Brentford's only 2 sucesses at Wembley were both played with many supporters not being able to attend
2021 play-off final, only 4k fans due to pandemic restrictions
1942 London War Cup, only 69k (30k down on pre-war FACup finals). Many supporters were involved in the war effort

It’s 100 years this week since Gunnersbury was officially opened as a public park.
From 1879 to 1917 it was owned by Leopold de Rothschild, which he inherited from his father Lionel.
Some connections to Brentford FC –
- Lionel Road was named after Gunnersbury’s owner

- Leopold was an early patron/president of BFC
- 1903 BFC changed shirt colours from the original Claret & Blue to Blue & Gold, to reflect Leopold’s racing colours
- In pre-season 1937 afternoon training was varied every day, including miniature golf & bowls at Gunnersbury Park

- Prior to 1957 the Brentford Youth Team used to play their matches at Gunnersbury
Urban myths dispelled:
- Salmon was not a Rowing Club colour nor in the original BFC kit
- Leopold de Rothschild was not a Lord
- Walter Rothschild did not own/live at Gunnersbury

Kevin Schade’s goal at Anfield was Brentford’s first since 1974 when Roger Cross scored in EFL Cup tie (L1-2) 18,884 days earlier.
And first in the League (Top Tier) since 1937 in a 4-3 win when Bobby Reid scored a hat-trick & rounded off by Dave McCulloch 32,341 days ago.

This season Brentford took:
A point from the champions
An average of 4 points from teams 3-7
16/18 points from relegated sides
But only 2 points from teams in 8, 10 & 11
And from 15, 16 & 17
Doubles over sides in 4, 12, 18, 19
Doubles over us from 2, 8, 16

So, 40 points was enough for PL safety.
Brentford reached that number in game 26, the 1-1 draw with Arsenal (H) on 12 February.
Achieved more points than the bottom 2 clubs before Christmas.
