Wall Street Journal article

[KDP]

I picked up the paper this morning to find that the Bees and Matthew Benham are featured in the Journal this morning. Fantastic exposure for the club. The article is not all together flattering, but it is publicity all the same. Wishing I was at Griffin Park tonight...

Is a barnburner a type of burger ? Sounds quite appetising.

I want to know who this Trevor Inns bloke is.

May not be a barnburner but it is a bra burner as today is International Women's Day. Hope the Club have got into the spirit of it and will be providing all female fans with some lighter fuel and matches.

Read this last night. Obviously it's very American, but once you get over that, it's an interesting article. I'm not sure it really tells us anything new though.

Although those who accuse BFC of lacking ambition should note that this article describes MB as "one of the world's biggest, most successful sports gamblers". He is a very wealthy man with Brentford's best interests at heart...

Don't worry about the club Nurse . I will take them off your hands.

On a serious note though, where would we be without Matthew Benham? Talk about right place at the right time.

I actually think it was a good article, and would not disagree with the barnburner quote, 5,694 for a local derby, with 1,000+ fans from Albion? Not even sure it is offensive
