Notes

Brentford, 07 January, Football League Trophy Round 1
There was no round number on the source of this list. As we got knocked out I cannot use the next round number to confirm this was the first round. It is possible we got a bye to the second round. There is no round number in the next season either, and we got knocked out first time as well.

The format of this competition had changed from the 1996/97 season so am unable to compare with earlier seasons. I have checked Brentford FC websites and cannot find any with a results archive covering this competition (the 'mad' one has FA Cup and League Cup). I shall try to confirm this at some point...

Watford, 22 January, Herts Senior Cup Round 3
Although we often get a bye to the 2nd Round, it appears we got a bye to the 3rd Round this season. Unless the 2nd Round match is missing. Also, although the above shows we won this match, there are no details of later rounds on the source of this list.

I shall try to confirm this.

See Below...
If you are looking for any "see below for notes" you may need to visit the relevant page in our A to Z history. It is usually about missing attendances but sometimes there are additional (and even amusing) footnotes.

Make a note of the team name and find them on the page linked to above.

If you can help with any missing information (or have a correction to make) I would love to hear from you on info@bfcsa.co.uk
