This is a little unusual ..........


.... but I am going to suggest a bet for the weekend.


Brentford have received two massive boosts this week, firstly the club, which has massive debts, has received a , £3m ,5 year interest free loan, from a supporter. This has relieved a huge amount of pressure on the cash strapped club, it has enabled them to restructure their finances and plan for the future. They do own the freehold on their ground, which is in a very expensive part of the country and would be ripe for developing. Will not bore you with any further details, but this is incredible news for the Londoners.


Today, The Bees signed Neil Shipperley on a season long contract, from Premiership club, Sheffield United. This is a deal that seemed totally impossible, just a week ago and has been financed by the supporters.


I can tell you that the club is on a high for the first time this season, further signings may even be possible, before the window closes. They went to play Leyton Orient in a friendly this afternoon and WON 1-0.


They have 17 games left this season and will probably have to win 10 to survive. First up is the visit of Carlisle to Griffin Park at the weekend, they are 2-4-8 away and have lost 6 of their last 10. Brentford are likely to have an extra 1,000 or so on the gate, following this weeks news and have to win, to give theirselves a chance to stay up. This is one of the better fixtures they could have and a realistic chance.


I think the odds may fall a little, once the news is common knowledge and especially if, any further signings are made, suggest we get involved now.


3 points Brentford -1/2 ball 2.80 Bet 365// 2.75 Stan James.


Good Luck.
