You gotta laughhave a go at me or not, im only going to the QPR game this season. You wonder why? Support the team, what difference does that make? 40 odd people walked 25 miles and raised a lot of money today to hopefully keep a lot of those players at the club when we as supporters own BFC. They really repaid it didnt they?

Sweepy said:Maybe he will, maybe he wont, but I am happy to explain why i'm not going to any more games this season.
Yesterday hurt me a lot after f*cking up my ankles to complete the journey there. What I saw was a dispirited Brentford side (with some help from Noades of course) look vastly inferior to a poor but more experienced side, for the third time in a week.
* In my opinion the Silver Parasite has been killing the club off the pitch, and the effects can now be seen on the pitch.
* Walley and the players have to take their share of the blame for what happens on the pitch as well though. Walley has done wonders so far, but the past dozen performances mean that Somner, Jay Smith, Hutchinson and co will be getting the size of the audience they deserve.
So am I being unreasonable in not going to anymore matches this season? No.
* I was out of work until last month. I deliberately searched a job with Monday to Friday hours so I could watch the Brentford play that I remember - not the one we have seen in the last 12 games.
* Now i'm back at work, i'm preparing a standing order for BU at last.
* Bees United will also be given an additional payment for every home match I fail to attend.
In closing, I would rather contribute additional funds to BU (funds in the true meaning of the word) than continue to throw them into a hole just so geniuses like Somner can have an attendance of more than 5,000 backing him (or in Constantine's, case booing him). Noades doesn't deserve our money, BU needs our money.
PutneyBee said:Well said Lewis! Supporting the club is surely also about sticking around long term. I've missed loads of home games this season due to my protest against Noades. I have since caved in but throughout my heart has always been with the club and funds have been going to Bees United. There were 811 away fans at Wycombe yesterday and out of them only 40 walked. I don't know what the away fans turnout was like when Lewis walked but to be one of 25 people that walked that day surely earns Lewis respect for now and forever?!

Lewis said:Smithy is a class keeper, but you dont go to matches to watch a keeper. Sonko is a good defender.
Lewis said:Last season it was about 1000 away fans. We lost 5-3![]()
