It has been the home of Brentford Football Club since 1904 . It was also the home ground for the London Broncos Rugby League club, until their move to The Stoop at the end of the 2005 Super League season. It is situated in a predominantly residential area. It comprises four stands: the Ealing Road end, an uncovered terrace (Allocated to away fans), the New Road stand, a single tier seated stand (allocated to home fans), the Brook Road stand, a double tiered stand, comprising terracing at the lower level and seating in the upper section, and, finally, the Bremaer Road stand (Main Stand) a seated single tier stand. TRIVIA It is known for being the only English league football ground to have a Pub on each corner. Three of them are owned by the Fuller's Brewery , and the fourth, the Princess Royal, was recently purchased by the football club. The ground gets its name from the Griffin in the logo of Fuller's Brewery, which at one point owned the land on which the stadium was built. Griffin Park is beneath the flightpath of London Heathrow Airport and the roofs of the Stadium are used as Europe 's largest outdoor advertising space because of this. The advertising space is currently used by Qatar Airlines. NEAREST RAIL STATIONS EXTERNAL LINKS - Griffin Park can be seen as a square on the west side of Ealing Road (ie. left side on the map). It may be labelled ''Brentford FC'' rather than Griffin Park. |
