Griffin Park is usually a sea of red and white, especially with fans flocking to TW8 to back Brentford’s push for promotion.
Tomorrow will be a little different but it is all for a good cause.
Brentford’s Sky Bet Championship match against Millwall tomorrow, Saturday March 21, has been designated Men United Day at Griffin Park.
The match has been turned over in support of Prostate Cancer UK, the Football League’s charity partner.
Prostate cancer kills one man every hour in the UK and Prostate Cancer UK supports the 250,000 men affected by the disease in the country.
The front cover of the match day programme has turned blue and white, the charity’s colours, and players will warm up in blue Prostate Cancer t-shirts.
Player/Coach Kevin O’Connor donned one of the t-shirts earlier this week to act as the programme cover star.
There will be collection buckets around the ground for those who want to donate, the mascots will be in Prostate Cancer UK scarves and the bars will be decked out in Prostate Cancer blue.
There will also be the introduction at half time of all the Brentford fans taking part in the Prostate Cancer UK Football League cycle challenge.
The third London to Amsterdam ride will see hundreds of football fans join many others with a football connection to rise 145 miles.
Graham Goodden and Gabriel Jones from Brentford Football Club Community Sports Trust will be taking part along with other Bees fans and football names including Luther Blissett, Terry Butcher and Matt Holland.

Mark Warburton, Brentford FC Manager, said: “It is important that the Club does as much as possible to support Prostate Cancer UK.
“We need to raise awareness of the illness and raise as much funds and support as we can.
“Anything we can do to help is a pleasure.”
Central defender Harlee Dean added: “It is a fact that one man in eight will get prostate cancer.
“Anything we as players can do to highlight the problem and promote awareness of this killer disease whilst at the same time supporting those who give their time to try and combat it, will receive our 100 per cent support.”
Tickets are still available for tomorrow’s match – more information can be seen here.
