The Bees

[stoney04]

Where does this come from for us?

 

[SmiffyBee]

Borough Road University supporters used to come along to Brentford games, and support the mighty west london team, with the rallying call....

Come on you B's

As this was what they shouted at Borough Road Uni games....

This became the Bees over time

Smiffy is becoming a 'geek'

It dates from the middle ages; once the last griffin had been slaughtered for griffinburgers, the park which shall forever bear their name was turned over to a local display team of formation-flying bees. However, the public were soon bored with the bees' limited repertoire of aerobatic moves so a Teutonic warrior-monk-beekeeper was invited (in great secrecy), who not only quickly trained them to produce sweet honey for the locals but armed them with powerful stings to defeat their rivals. The rest is history.

Buck Up B's is more correcter than what I wrote...

 

['Ayes B]

Yeah its as Smiffy said,

Brentford were the B's as:

Orient are the O's
QPR are the R's
Colechester are the U's

With Cameron Diaz and Dean Gaffney in the leading roles, you've got yourself a blockbuster...

You're right mate.
It was "Buck up B's"
yelled from the banks of the Thames during rowing competitions then
later on the famous terraces at Brentford FC.

I think the nickname "The Bees" is derived from the close link with Fullers brewery who many years ago aquired the "Beehive Brewery" in Brentford.

I seem to remember this may have been the case as this explains:
