What is the capacity going to be?

17,500 but expandable.

 

[Frankie]

Looks nice enough , loved going to Griffin Park games in the past very old school away end , a similar path to us looks on the cards , good luck to them .

17,500 but expandable.

Matthew Benham just can't keep up with his ex-mate Tony can he?, even his club's new ground is littlle more than half the size.

 

[Swansman]

They have a great team as well. Dont know about the manager, who looks like a Danish cocaine dealer and had no clue what he was doing any time they played Swansea last year, but the squad is definitely top 3 in the Championship.

Any photos of palaces new stand.
It must be nearly finished as we're now in the second year since planning permission was granted.

That piece of ground has laid waste for years.
I go past it quite often and have seen how it's developed recently, agree about Griffin Park, reminds me of going to the Goldstone.
Tony Bloom should've put copyright on the 'community' aspect of the naming of the stadium, Benham still jealous I guess

Amex was not much bigger (23k) when it opened.

The Amex was only 22.5k when first built though!

 

[Notters]

Be interesting to see how they would expand, it's a very tight site. Buckingham build too.

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

Really impressive side. Could challenge Leeds if they do a Leeds

I think it looks good. Is it a ground share with London Irish rugby or just football?

 

[Grombleton]

My mate is a Brentford fan and is very excited about both the new stadium and how the team is progressing - they have some of the most exciting players outside of the top flight.

Possibly going with him to a match, if they get a home or close away game in the next round of the Cup. He came to the Amex on saturday with me (and yes I have apologised to him for sitting through that).

Good club, hope they do well, even if our respective Fathers aren't talking to each other.

One step at a time. They have only just finished the ring fence for the money.

London Irish ground share, not sure what the commercials are behind this. Good public transport links, this is going to be an interestng development.

 

[Surf's Up]

I presume all the flats also being built on the same site will pay for the football stadium?

Will they have to re apply after 3 years?

Brentfords ground looks good.

Already way ahead of you

I’ll be going to Griffin Park for the last time in a few weeks. Good old traditional ground - sad that it’s going but new stadium looks good.
