July in Review: Brentford FC and Premier League Summer Series

July was a fantastic month in the Brentford FC space, meeting many amazing folks among the supporters and club staff during The Premier League Summer Series here on the east coast of the USA. I'm incredibly excited for where things are headed here in New York City as well, and our little international and "iconic" (someone else's word!) Bees establishment. The 2023-24 season is nearly here! --Charlie Corr, NYC Bees
