: Yes, by losing to Stoke in the Play Off Final in 2002 I believe. Before every team who had used the north dressing room had won. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.128.61 (talk • contribs) 15:29, 18 September 2006

message: There now seeems to be even more unneccesary information added to the article under coaching staff.  Is it really important to know who the club masseur is? AirRaidPatrol 84 (talk) 10:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unneccesary info 

message: "The following players earned international caps whilst playing for Brentford (number of caps awarded whilst at Brentford FC in brackets, if known and confirmed)", Twice I have edited this section only for some IP  editor to re-add. None of these Irish players removed earned full international caps while with Brentford, indeed some have never won any. So IP editor can you explain why they are being re-added?

message: One is cited, the rest arent. ANd its not a list of former players. Find the citations as per WP:BLP befroe re-adding. Murry1975 (talk) 17:11, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to add that the consensus of various discussions at WP:FOOTY (cf here or here), is that lists of celebrity fans in club articles are considered cruft and unencyclopaedic. SteveO (talk) 17:51, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

message: I reckon the club's exploits in the Milk Cup might be worth a mention, such as when the Juniors/U15s won it in 2012. Maybe one day there could be a "Brentford FC Reserves & Academy" page? Beatpoet (talk) 19:42, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Who ever is responsible for devastating this article, please explain yourself. Why on earth would anyone think it was a good idea to cut 90% of the article in to 10 different pages? It's atrocious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gary Dahl (talk • contribs) 15:01, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks as though this was done by IP User  on 7 November 2017. While they were right to move excessive detail on each subtopic out to a separate article, they should also have retained a summary of each article as a section in the main article, instead of stripping it down to a skeleton. The York City F.C., Arsenal F.C. and Birmingham City F.C. articles are just a few of many good examples to follow in terms of structure. I agree that this needs to be addressed, however please can you make comments only on talk pages (only edit an article if you improving it) and do not vandalise user pages or articles unless you wish to be blocked from editing. Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 23:14, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I feel like it may be time to look into this. As mentioned before it is probably best to have the separate articles, but a précis of each one would be appropriate (similar to the examples provided above). Would any other users be interested in contributing to this project? Thanks. Crubba (talk) 16:27, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Article split

message: I wanted to see the history of the club in brief as they have now joined the prem league, but wtf! This is a shockingly depressing article. Non-league clubs have better articles! Govvy (talk) 11:36, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brief history??!! 

message: I don't know what happened and why Brentford F.C. is so botched, so I propose we merge History of Brentford F.C. (1889–1954), History of Brentford F.C. (1954–1986) and History of Brentford F.C. (1986–present) back into Brentford F.C. to be inline with the current and correct style that is set by the football project here at wikipedia. Govvy (talk) 11:41, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I would support a merge. I think the page was originally split up due to it's size. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 13:52, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

text: Happy with a merge, but only to History of Brentford F.C., which is a standard and established fork. GiantSnowman 16:02, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I am not against that merge, I still fail to see why this main article should lack decent historical content know. Govvy (talk) 20:41, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Soooo. Is there going to be a merge? REDMAN 2019 (talk) 17:13, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Not much input, but what GS said, merging the three articles into one would suffice. Govvy (talk) 17:54, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

text: It's still there User:GiantSnowman. I agree that merging the 3 very detailed history articles to History of Brentford F.C. would suffice. But should be a paragraph or so on the main page. Nfitz (talk) 00:31, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Per above, merge into single History page - but main Brentford page needs a summary of the historical info. Probably easy enough to scrape an earlier page version for content. Koncorde (talk) 23:20, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

text: Can easily be merged into a History article. But, having a summarised history here is what makes sense. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 23:06, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

text: Support merge into a single History of Brentford F.C. article.   Considering the amount of time this merger has been proposed, isn't it time to take action? GiantSnowman has suggested BEBOLD and I agree it's the best course of action, especially with high support here for a merger. Also, Govvy: I do agree that the Brentford F.C. article itself shouldn't be completely vain of history. A summary of the club's history, covering its most important content, may be added to Brentford F.C., while full details are over in the History article. See for example Everton F.C. - it has a good sizable summary of its history, while the full details are all in History of Everton F.C.. It is a good format that I think should be used for Brentford too. --Jf81 (talk) 15:01, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: With the existence of these sections already on the List of Brentford F.C. records and statistics page, I was wondering if it was worthwhile deleting these sections from this page. As mostly reserve trophies and minor awards, I don't think they are notable enough for this page personally. Does anyone have any objections before I go ahead?
