Last night saw one of football’s most bizarre phenomena played out as Brentford fans saw themselves in the unlikely position of cheering on both Leeds United and Wigan Athletic. Neither club is probably high up the Christmas Card list with Leeds supporters being chief instigators of the ‘tinpot’ jibes. Wigan, meanwhile, have plundered both Uwe and Adam Forshaw from Griffin Park in recent seasons (how is that working out for you, Dave? Dave? Dave…..).
To read the rest of this article, season 2014/15 is now available to download onto Kindle (and other electronic reading device) in full. Containing additional material and even some (poor) editing, you can get it here for less than the cost of a Griffin Park matchday programme or Balti Pie.
Thanks for reading and all your comments over the course of the season. For now, I need to make more space on the site for any follow up. However, ‘close season’ will continue in full, further on.
Keep on calling us tinpot, chaps. We’re anything but
