Brentford are promoted to the Premier League. And who best to ask about HOW that happened than Phil Giles and Rasmus Ankersen - Brentford's Directors of Football.

With lockdown easing, Beesotted were back where they are most at home. In the pub.

And in true Brentford style, Phil and Rasmus were more than happy (too happy I would say) to come to the pub for an evening hosted by Billy Grant and Dave Lane - just as Head Coach Thomas Frank did before them - to eat, drink, talk with the fans invited to the event and chat for two hours on the Beesotted LIVE podcast on everything Brentford

This podcast is brilliant. Funny. Insightful. Interesting. Reflective.

The interview comes in two parts. This is part 1. The second part will be out on PrideOfWest.London shortly.

Billy Grant appeared on BBC Radio 5 Live to talk about his experience in Middlesbrough for the England game which saw a small section of fans boo England players taking the knee

A few minutes before the match, as some fans started booing, one fan was challenged by England fans around him who told him his aggression and booing was making them feel uncomfortable and asked him to stop - which then saw him turn on them 

Billy talks about this plus more on the BBC Radio 5 show
