This week RG went down the pub (surprise, surprise….in fact the only real shock was the change of location!) to meet up with his new chum Billy Grant, a long time Brentford FC fan and podcaster of several years’ standing, to get his backstory, find out about the advent of Beesotted - The Bees fans’ long standing vehicle of many guises in the world of fan media and to delight in describing his beloved club’s rise and rise from the lower divisions to the Prem, via a lockdown letdown! RG’s good friend Ade The Gooner was handily placed, living just round the corner from the chosen pub, so he also joined in to receive some gentle needle from Billy about THAT season opener.This is the first (and longer) episode of a two-part special with Billy in the run up to Albion’s debut visit to Brentford’s ‘New Griffin Park’ stadium this weekend.Stand or fall!
