Praise for Brentford FC

I wanted to take my two disabled kids to their first football match for a long time but never had the opportunity. Yesterday it came up when we were in South West London and were near Griffin Park home of Brentford FC.

After some umming and ahhing (apparently we were supposed to buy the tickets beforehand :o) we were referred to a very nice steward who went out of his way to make things really easy for us. We were taken to some very nice seats just to the side of one of the goals and everyone went out of their way for us. I only had to pay £10.00, £5 for each kid and I was free so it was a bargain as well.

It was a really good experience, the kids loved it and it is something I will always look back on with happiness

Thank you so much

PS Brentford beat Charlton 3-1
The World come on.....

    lovely to hear
    well done Brentford FC
  • Fantastic. Glad the kids loved it. :j

    Football often gets a bad name but the lower league clubs are fantastic with this sort of thing. :T

    Hope you get the chance to take them again soon. :beer:
