Brentford 0 Bristol City 1

The Bees bowed out of the Carling Cup to 10 man Bristol City. In truth Brentford played some great football and looked the better team. City were reduced to 10 after there striker recieved 2 yellows. However it was not meant to be!!!!

Carlisle United 1 Brentford 3

A great start to the 2009-10 season (I choose not to document the friendlies i went to including a trip to Wembley and the Emerates Stadium) 511 bees made the long journey to Cumbria, my own journey took 7 and a half hours!!!! Brentford took an early lead from new boy Myles Weston, before Carlisle equalised from the spot, after Saunders was adjudged to have handled in the area. The second half Brentford looked rejuvinated against a Carlisle team that looked as though they may struggle this term. Weston got a second putting the ball through both the keepers arms and legs as he squirmed down to collect. The 3 points were sealed when Wood capitalised on some poor defending before rifiling a shot past the debutant keeper.

The ground is quite quaint, with a large new stand housing both home and away fans. This runs the full length of the pitch. Behind one goal is a covered terrace used by home supporters, this reminded me a little of the one used by away fans at Peterborough. The main stand has terracing in front of the seated area. Behind the other goal is open terracing used as an overflow for away fans.
