Brentford fans on Saturday were singing...........

[Bracknell Neil]

Brentford lost some fans to Readings emergence from the Bracknell to Staines Areas!

[stanistheman]

Are they getting promoted to the Prem too then?

Growing up in Chiswick, a lot of my mates were Bee's fans. Something to look forward to if it does happen. Certainly more enjoyable then playing Fulham anyway.

QPR could be playing both Fulham and Brentford next season. Although a lot will depend on the Fulham/Noorwich game on Saturday. If Fulham win that they will be 2 points behind Norwich who have a nightmare run-in in the last 4 games and might not get another point.

QPR will NOT win the Play-offs (if they manage to hang on to a top 6 place). My money is on Wigan will win them.

Yeah I think Wigan over 2 legs will be too strong.. Im looking forward to next season playing Brentford and Fulham with Petrasso and Donaldson getting a few games!

Went to school in Isleworth - still mates with a fair few muggy Brentford fans. I despise them more than Chelsea fans.

Brentford fans - not one to stereotype but I bet they all love their "real ale" and wouldn't want their hard drives to bear close examination by Officers of the Law.

[QUOTE=West Acton;1243590]I would prob say thats right and it goes back to the two of them slumming it in the lower leagues together for 90% of their history whilst us and Chelsea played more or less in the top two divisions

West Acton, you're right on one count, but completely wrong on another.

Brentford have been obsessed with us ever since we left them in the mid nineties, after 7-8 years of being in the same division as them.

They even got the upper hand for 2 or 3 of those, and felt a bit left behind when we moved up the leagues.

However, just for the record, the two most played 'West London' derbies are Fulham/Chelsea, followed by, (you've guessed it), Brentford/QPR.

Football records started well before 1967 you know.

Depends very much upon what you class as a West London Derby

Despite the post code, Fulham and chelsea very much West London (and north of the river), and even though Brentford is in Middlesex technically, to me all 4 clubs are West London clubs.

As I said buddy down to opinion

I've always seen Fulham posher than Rangers, Chelsea and Brentford..

Fulham will give you a knife fork with your burger

League position & games against them this year suggest otherwise. In what way do you see them as too strong? Not being argumentative by the way, just don't buy into this Wigan too strong stuff

Do you know what, that's a fair comment.

Wasn't always the way, as Fulham used to be quite a normal area until it got yuppified in the late 80s/90s, and our traditional core support has been overly diluted with people who just want to watch premier League football, yet don't identify with the part of Fulham that the club grew out of.

Chelsea just had a much larger traditional core, which has not been as fully diluted (although has been to a large extent).

Brentford and Rangers crowds are still made up mainly of families from the local area, and haven't been considerably 'watered down' yet.

Trust me, I preferred the old days at Fulham, although the 3,000 we had at Villa included quite a large amount of old school!

My family moved out of Fulham in 1983 to go to Hounslow. This was considered moving up in the world.

Take time to digest that for a moment.....

.....then feel my heartache.....

Just seen how they have surged up the table, have a very good squad they kept and added to from last season and we were very lucky against them at our place.
We rode our luck.. Wouldn't fancy us to do them at all over 2 legs.. If it weren't for Europa league earlier on in the season I reckon they would be 2nd personally

Yeah I saw Fulham had a few at Villa.. Where did they all come from on an Awayday? haha..
Fair to say Fulham is now for the posh and tourists?
