Reigate Red Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 8 minutes ago, tomo said: Me and my nephews are taking my son aged 7 - I have been to Brentford many many times but has anyone found a standing position on the terraces where my lad will 1) be safe and 2) be able to see the match? You can get a slightly better view right at the back against the wall if you stand on the concrete bases to the stanchions - they are reasonably big to easily stand on. However given your son is 7 they may not be high enough. Probably find there will be a queue for these now that I've given it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatalist Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Confirmation from local site of M4 closure: Drivers heading to the west of Reading are warned of a series of weekend closures of the M4 for essential repairs to two bridges. The project means the total closure of the motorway in both directions between junction 12 atTheale and junction 13 at Chieveley. Highways England has announced it will carry out the work to the bridges which carry the M4 over Ashampstead Road and Dark Lane near Bradfield. The work will see road resurfacing, replacing deck beams, bridge joints and sections of the safety barrier carried out. This means the road will be closed from 9pm on Friday until 6am on Monday for four consecutive weekends in April and May. Drivers are advised a diversion will be in place via the A4 through Newbury, Thatcham and Woolhampton. The work will be carried out on the following weekends: Friday, March 31, to Monday, April 3 Friday, May 5 t, to Monday, May 8 Friday, May 12 to Monday, May 15 Friday, May 19 to Monday, May 22 There will also be overnight lane restrictions between the same times in place on the westbound carriageway between Friday, July 7, and Monday, July 10 and on the eastbound carriageway between Friday, July 28 and Monday, July 31.

Sweeneys Penalties Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Read this story this morning and it just didn't ring true. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-fans-need-take-15608. I was at a meeting at Chievely on Tuesday evening and was sure the closure read differently. Seems I was right http://www.highways.gov.uk/our-road-network/our-network/key-roads/m4/ To sum up, the M4 at Chievely is NOT closed from 9pm on Friday (March 31) until 6am on Monday (April 3). It IS closed from 9pm to 6am but doesn't affect traffic during daylight hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 whoosh. Anyone else got any info? They seems to be conflicting info here. It doesn't affect me personally as I go via different route, but if I was coming from Bristol I'd want to know what I was facing before leaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ealing Robin Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 As someone who works in Theale,and been screwed with this before, That diversion will easily add on half an hour plus with the level of traffic going through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get the tube from Victoria to London Waterloo. Circle and district line to Westminster and jubilee line to Waterloo and then get the train from Waterloo to Brentford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to add to the options but you could also get the train from Victoria one stop to Clapham Junction and change for train to Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddoh Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 just to make you all aware I will not be there but can ten thousand turn up without a ticket claim to be locked out and then quote 70,000 of us turned up only to be locked out.

I actually work in Brentford so know the area pretty well. You can get a tube (piccadilly line) from Hammersmith to South Ealing (only 2 stops) and then either get the 65 or walk (15/20 minutes).. That should take about 30 minutes. Or the same from Earls Court (you actually pass Hammersmith that way, so better get off there if the bus lets you). If you go to Victoria, it's much quicker to get the train to Clapham Junction (only takes a few mins) and then the train from platform 5 (they are every 15 minutes and take about 20 minutes to Brentford).

Get off at Hammersmith they're usually fine with this, then get Piccadilly line to South Ealing or Northfields which are both in walking distance to ground (10/15 mins).

Junction 13-12 definitely closed, diversion through Newbury.
