[Football] Brentford Community Stadium

[Superphil]

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 .

Which away end did you prefer? Personally downstairs in the little two tier stand was my favourite but I know some liked the larger terrace at the other end.

I preferred the end opposite the Albion fans that went bat sh!t crazy after Hemed made it 3-3, and that Stockdale save

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

I read initially they had planned for 910 apartments, not sure how many they are finally ending up with but it looks a lot.

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.

Will it have a pub on each corner though?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Good for Brentford, genuinely pleased for them.

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

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

Your almost right it used to be a rubbish tip run by an Irish firm who made an absolute killing selling it.

Good for them, marvellous memories of hundreds of baying Brentford fans in the stand adjacent to the away end chanting “HIV, HIV, HIV; HIV, HIV, HIV” at us back in the day. Great days, great guys.

No but I’m told it’s uniqueness will be maintained by being closer to a station than any other stadium.

Someone's not a fan.

Someone tell Baker that a pub outside the ground on every corner is not the same as facilities inside the ground. My recollection of Brentford was having to piss through a fence at half time because there was no urinal and only one cubicle for the whole of the away support. I was not alone. I also rememberour our supporters kicking off because the hamburgers were frozen in the middle. A traditional shit hole of a ground, surrounded by traditional pubs. Presumably Baker was blind drunk before he got into the stadium on his visits. The prat.

Incidentally, what has happened to that great new career that he was going to launch at the start of 2020? I havn't seen hide nor hair of him since his (unfair) dismissal from R5.

Danny Baker is a prick, that;s all anyone needs to know and remember when reading anything he has written

I like him.

His podcasts with Linekar are a decent listen

Can't think of two worse people to listen to, but all a matter of opinion

Agree re Griffin Park.

However, I like Danny Baker his books are very amusing.

I really like it. Brentford remind me a lot of us and I hope they finally make it next season and don't get ripped apart too much by Prem sides. That stadium is levels above some of the other london clubs like Palace, Millwall, QPR who are a similar size. Would love to visit this ground one day.

I like Baker too. Love the books and loved his radio and TV music shows. But his hubris after the last sacking seems missplaced. Even though the sacking was wrong.

It's all about nuance isn't it. And opinions.

Now Lineker IS a prick. A grade 1 swordsman with more skeletons in his closet than a haunted house down the fairground.

Absolutely - helps make the world go round....... [emoji106]

sacking did seem very harsh (well to me anyway).
