Old George

A little bird tells me that as a major cost saving exercise George will no longer be at the training ground.
If this is correct I would like to thank him for his welcome (and tea, coffee & Bovril!) on my visits there and wish him all the best.

SAVE " OLD GEORGE" CAMPAIGN

I have visited the training ground with my kids on several occasions, the first thing that happens is that we are welcomed by Old George and offered a cuppa.
Old George,like Peter Gilham,epitomises what BFC is all about, a small,friendly, family club.My kids are fourth generation Bees fans and they are proud to go back to school and tell their friends (who are mostly Surrey-Type Man U, Liverpool or Chelsea "supporters") that they can go to the TG, speak with players.the manager,Peter Gilham and most importantly that they are made a cup of tea by Old George.

This man must stay

SAVE OLD GEORGE ! ! !

No offence, but this could be innaccurate or incomplete information.

Two sides to every story....

I have no idea what the truth of the matter is, but clearly if George is no longer going to be making teas and coffees at the training ground, it isn't being done as a cost saving measure, major or minor. If that is the reason that your little bird gave you, perhaps it's reason alone to doubt the rest of the information?

Last I heard TB was all for keeping George. Poor George tho will only be part time now that we are not allowed at the training ground on a Thurs or Fri.
 

Old George

I first met him when we had just moved to the new training ground 3 years back. He was a spectator at the time and was asking Martin Allen if he could have a little job at the training ground. He told me at the time that he loved Brentford so much that he would do the job for nothing. He also was present as a visitor at the previous training ground pratically every day. If this is true it makes my blood boil as we can afford to piss away 50k on a useless gobshite like Willock but can't afford to keep on an old boy that bleeds red and white stripes.

Is this not just a complete rehash and misinterpretation of what TB said in the Fans' Forum? He said that the teas and coffees would no longer be free... he needed the funds. lol

BFC is losing 500k per annum. Surely nothing can be sacrosanct in finding savings to reduce this figure.
 

Old George

what is the truth?
somebody please find out the facts.

If he is not an employee, as a figure of £0 indicates, then he can't be 'let go'.

If there is no factual news about him being "let go", there is no need for anyone's blood to boil is there..:banghead:
 

Old George

Exactly. Either this story is a load of b***ocks, or George has been asked not to do his "job" for other reasons and without knowing (a) whether or not it is true and (b) what these reasons are, it is far to early to be throwing hissy fits.
 

Old George

maybe Bee H could find out the truth and post the 'facts' on here to let everyone know.
 

Old George

Fact...George has not been in the greatest of health recently and perhaps...just perhaps...that may have something to do with this story...if it is indeed true ...:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 

Old George

Maybe the club are worried George may take bungs from other clubs to give inside info regarding the squad. lol :fishing:

It will save George a bit of cash if he does give up the job, I'm sure he pays for the tea and coffee out of his own pocket.
 

Old George

Let me try and clarify
I was being sarcastic when using the word major

and my source is 100% guaranteed

In my opinion Bee4ever summed it up in his post about the family club and encouragement of the youngsters who after all are the fans and bees United of the future

..and your source is claiming that George is leaving so the club can save money?
 

Old George

George was first taken on by Martin Allen to provide an eliment of security re the pavilion when the players were training etc.and to welcome/assist all visitors to the TG. Not just supporters,suppliers,agents and FA officials.

His duties were many and varied and difficult to define,but for certain he was always helpful to visitors,players/management. His tea/coffee was most welcome by all that called.

We may not be in the higher reaches of football on he field,however from my perspective we were in the "top flight" with the set-up at the TG with George and if its a financial matter i suggest its re-examined urgently.Suggest Lifeline might like to get involved as in financial terms the sums concerned are minimal.

I heard that Charlie Ide smashed George in the face in a Barton like attack and then said its him or me!

I don't believe that George has been sacked as a cost saving measure as it won't save any costs. Whatever your source says and whoever they are. If he's been let go, it's for another reason.
 

Old George

it is true i spoke to him yesterday he came round and showed me the letter tellin him they did not need him any more he was heartbroken lets get him back in there

Spot on shortsighted in my view
