http://www.skysports.com/football/n...of-calm-and-stability-in-chaotic-championship Brentford's B team is the only one of its kind in England. It is an U23s team but they do not compete in domestic youth leagues, instead organising their own matches against some of the best clubs across Europe. In the last month alone, they have beaten both Inter and AC Milan in Italy, and Manchester City on their lavish Etihad Campus. (I'm not sure why they can't play those matches plus u23 matches. They don't play every week )
Seems a strange one. Like you I can’t see why they don’t play league games as well. Didn’t we play Man Utd last season or the one before in a behind closed doors game with mainly u23’s & a couple of first teamers as well
