‘Can we upset Vincent Tan? And no more JPT, man’. Is this a new Bees anthem?

If Brentford are the Barcelona of the Championship, then it would be fair to say that in musical terms our supporters are very much it’s Status Quo  (and in the case of Rhino Edwards, their bass player, quite literally).

The Beesotted crew have, of course, set the early season musical pace with their ‘Come on you Brentford’ single. Recorded with local band ‘According To You’, it is a remake of an 80’s classic, specifically to raise funds for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan.

My attention will, of course, be on ‘El Capito’ –  the East v West battle at the top of League One between Leyton Orient and Brentford at Brisbane Road.
