devoncider Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I'm coming from London so getting tube. Piccadilly line to South Ealing then a 15 min walk to the ground (via the Ealing Park Tavern). Outside the ground the New Inn is always rammed and will have the early kick off on. The Griffin is also a good Fullers pub on one of the corners with a good mix of home and away and a nice outdoors/smoking area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Tbh, @Alan Dicks' Barmy Army a lot of pubs are home only and I assume Brentford is no exception. Hence the pub q at least is a reasonable one IMO- where is good for away fans when it comes to drinking on an away day for this side? Ask on a forum.

We’ll be on the 9am. Best pub is the one to the right of the away end as you walk towards it, can’t temember what it’s called but it’s the one that features in Green Street.

The problem I have is the same person asks the same question about trains and pubs before many away games Do a bit of research !! As @Aaron-Bcfc mentions above Brentford is a very welcoming place, if you have not been there before there are enough websites we the information on The real problem is why do we feel the need to advertise it on an open forum? We have had games already this season where our normally quiet and hassle free pubs have been flooded by police etc after some wally announces to the world where he is going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had games already this season where our normally quiet and hassle free pubs have been flooded by police etc after some wally announces to the world where he is going The trains thing, yeah wondered about that too- seems a fairly pointless q. That's a fair point about the police thing. Brentford I'd suggest is reasonably unrepresentative in that sense- last away day I went to was Millwall, certainly different! Millwall is also a bit of an outlier at the other end of the scale in that away friendly pubs all the way out at London Bridge, but most sides definitely have a fair few home only pubs- we certainly do! The bulk of North Street, the Spanish bar, The Rising Sun, the Robins and of course the 3 Lions- have I missed any others- are clearly home only? One or both of the Miners or Coopers home only?

Never to the dark side Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Split tickets and group save are available on london bound trains An appeal if you are going by train and booking up in advance or buying on the day get your tickets issued FROM parson street to london,this also includes any rail trips you may make from bristol temple meads in the future even if you don't use the parson street bit Splits tickets buy day return from BTM/BATH/CHIPPENHAM to DIDCOT then london travel card from DIDCOT Only stipulation is the train must call at Didcot Group save gives you an extra one third off If you book up in advance you will get a free seat reservation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Ealing is a 15/20 min walk from Griffin Park depending on your pace! On the Piccadilly line though so would require a change from Paddington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about how well you can walk and what you want to do on the day If you are ok walking a fair distance and maybe want a pint in London go via Paddington If you aren't great at walking that far and not worried about a beer etc I'd do the other option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winsaw Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 If like me you don't want to go into London then get off the train at Reading and catch a train to Feltham takes about 1 hour then change and catch the train to Brentford short 10min journey, the football ground is only about 5 minutes walk from Brentford train station, I find going this way to be quicker than going into London, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used it in the past, but when booking up this time, I noticed that was one of the restrictions where you can no longer use it. Perhaps it would work BTM - Didcot though, I didn’t check.
