Recapping Premier League Fan Fest in Tampa, Florida

Thank you to New Jersey-based Bruce and Sarah Muni for representing the NYC Bees and providing some color during the Premier League Fan Fest on April 18-19 in Tampa, Florida!

They connected with local Brentford supporters and the club's impressive group that featured ambassador Marcus Gayle, plus Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo who juggled appearance duties and their ongoing rehab.

Our result that weekend wasn't quite what we had hoped (scoreless draw against Fulham), but Brentford made the most of the stateside connection, whether it was the fan-favorite Michael Kayode/long throw-in station or the Q&A held at Shuffle.

Tallahassee-based Bees supporter Reggie Grant wrote up a nice recap for Beesotted, and Atlanta's Michel Cowdery spoke with Across the Seas But Forever Bees to share his highlights.

NYC Bees touted on Brentford Carabao Cup broadcast

During the Aug. 29 broadcast of Brentford FC's match against Newport County in the Carabao Cup, the broadcast team of Mark Burridge and Marcus Gayle dedicated much of the pregame toward the growth of American support.

Within that segment, Burridge was keen to mention NYC Bees Co-Founder Charlie Corr, Brentford USA's John Kenkel and Across the Seas but Forever Bees' Tim Searls among the stateside efforts.
