Hot on the heels of slavetraders 82 getting permission to revamp gashton gate , Brentford will tomorrow find out if Hounslow council will give the go ahead for their proposed new stadium

Brenfords had an average attendance of 6302 last season so of course a 20000 seater stadium is needed  ::)


While the posh have begun pulling down the Moy end ( visiting ) terrace

Shame as that wasnt a bad end and another terrace bites the dust. 2500 seater stand going up in its place

Watch the Hounslow Council Planning Application Meeting live at 1930 tomorrow:

I've just text messaged Adrian Durham's show to elicit a response re: the demolition.

Just shows we need to do something with CG and fairly soon if we want to keep up.

I liked the away terrace at Peterborough, shame.

re: Brentford. Where's the pubs. Tell me they are staying..

910 residential apartments no mention of pubs

That's barely bigger than the Town End, and almost certainly smaller than the terrace it will replace.  Interesting.

It's a complete relocation Batch. Moving a mile away, pending the outcome of tomorrow's meeting. When/if they move in 2016 the pubs will doubtless either be bulldozed for housing or fold due to their staple income having evaporated.

Arent AFC Wimbledon getting a new stadium aswell?

Fucking tinpot happy clappers

Thanks. I know they have to progress, but it'll be a sad day too.

1000 less than currently but seating not terracing so stand always a lot bigger

Who? Posh or bees. Last went to posh when coxy got a brace. Never been to GP  :-[

I liked that posh stand....

Witnessed Sturrocks equaliser there...

Staple income? Do you think any pub can really survive on a 1/4 share of the drinkers amongst a crowd of 6,000 for a few hours on 30 odd days a year?

Ok then, explain how there exists 4 pubs in such close proximity in a residential area, if not for the fact that they are all heavily patronised on match days.

I bet the Tap and Barrell does more business on a match day Saturday than it does the rest of the week combined.

Brentford's new ground approved the same day that they grant Wigan permission to talk to boss Uwe Rosler:

That's the skids on their promotion push then  :pint:

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Now the council have given it the go ahead I think it has to be ok'd by Boris the bellend as mayor

Makes them a bit more likeable. Always respected them as a club but their conduct on the pitch in the playoffs was infuriating.

Let's not kid ourselves though they are definitely heading in the right direction, Uwe or not.

Pretty much agree Tails although they'll be royally fucked if they lose the rich bloke. Pretty much like a lot of clubs and just as we were.

Good on them, massive boost that. Hopefully one day we'll have the same sort of news.
