David Lane, editor of Beesotted the Brentford fanzine, I live in Hampton Hill 6 miles from BFC and I've supported the club since my first game in 1978.
What was your first game?
Swansea at home, we won 1-0.
Describe the most memorable and the worst game you have seen and why?
Hard to pick just one, but most memorable game was probably Blackburn away in the FA Cup in 1989. We won 2-0 at Ewood which set us up for a Quarter Final against Liverpool at Anfield. Winning the Third Division Championship in 1992 was a great day too.
Who are your current local rivals and why?
QP-Ha and Foolham
Who are the best and worst players you have seen?
At Brentford? The best in my opinion was Terry Hurlock, worst a waster by the name of Murray Jones. I thought Deon Burton was superb last season for us too.

How did you fare last season?
Play-off heartache.
Where do you think you'll finish up this season?
As above probably
How disappointed were you to lose Deon Burton in the summer? Very, his close ball control and vision were a joy to watch week in week out. He didn't score enough last year, but it was a service problem.
We shared your agony when you lost to Wendy's in the Play Offs last season. However, there has been no hangover, how pleased are you with your start?
Very good start, being slagged off for our direct, physical style of play at times, but I think that's a bit harsh. We can and do play a bit too. Huddersfield are still blubbing and they won!
If Brentford were a TV personality, who would it be and why?
The baddie from Scooby Doo, every time we thing we'll escape [from this league] we get stopped at the final hurdle.
So what do you think of The Millers?
I think you'll finish in mid table.
Which current or former Millers player has impressed you the most? Deon Burton

Are you happy with your chairman and board members?
Not happy with the Chairman as he is appointed by the company which RonNoades, the previous Chairman, runs. Noades ran up £5m of debt at BFC While giving the impression he was a rich benifactor. The fans have now got to find £1m to save our club as he wants us to start repaying what HE caused.
Which team do you want to beat this season the most and why?
I wanted to beat Nottingham Forest like the rest of us, and we have! Really want to do Huddersfield and Blackpool too as they have the biggest bunch of idiot fans who post on my website.
What sort of line up can we expect from you?
We've got a lot of injuries, but we'll be attack-minded I think Saturday.
Who's your strongest/weakest link?
Darren Pratley and Sam Sodje are playing superbly, not going to tell You that our keeper is dodgy on crosses though. Doh!
What's your predicted score?
Bees to win 3-1
Who's going up?
Us
Who's going down?
Not us
And finally.Meat and tatty, Beef n Onion or Balti?
Balti every time!!!
