Just a Bus Stop in Hounslow: Brentford FC\'s 2021/22 Season in The Premier League [US]
31,449 days . After last winning promotion to the First Division in 1935, it took Brentford 31,449 days to retake their position in the top tier of English football, when they hosted Arsenal on a balmy night in August 2021 and surprised a worldwide audience of more than a billion fans with a famous victory.
But would the stunning opening night triumph prove to be a false dawn? How would the Bees - Just a Bus Stop in Hounslow - cope with the challenge of the Premier League where they would face clubs whose resources, squad depth, and quality dwarfed their own?
