badge" from 1975........looking :looks

I really don't know! It just looks like a school kid's job. I remember thinking WTF when I first saw it.

So fortress Brentford seem quite positive as to 21 home wins, now any idea when was the two building in Gunnersbury built ?? Maybe Hounslow council next stop as syon was built long before 1929

You’re trying to find something that isn’t there. Even reference to “fortress” on that badge page, imo, is bollox........ it was a design that was just different to any other badge at the time.....

Blimey the Goalie on the left looks about 14. I don't remember him at all.

From googling, it must be Paul Priddy, with Bill Glazier the gk next to him.

Brentford will be selling a 1975/76 inspired shirt after Christmas. It’ll be a Red stripe with a brushed Red stripe. Looking forward to it. £80 each. :shrug:

I’ll supply a picture for £1. :bling:

Neither is Priddy. I think it is Cox and Glazier. Priddy was tall and skinny. Glazier only played about 10 games and then f**ked off.

I agree with Glazier: checking back, he had large ears which you can spot in the photo. (see https://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=111&player=344 for what I mean). Priddy had ordinary ears.

Correct. On all counts.

My Dad confirms that it is definitely Graham Cox and Bill Glazier.
