Get real and calm down, It was a lousy performance but not the worst, in watching the bees through thin and thinner for the past 50+ years I can assure you there have been worse performances its just that in the midst of time they are easily forgotten.

Brentford have no divine right to expect people to come into the ground and pay good money, if it was a pay to be entertained basis then the club would have folded many years ago. Its nothing to do with entertainment it is more a certain something that eneters the soul that makes you keep coming back because you know that one day it will get better.

I can remember many years ago saying "thats it I wont be going again" and was determined that would be the case, however started to waiiver on the Friday and come the Saturday was back in harness questioning my own sanity.

I have once tried to change allegiance and went to Watford V Grimsby, stood in the Rookery end ( showing my age) and within 20 mins was cheering for Grimsby not the wisest course of action, however having explained I was a P***** off Brentford supporter they just gave me sympathy!!

I dread to think how many miles I have travelled and how many miserable journeys home I have had to suffer from far flung football outposts, but its part of life and yes I will moan, complain, wonder why I am wasting money but still come back for more.

Deffinition ??? Mug!!

But there are many fans who have to balance expenditure against going to the games and quite frankly I can understand the difficulties they face, they are no worse fans than those who go week in week out. Equally those who left at half time, fine I have no problem with that either its all down to choices.

The guy who goes to just the odd game is no less a supporter than the one who goes to all the games, it is merley a different perspective and different choice of spending.

At the moment we are in the division we deserve to be and at one time it looked like we would not be even in that one. I expect us to play at least in the division above but am realistic enough to know we are not a sleeping giant more a nodding off midget. With careful stewardship and decent manager we can move forward and if we are succesful those who chose not to come at present may be enticed back in the future.

Read and learn. Top post sir. I left at 2-0 cos it hurts me to see us losing so easily to a sh*te outfit like Bury. I choose to go every week despite living in Essex and having 2 kids but i don't think i am any more of a fan than someone who just does home games or just does "some" games. We are all fans who deserve more for our loyalty. I enjoy going so much despite what is happening and know it will get better. It always does

exactly. The 2 goal rule is there for a reason you know.

I must admit I invoked the 0-0 rule for Morecambe at home it was so bad

....except for the going to Watford bit, even if it was for one game only

Can we close this stupid thread now please?

Top post, agree with everything except the abberation that resulted in you visiting Watford, thank god, things have never got that bad in my 40 years +!

I think we should alienate and piss off as many Bees fans as we can by discussing their loyalty and shaming them into believing they are not worthy. We should start threads and have a pop at numbers we took to Port Vale and show that we know best and suggest that it is pointless with so few idiots making the trip. Anyone who leaves early when we are losing is a **** and anyone who leaves early when we are winning is a *****. When we have finished and rid ourselves of the "muppets" we will a battle hardened GP with one end open for away fans and one end for the real Bees amongst us. I used Smiffy calculation and I'm in by the way.

A few more week's illness and you'll be out though

I used Smiffy's calcualtion and it would seem that I am a Stenhousemuir supporter. I may have added where I had to have taken away though.
