Last updated : 08 November 2005 By Smallsy
Brentford fans fear their bid to buy back the club from former owner Ron Noades may be in vain as the club is set to fall short of their fund raising target with the deadline only hours away.

The Bees supporters trust are £150,000 short of the total with time ticking away. Trust chairman Brian Burgees told the Ealing Times,

"This is the last chance saloon for the fans if they want to own the club outright"

"We are still short of the One million pound target which we needed to raise to complete the takover from owner Ron Noades and we only have till the end of today to find it" The worried Burgees continued.

"The alternative is for us to help the existing Brentford board negotiate with an outside investor to put money in" he finished off by saying."
