Saturday 10 February 2007 saw the launch of a brand new fundraising scheme for Bees United. The Build a Better Future campaign centres around the tried and tested 'Buy a Brick' scheme successfully implemented at many other clubs including Middlesbrough, Reading, Coventry, Crystal Palace, Walsall and Hamburg football clubs to name a few.
In conjunction with Briconomics, supporters can from today Buy a Brick with their own personal inscription and have it placed on the wall round the Hive or on the wall inside the New Road entrance. The inscription could mark a special occasion or remember a family member who has passed away, perhaps even advertise your business. In fact it can be what ever you wish, provided the inscription does not offend anybody and is within the realms of decency.
These bricks are intended to be a permanent fixture and when we eventually move to a new stadium these bricks will be removed and placed on a special wall, which will be incorporated into the stadium design.
The scheme is simple in its concept. You complete an application form, which can be obtained from the Bees Superstore, if you didn't receive one on your way into the game today and return it Bees United or the Bees Superstore. You will then receive a letter and a certificate, which will show the inscription you want engraved on the brick.
Prices are £39.50 with black lettering or £49.50 with gold lettering.
You will have ten days in which to alter the wording if it is wrong or to change your mind before the brick is produced. Once the ten days have elapsed there will be no going back and the bricks will be produced!
For economic reasons the bricks will be produced in batches and as soon as we have sufficient they will be placed in the designated area.
As an added extra you can have a replica of your brick produced that you can keep at home, in the office etc. The replica bricks can only be ordered at the same time as the original. Please note we will not be able to order replicas at a later date.
The funds raised from this scheme will go towards the repayment of loans taken out by Bees United to acquire the majority share holding for Brentford Football Club.
This is your opportunity to help Build a Future for Brentford Football Club and will be a permanent reminder of the support, relatives, past, and present have given to our club. Buy a Brick, Build a Better Future.
