Brentford...Then And Now...
A Memory of Brentford.
Some weeks ago I was back in my beloved Brentford for The Bees V MK Dons..Sadly I didn't have any time to have a wander round and walk in familiar places...just a quick drink in The Globe.Was good being there amongst all the Bees supporters...even though I was wearing a Dons shirt over the top of my Bees shirt !! Well I do like to follow something local and these days I live in Milton Keynes...so the Bees V MK Dons is always a difficult match for me....but hand on heart I'm always happy if the Bees win !!So long ago since standing as kids behind the Ealing Road goal...can remember against Luton Town many years ago speaking to Bernard Stretton over the fence there...begging him to let in a goal !!Of course he didn't and we were relegated that year.During this latest visit I was saddened to see the old Duke of York pub all boarded up and derelict.When working for Raleigh Bikes on The great West Road we once had our Annual Dance there.Brentford today has so many new blocks of flats and office blocks and yet some parts are worse for wear.But that's Brentford for you and forever in my heart whatever it becomes !!!
