About the Ground
Brentford's ground was open in 1904 and at the moment holds 12,763 but work is taking place at the old away end with a roof being built. So the away supporters are allocated in the seats in the Braemar Road stand.
Crewe has a decent record over Brentford in recent years having won 5 games in a row over the Bees (2-1 in 2002/3, 2-0 in 1996/97 and a 1-0 Play-off win at Wembley in that same year)
Where to Drink
Brentford is famous for having one thing, a pub on every corner of the ground. The Griffin Brewery, hence formerly owned the surrounding area the name Griffin Park.
The four pubs are The Royal Oak (Small locals pub), The Griffin (Real ale pub), The Princess Royal and The New Inn.
The New Inn is known as an away supporters pub and can get busy. For another real ale pub why not try the Magpie & Crown which is only five minutes from the ground and for those who like live football why not try the Potters Arms just up the road from The New Inn.
