This weekend, Brentford will host Sunderland at the Gtech Community Stadium for a Premier League encounter, with kickoff scheduled for 3 PM BST on Saturday. The Bees, under the guidance of head coach Keith Andrews, are eager to build on their strong start to the season, and the matchday programme promises to be an engaging read for fans.
The feature interview in this edition of the matchday programme spotlights summer signing Jaidon Anthony. In his conversation, Anthony opens up about the personal challenges he faced, particularly the loss of his mother in 2024, and how football has played a crucial role in his healing process. He also shares insights on the importance of family in his career and expresses his excitement about returning to London, which he feels will make Brentford feel like home.
This interview is part of a series called the Long Read, which aims to provide fans with deeper connections to the players and staff. The revamped 2026/27 programme is available for just £3 this season, making it an affordable collectible for supporters.
In addition to the feature interview, the programme includes a variety of content designed to engage fans. Keith Andrews contributes a segment titled 'From the Dugout,' where he reflects on Brentford's performance so far this season and discusses the recent transfer window activities. The programme also features columns from former Brentford striker Ben Burgess and comedian Nathan Caton, alongside insights from BBC Radio London broadcaster Phil Parry.
Another highlight is the segment 'The Game that Changed Everything,' which presents in-depth interviews with former players reminiscing about pivotal matches in their careers. This edition will feature Alex Rhodes, who recalls a crucial final-day clash against Bournemouth during the 2003/04 season.
Fans will also find a pull-out poster of Brentford striker Callum Wilson, illustrated by artist Dave Flanagan. Additionally, the 'Behind the Bees with Indeed' section offers a glimpse into various roles within the club, showcasing the people who contribute to Brentford's success both on and off the pitch. For those interested in statistics, 'Stat Attack' by Stephen Gillett will delve into key numbers and a head-to-head analysis between Brentford and Sunderland that could influence the outcome of the match.
Supporters eager to get their hands on the Sunderland matchday programme can purchase it online or at various locations around the stadium on matchday, including the Hive Superstore and multiple kiosks throughout the venue.
