  • After exploring the old home of Brentford Football Club - Griffin Park - I went on a Gtech Community Stadium Tour ⚽️ The NEW Home of BRENTFORD FC... It was good! But I do feel that clubs lose a piece of their soul when they move out of their historic homes and into a new swanky football stadium. What do you guys think⁉️ Let us know in the comments below & check out the previous video where we take a look at GRIFFIN PARK in 2024 👉🏽 • BRENTFORD'S CREEPY ABA... ...SUBSCRIBE for more videos like this! 👍🏽

    It is a nice stadium and we needed to move from Griffin Park… I’m glad we didn’t get a generic bowl.
    I’ve had a season ticket from League 2 to the Prem and still can’t believe where we are (still prefer the lower leagues - but enjoying the journey while it lasts )

      @@georgeeffraimidis5610 ah I go to games, so it’s a different vibe .. The Prem is “nice” made for tv /plastic/soulless etc etc I’ve seen CR7, Haaland & other “superstars” play my team live… I’m just a customer in the Prem easily replaced.. where as in the lower leagues you feel valued and it’s a different connection, when there’s only 100 odd Brentford away fans going to the arse end of nowhere for a night game - just my opinion of course :)

    Remember seeing Brentford getting relegated to League Two at the end of the 2006/07 season, when they lost to my local team, Tranmere. Amazing to see how far they have come since then!

    Another great video mate .Brentford is my local team and my auntie used to live next to the old Griffin park stadium the Wall was at the end of her little terraced house and her toilet was in the back garden ,,,lol
    I never under stood why they didnt make the Gtech twenty thousand seater with FFP you need the increased revenue to be able to spend and compete .

    • @RysFootyParadise
      @RysFootyParadise  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Very cool mate I bet that was class as a kid growing up! The guide said something about the limited space and how those few extra thousand seats would be a drop in the ocean financially compared to tv revenue etc... But I agree with you - why not at the end of the day income is income and if Brentford dropped out of the Premier, there would be more emphasis on revenue sources such as match day tickets

    @owenyowenface 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    It's quirky,completely unobstructed view of the pitch from all four sides (which makes it vastly superior to both Griffin Park & Craven Cottage in that regard) it has superb concourse facilities,is well connected to the public transport network...but....but....the capacity is restricted to it's wedge like location.I dont think it can be expanded so the amount of ticket sale revenue it can create is limited. Interesting to note that London Irish RUFC groundshared here up untill their withdrawl from the professional scene, it would suit a second club coming into groundshare, maybe London Broncos RLFC because of their shirt colour,though they now seem to have settled nicely at AFC Wimbledon's new ground

      I don’t think so. The new Cherry Red stadium where they now play is on the same site, I believe. I may be wrong. I visited the old Plough Lane years ago and made my first visit to the Cherry Red last season in my quest to do the 92 which I’m slowly closing in on.
