13+ years since Brentford’s last double red card match - Sheff Utd (A) on 27 April 2013, in game 44
It was the play-off season under Uwe Rosler which ended with Doncaster 🥶 and a final against Yeovil.
Crazy game of 3 reds, 3 pens (Saunders missed 1) & a last minute equaliser.
Bees game at Torquay in 1991 saw forward Gary Blissett sent off after he went to head the ball & caught defender John Uzzell
Bliss claimed it was an accident but the blood on the defender meant the ref sent him off
Uzzell took Bliss to court for GBH, but he was found not guilty
Facts on part 1 of the @Beesotted podacst:
- How many times have we started 6 unbeaten? And 7? And the record?
- Results for the Pools Panel
- Lots of yellow
- A Bunch of Grapes disagreement set in motion the club of today
- The name we could have had

Today in 1889 at the Oxford & Cambridge Hotel, the Brentford Rowing Club voted by 8 to 5 in favour of setting up an Association Football club in preference to Rugby
They could never have guessed that in 2026 the club would be playing just 200 meters away from their meeting
Happy Birthday Brentford FC!
Early in 1889 the Brentford Rowing Club split. On 10 Oct the members who had their HQ at the Oxford & Cambridge held a meeting about forming a football club.
The vote on what type of football took place 6 days later.
Team pics from 2026 & 1892

In 1985 Brentford chairman Martin Lange welcomed the Government Bill that would ban the sale of alcohol at football grounds. Although he would apply for an exemption for the sponsors' suites
