The nearest train station is Brentford, which is around five minutes walk away from the ground. This station is on the London Waterloo to Reading line, which normally run every 15 minutes on Saturday afternoons. To get from the station to the ground, exit onto Station Road. Take the first right into Orchard Road, right again into Windmill Road and then first left into Hamilton Road which leads into New Road and the ground.

Caleb Johnstone-Cowan informs me; 'The nearest Underground Station to the ground is South Ealing, which is on the Piccadilly Line. This tube station is around a 15 minute walk from the ground, down Ealing Road'. Mick Hubbard adds; 'Finding the ground is easy enough though - you simply turn right out of the tube station and just go straight down Ealing Road, taking your life in your hands to cross the A4 at the bottom'! Otherwise as you come out of the station cross over to the other side of Ealing Road and catch a number 65 bus down to the ground.

Intimidating walks back to the station (in this league).

1. Hartlepool ('Come on then you southern softy cunt!')
2. Bristol City (if not under escort).
3. Stockport (got followed out the ground by about 70 lads!)

Then you've got Luton, Port Vale. Most intimidating walk ever, Swansea (was a tuesday night game) then Cardiff (two seasons ago), then probably Stoke - which had a more surreal feel about it because of the new stadium.

Brentford one of the least intimidating in the league.

No, basically....

Matey boy from Sheff Utd is in the pub, they're on telly right? He's already pissed, and he goes off on one saying 'he's a loyal diehard fan.'

So I politely ask him 'why aren't you at the game then mate?'

Ouch

I remember getting shouted at in the city centre that same game.  Then afterwards some of their lot just walking through all the Swindon fans leaving down the road.
