Mark Devlin

[SmiffyBee]

Mr Devlin,
If you need a bottle of, quite ordinary, water during a Brentford game, would you
(a) be happy to pay the extorionate amount of £1.60 (or more) for the pleasure
(b) be pressing the club to charge a more reasobale 75p or 80p for a bottle of water at Griffin Park, knowing this would still turn a profit

Bearing in mind, if you answer wrongly, or are wooly in your reply, you may find yourself on the end of a spoonful of onions, before the kick off, on 21st October.

regards

Dear Mr Devlin, I only like black coffee. Why must you punish me so?

Would he also mind if the cap was removed so making it entirely a waste if the whole contents can't be drunk within 90 minutes. Other clubs, even in The Championship, now trust all their fans not to abuse water bottles.

 

[Hullbee]

Importantly to you wipe sitting down or standing up and which hand do you use left or right

Nearly fainted when Watford gave me a coke with a lid.

Has any discussion taken place about the naming of the LR stands or rooms/bars? I would love to see an initiative where fans can make suggestions for the board to consider - the Peter Gilham Grill and Bistro for example - well he looks like he enjoys his tucker these days lol sorry Pete! Or someone that is rarely mentioned - the Eric White room for press officers

Eddie Lyons keep fit gym?

 

[Ashford Bees]

Some grounds have a singing block - can we have whining and moaning block?

We have, it's called the paddock

 

[thickobee]

Oh Eddie Lyons!!
My earliest memories of Brentford and GP!!

 

[Alex]

We have, it's called the paddock

I thought that was why you picked New Road so you could be in the company of all the moaners

 

[TW3Bee]

the Eric White room for press officers

The one at GP already is, is it not?

How about The Murray Jones Shooting Practise Area? The Fred Rycraft Tuck Shop? The Stan Bowles Betting Room?
And I feel sure there are many candidates for the urinals!!

Or the Eddie Hutchinson Skills Zone Area.

 

[Hanwell_Bee]

How about a (Harry) Curtis stand, a REAL legend and not least of all because I share the same surname with the great man

Agree with that. Ken Coote stand as well.

Shame we didn't use any of yours!

 

[Hullbee]

Given the interview is next week I wouldn't have expected you to have asked any questions yet...

Or is Mr Devlin vetting them first??

 

[Nick Hester]

Most of the questions collected from here were asked and all answered.

Good interview.

Out in the Next Issue at home to Derby and then Home to Fulham.

Where did it take place, Shepherds Bush or F***am?

Wigan

 

[Thorne In The Side]

Great evening and thanks to Mark for giving up his time for us.

 

[hanworthbee]

on Twitter a form of buy back scheme for st holders who can't get to a game will be announced soon

 

[Judio1999]

Great idea

Lots of other clubs do it

As long as it is Official and no touting then it will be great

A lot of ST holders are unable to make 5 or 6 in a season

 

[hatfieldbee]

I'm not a Twitter, but access MD's Twitter, as an outsider to see if anything interesting happening re BFC. Judging by the times of some of his tweets, I think he must bee an insomniac! Often before, or just after, 'dawn chorus' time.

 

[TW3Bee]

Always responds to Tweets.

Although he's QPeeHa we are lucky to have him.

Very lucky. Seems tailor made for his CEO position. Excellent appointment IMO.

He's a top man, in a top club, well suited,

 

[Somerset Bee]

He's a top man, in a top club, well suited,

He's excellent on the media and obviously likes to roll up his sleeves and do grunt work. Saw him giving out vouchers in the away end at Huddersfield last season. How many club CEOs would you see doing that?

 

[super J]

I noticed I think in the Wigan programme that the club were promoting his twitter account almost as if they welcome the interaction with the fans. I think he's great, always responds and not afraid to answer the difficult questions.

 

[Brentford 4 Life]

Does a great job.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Top fella.

 

[Ashford Bees]

Always responds quickly to any tweeted questions. Top bloke.

 

[Doovster]

Always enjoy his twitter interactions with a certain Mr Banana lol

Absolutely top drawer interview with Mark on Sky Sports. Brilliant ambassador for the Club.

Was chatting to a big QPR fan at the weekend - he only had good things to say about MD and agreed we'd done well to get him.

 

[I'll Bee Damned]

https://audioboom.com/boos/3243003-devlin-on-brentford-s-new-structure

Very interesting & MD comes across well

Worth having a listen at about 4.10/4.20 when talking about success of the model being measured on things other than purely league position - worth us keeping that in mind if we start failing to maintain last year's dizzy heights!

I can't wait to see how things pan out - I am very excited!

 

[staines_bee]

No beating around the bush with MD. Too many club officials have the tendency to be too opaque or vague when it comes to media obligations. Sounds as though there is a lot of belief in how we are going to progress.

 

[ruislip bee]

Well I think he comes across really well. Very impressed with him and what he said. Should always roll him out to the media rather than Cliff!
