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



http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25189167

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


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

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

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.

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

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.
