BIAS 2021 Manifesto

We are the Brentford Independent Association of Supporters (BIAS).

We are a fully democratic, inclusive and independent supporters’ group that aims to give a voice to all Brentford Football Club fans. 

We want to ensure that every Brentford fan has the opportunity to communicate with the club and for the club to listen to any concerns they may have. 

BIAS holds regular meetings with the Chief Executive of Brentford Football Club and other high-level staff and we have very open and clear lines of communication to put forward ideas or concerns on the supporter’s behalf, to the people that run the club. 

With honesty and integrity, we will represent and campaign on issues and concerns raised by our membership for the benefit of all supporters.   

To achieve this, we will:
