Re: Brentford Away
I can only endorse Willy's sentiments. I was between houses last year and rented a place in Brentford for a few weeks, and a fine place it is too, a working class enclave in the midst of the posh egg-chasers of Richmond and followers of QPR, Chelsea and Fulham, once proud, independent football clubs now reduced to the status of rich mens' playthings. Brentford fans are the real thing, so don't be afraid to say hello.
Brentford is also the location of some of West London's better pubs, none of which, alas, can be found around the ground. For those wishing to imbibe something which consists of more than just gas and chemicals, set your compass to the town centre (10 mins from Griffin Park) and head for (in order of preference):
O'Brien's (11 London Rd, TW8 8JB)
The Magpie & Crown (128 High St, TW8 8EW)
The Brewery Tap (47 Catherine Wheel Rd, TW8 8BD)
Of the pubs around the ground, the Griffin is the most popular, you'll find the Fullers range on sale here, but at £3.20 a pint it is notoriously expensive.
The London Stanley brigade will be out in force, please do come and join us if you're around, starting approx 12.30 in O'Briens.
