Pisses all over all SPL stadiums apart from ours and yet they're non entities...
interesting, my old office (Worley Parsons) immediately behind the section where they haven’t started work yet. There was talk back then (2010) that the football ground would move there. Good few bears working in the WP office at the time too...
What about the residential foundations? Seems a bit close to the ground for a flat?!
Right on the approach path to Heathrow.Hope it’s not near an airport or it may shut down the country again

I've been driving past the site for a couple of years since it was known they were moving there, and have wondered how they were going to fit a stadium in there.
Now they've started building, it still looks a very tight squeeze, but they've managed it. Almost 1000 flats too, added to the sale of the old park, I wonder how the figures work out. Must be close to a clean swap, if not a profit.
Good on them, and good luck to them.

I’m at a loss as to how it fits in there.
The train line is literally within a meter of it.
When standing in the office, it looked to me like they wouldn’t even build a final 4th stand to it.
Must be some engineering feat not to disrupt the train line and also the office foundations.
Agreed. I went to their old stadium last season and by God the new one is bound to be an improvement.Brentford are only a wee team showing some ambition. Price of land in London must take up a huge wack of build cost. They are what they are and having Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and the wee QPR as neighbours will make it difficult attracting new supporters.
Good luck to the Bees of NW Londinium.
They won’t, but there’s merit in modernising it.Griffin Park is probably the most old school ground I've been to that's currently still in use. They will never get that character in a new stadium.
