Went up by cheapie coach a couple of seasons ago then caught the train, proper train not tube from Victoria, changed at Clapham Junction then got another train to Brentford as the station is only a few minutes walk. I think I did this on my Oyster card, I can’t remember. Any London dwellers know if this is covered by Oyster or do I have to buy separate train tickets please as I’m going again?

Majority of areas where the football is being played aren’t any nicer than most other towns or cities in the country, and if you’re drinking in a “nice area” beforehand before getting the tube to the football then you’re almost certainly paying upwards of £5 a pint in an area absolutely rammed with tourists. Best thing about Brentford is the ground itself in my opinion, couple more visits before it’s gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinéadB Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 If anyone is loves interesting ale and cider.. Then check out the express tavern. It's by Kew Bridge station (one before Brentford) and only a 15min walk. Also does decent food. The Griffin is the best pub if you want to go to one on the corner.

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. I’l be doing the same route on Saturday, and will be going via the Eailing Park Tavern. Will need some refreshment after all that walking......

ScottMurray'srightboot Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Let's get to The Griffin pub to the right hand side of the away end nice and early ladies and gents get some booze in us and get a sing song going. Will probably be a better couple of hours in there than the match will be so let's enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 So everyone knows, since last year's August fixture the Royal Oak has re-opened (it's the one at the other end of the away end from the Griffin). This means that all four pubs on the corners are operational once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
