Are we twinned?  The small BRENTFORD, South Dakota, USA

Did you know that there is a small settlement in the USA called BRENTFORD?There only about 70-100 folk living there but they keenly follow us(!)in football's PREMIER LEAGUE.They watch the Bees enthusiastically and  wear the red and white kit.If you read the REAL BRENTFORD Facebookpage (on  which I overly indulge) you will see the story,pictures and more.A Brentford TW8 fan does visit them with BFC goodies.

Thanks for your response Raymond.It seems that a Bees supporter called Steve Tidy has already made contact with Brentford, South Dakota and has  visited them.Its a small settlement of some 70-100 folk and not only do they watch games on their Community Clubhouse screen... but wear the Bees shirts too.I wrote an article.on FB REAL BRENTFORD with pictures..which people here.much warmed too. Indeed Brentford Voice picked up the  article and part reproduced it. REAL BRENTFORD is very much alive.

It certainly should be but the Burgers of Brentford would probably poo poo anything that is not their idea.Ealing dismissed being twinned with Ealing CT by it's regime many moons ago but it's relations with the French twin were very good for quite some time. More to do with enthusiastic local residents than the Council who have not done much more than put up a few signs over the past 20 years.I think you have a good idea there.Why not run a local campaign or put it up to Brentford Voice who seem to be good at sounding out the town and seem also so be politically neutral.?
