Brentford looked at Hanwell.....very briefly, as their supporters told them that they's move there on their own......There is a much better site at Lionel road, but the financial downturn scared their partners, barratt homes, away. If they were prepared to go 50/50 on the costs, then that would be a viable option for the Broncos......as long as they run 4 trains an hour on matchday sundays!

That site at Lionel Rd wasn't big enough for the 20,000 seat stadium (God knows why Brentford want something that big) and all the surrounding developments needed to pay for it. Perhaps if they lowered their sights in terms of capacity then it might be doable. I don't see why Brentford would want anything above 15k, and even that would only be tested one game every decade.

There has also been a lot of talk on the grapevine about London Welsh RFC moving in with Brentford as they cannot redevelop Old Deer Park as it is on Crown Land.

I think this is the contingency only if they get promoted. LW's current facilities are fine for Championship.

but you felt the need to pop in and comment anyway........



I am not advocating a move back to TW8.....just pointing out that a nice stadium and a new name is not the formula for decent attendances......but community connection might be!

It isn't a nice stadum though, its a dump.

Where did I say it was a nice stadium? It's a hole, but it's a community hole......Twickenham Stoop is great, but nobody knows we are there......

...I see the club have gone down the video route again

.....370 views and counting

Sorry misread your post.



Still, awful idea.

Not saying they move back to GP.....just suggesting the sense of community isn't the same at TW2.

BTW......see they've gone for another viral video .....

We can't afford high rent. Needs to be a stadium owner genuinely after a partnership. Orient looks best bet at mo.

Well I suppose we'll get a chance to see how good a fit their stadium is come May.

They'd just play at the stoop for the one year - if ever they got promoted
