Ten things...

Brentford
1 In a rowing club boathouse near London's Kew Bridge, toward the last decade of the 19th century, they decided to play football on a rough field. On the other bank they decided to have a Botanical Garden.
2 The Middlesex side returned to their roots by the Griffin public house, after a tad over ten years in greener Little Ealing and Boston Manor areas. Home is where there is a pub built on every street corner.
3 Brentford played in yellow, black and blue which got them a Bees nickname. That old rowing club colours were pink, claret and light blue and they were colloquially called.....
4 By early 20th century their successful amateur outfit had joined Southern League and become professional. Up market neighbours Chelsea, then went and registered for Football League and so syphoned off floating support. What's new?
5 As members of Third Division South, Brentford played in white with black shorts. Years later they changed to red and white stripes. This immediately dazzled opposition to allow 'em to remain unbeaten at home and extra colour fast up the uncovered away end.
6 Brentford made it into Div1 but after WW2, bombed and dropped on Div3. Their previous blitz of pre-war defences had now become reduced to ruin.

8 Somebody built a bloody great motorway just up the Ealing Road and suddenly, a few old exiles could come back. These in time to swell congested numbers on a Saturday afternoon in s-w London.
9 During FL restructuring of the nineties, Brentford applied to Hounslow Council for permission to redevelop or move elsewhere. Ten years later and counting...
10 Ron Noades became Chairman, manager, coach, boot room gofar, man who fired Micky Adams, a transfer Mr Big, master tactician, chief scout, all round good egg... hey, that's a collection of nodes.
