Preseason Finale: Lille Draw Before Tottenham Showdown

Ep. 981

Brenrford finished off their preseason programme back in rainy West London with a 0-0 draw against a very good Lille team, who had been chosen to give The Bees a stern test, which they did. Little will have been learned by the fans following today’s match ahead of the curtain raiser versus Tottenham next week, as this afternoon’s match was in fact one of two games played today against Lille, with several expected first teamers selected for the behind close doors morning match. I’m sure Thomas Frank and his coaches will have been content with how things are shaping up though. We spoke to Bees fans after the final whistle at the Gtech.
