A few good pubs close by as well.

What station will they use for new ground I think it’s only a few miles from old ground

Both Acton and gunnersbury underground same for British rail stations.... think its about 1.5 from old ground .. these stations I dont think serve old ground

All these soul less new stadiums. What was wrong with their old ground?

Precisely that it was old and could not be updated just like ninian park? also it is being shared with London irish (,I think)as it's a community stadium

Structurally, these buildings have a shelf life before they become very expense to maintain in order to meet their health and safety requirements for events such as football matches. Plus, also financially, a new ground can return far bigger event income through larger crowds/hospitality etc. Plus the club becomes more attractive to new fans and prospective players alike. I agree that it’s hardly a romantic tale

One of my favourite away days was at Griffin Park the year loads got locked out, the atmosphere in the away end was immense.

Forgot it's a shared stadium with rugby club as well so financially good for them!

This new ground looks quite bizarre because it is built with a railway line or tube line on three sides of it. The nearest train station is the overground Kew Bridge Station which is literally a stones throw away (behind one of the new stands). The new ground will be capable of holding 17,250 fans (including 2,930 Premium Seats) 5,000 more capacity than Griffin Park. Currently Brentford only allocate 1,600 tickets for away fans. It is hoped that will rise to around the 2,000 mark. To be frank the new location is even better than Griffin Park (even without the pub on every corner).

Googled it and according to web site acton and gunnersbury are closest stations both are rail and underground ones thought kew was near old ground?

Brentford Station was nearest to the old ground. Kew Bridge is 100% the nearest station to the new ground.

Just re looked saw different site and it is closer! the other two are within a mile

It's looking good fair play and only round the corner from Griffin Park. A lot of parallels to City leaving Ninian to be honest. Take my boy down Brentfors a lot and am gonna really miss Griffin Park but the Brentford owner has some big ambitions and it fills a nice community role with London Irish as well so good for the area in general.

Yes plenty scope to boost income with better facilities? Hope under the stands concourse areas are like city's getting pissed off with the substandard crap at every ground go to!
