WE ARE BEES UNITED
THE BRENTFORD FC SUPPORTERS TRUST

 

Learn More

At a time when football supporters often feel clubs are out of touch with their fans and some communities have seen their clubs disappear, Bees United has fought for a unique role in ensuring that Brentford remains a club which we, the fans, can call our own.

Bees United is unique as the only fan group in the Premier League with a seat on the main board of its club.

We also have a β€˜special share’ to safeguard its long-term future. enshrined in the articles of association of Brentford FC Ltd. This is irrespective of any government initiative which may seek regulatory influence over the way football clubs are owned and run.

BU earned these rights by saving the club from financial disaster back in 2006 and then, beginning the partnership with Matthew Benham which led to him becoming Brentford’s owner and the Club’s promotion to the Premier League.

We are proud of our club and its progress to the Premier League since we ensured its survival and we now have seats on the Brentford Fan Advisory Board.

We are confident of the future of Brentford FC, under the ownership model we helped create.

Remembrance – 9th November
Remembrance – 9th November

Bees fans groups and a large crowd, fell silent for two minutes as the Last Post and the Reveille, were sounded by a bugler, in remembrance of those 31 Bees we have lost in conflicts since the first World War and Sarah Guinness, Club Chaplain, read a prayer.

The new BU plaque, to the memory of our former players was unveiled by Cliff Crown, Chair, Brentford FC and Stuart Hatcher, Chair, Bees United.

Wreaths were laid on behalf of the club, by Nity Raj and by Josh Dasilva, for the players and then Lee Doyle for BFCCST with BU and BIAS laying their wreaths together and the servicemen of the 7th Battalion, The Rifles on behalf of the Army.

All BU thanks are extended to Paul Briers (other helpers, on the plaque) for his thorough research over 15 years.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
