[Football] Brentford Community Stadium

[Surrey_Albion]

If your child went through racism at school sure you would feel different. What your parents call you versus what a celeb calls you clearly in a derogatory way even it that derogatory way maybe wasnt what he meant (Still dont buy that). You are the racist here because you still cant see it.[/Q

Excuse me but my youngest is dark skinned. If someone sats monkey or see that picture and the first thing you think is the monkey represents someone who is dark skinned then you are the racist. When i saw that phot i thought along the lines of or evolution NOT race

Is this thread about Brentford’s new stadium or Danny Baker?

The Mods need to change the thread title and monitor it for Bear Pit potential

Definitely more posts about Baker.

He hates royals that has been part of his career as well. OK many dont like them. Not being aware of using a chimp to be derogatory to a person of colour was an ignorance that I dont believe him capable of. He knew what he was doing. I have never seen him apologise for it either.

He took the post down and apologised immediately after it was pointed out to him. He knows very well that the use of a chimp would be offensive in association with a black person. At the time he didn't know, like myself and many others, that Markle was of mixed race - It's kind of important to remember that!

You dont see it because you arent black and make excuses for it

When he deleted it he just said it was a joke but I see now he has made a full apology so I should take that back.

Has the ground been given a proper name yet?

So when you watch Tee and Mo for instance ( cbeebies) do you see them as a black single patent family or , what they are, a monkey mum and child? I see them as Monkeys if you relate them to anything or anyone else I suggest you are the one with the problem

All this is just shocking! Am I to understand that Brentford are naming their ground after Danny Baker because they liked the monkey baby photo? This is a disgrace.

I don't fancy being a ball boy on match day, collecting the wayward balls from the M4, especially in peak time

Good for Brentford, genuinely pleased for them.

Presumably the large stand on the side will be for away fans? [emoji6]

North East corner is for away fans

Can’t say I’m a huge fan of the design, though I do like the like the stand that’s runs tight to the fence along the railway line, a bit of school about it. The upper section of the big stand looks a bit messy, are they holding something back for expansion like we did?

Exactly what I was thinking. DB didn't even post the tweet that everyone seems to be banging on about – all he did was retwat it

First game at the new stadium is underway in the Carabao Cup, and Brentford have scored their first goal.

Did they get those seats cheap as none of them seem to match. Must be leftovers from other stadiums [emoji1].

I think it looks great, if any seats are empty it has the look as if it is full.......bit of an optical illusion. If someone had said when we were playing at Gillingham or even The Withdean
that would be similar to a new build for us in the pipeline we would have been overjoyed. Good luck to Brenford, great little club even though my car was jumped by supporters up there and i lost a wing mirror.

I’ve heard a suggestion it’s intentionally done so that when the stadium isn’t full, it doesn’t look as obvious to the eye as is the case when all seats are the same colour.

He he i said that Bozza, i actually wouldn't mind our seats in different colurs of blue, grey, black & white. I think it would have the effect of a 'full" stadium. Call it tinpot if you like but i would imagine it would work.

Anyone able to do a mock up of The Amex with seats of different colours?
