Vs Scunthopre (6th August)

Last updated : 05 August 2005 By Smallsy
Brentford begin life in League One this year on the back of last season's success, the question amongst most Bees fans is can they repeat or improve on what they did last year.

The bookies rank them as 12th favourites but will they be correct and will Martin Allen bring some stability to Brentford.

We start our campaign against Scunthorpe at Griffin Park on Saturday so let's take our usual look at the pre match odds.
