Brentford Away!

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Get there early enough and you will be able to park.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Anyone know if more tickets are going to be available or the chances of getting in the home end or POTG?

I hear the trains are buggered too?

Trains will be fecked if you have any luck getting a ticket, 2.5 hours from Brighton to Victoria

Get off the train at Kew Bridge. Loads of places to drink there.

Yes. Have been pondering departure time...have never done the car run to Brentford, particularly on Boxing Day...what say you?

 

[Grizz]

Parking is an absolute binfest on match days. I'm about 5 streets away and everything is taken about 45 mins before kick off. Also with no South West Trains on the Brentford line that day it'll be even worse.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Anybody with a clue about parking up there?

Don't assume if you park in a nice, tree-lined avenue that your car will be safe. And if you see my laptop from 10 years ago, feel free to let me know. For all the local constabulary cared, the smashed glass is probably still on the side of the road.

 

[Bold Seagull]

There is a lot of street parking near the ground. Usually its in a parking zone, however it seems as its a public holiday its all fair game.

From:
http://www.hounslow.gov.uk/index/transport_and_streets/parking/street_parking.htm#holidays
"Public and bank holiday parking restrictions

The on-street, off street 'pay and display' charges and controlled parking zones (excluding the Twickenham Event Day CPZ) do not apply on public and bank holidays"

London Boroughs of Ealing & Hounslow both allow free parking on bank holidays so will be ok

Boxing Day is not an official bank holiday. https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays

Westminster for example are operating normal Sunday restrictions for Boxing Day.

 

[BBassic]

Supporters coach seemed like easiest option given the trains and blah blah blah.

 

[Miximate]

I'm driving up with Jnr from Burgess Hill and have pre-arranged local parking with 'park-on-my drive.com'

I have space for 3 and can collect from outside B'Hill Railway Stn (or nearby) if anyone wants a lift

Will be looking to get to the ground around 45 mins before kick-off

I will be looking for a swift departure after the final whistle

Please feel free to pm me if interested

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Does anyone want to swap their 2 seated tickets for 2 in the terrace i have?

I posted this on the other parking thread, but for anyone who doesn't see that, but are paying attention to this one I figured I'd post it here, too.

Thanks for that, I was a bit concerned about parking.

 

[Dandyman]

Another request for a spare, should anyone have one.

 

[UaeGull]

Yet another request for any spare ticket. Meet at the ground. Happy Christmas to all Seagull readers!

 

[Albion100]

Brentford website says that normal parking restrictions do apply around the ground because boxing day is a Saturday.

Hi Acker. I still can't work out if this definitely includes the spaces around the ground as they don't mention bank holidays on the signs.

Hi Acker. I still can't work out if this definitely includes the spaces around the ground as they don't mention bank holidays on the signs.

So pay & display parking and car parks are free, but 'other' parking restrictions remain in place. Double yellows is their obvious example but I'd assume permit holders only parking, 2 hour limits etc all fall under the 'other' category.
