| My family and I enjoyed our time playing at Griffin Park. Although the facilities were not the best.
Having small kids at the time, we were well looked after by the staff.
I remember the McDonalds down the road and The Griffin pub which we parked near and would often get a drink.
It seems such a long time ago and I did not realise that we were there for such a long time.
Games that come to mind were the thrashing of Wakefield. Liam Botham conversion from the far side line to grab us a draw against Leeds and the mid week International game.
For me though, I always think of the Cowgirls whenever I think of Griffin Park.
Happy days !

| My kids were mascots at Griffin Park too. I remember them running out with Jimmy Dymock and Steele Retchless.
I was reminded of the stubby bottles of VB Bitter that came in a bucket. Sold in the entrance at GP.

| Wasn't one of the offers in the Metro £20 for a terrace ticket and 4 beers? Something like that anyway. I liked Griffin Park, and we got our best average attendances there too.

| I think it was the best ground we played at. Lots of good memories of when we played there, the best one was when Steve Cooper (Homer) were mascots for a midweek game against Huddersfield. It was a red hot day so Steve and i decided to sit by the players entrance and have a cigarette and a beer after the game kicked off, we suddenly became famous when the Sky cameras filmed us.

The Stoop. A halfpounder with cheese, no onions, and brown sauce.
I don't recall the burgers at The Valley.

| Dunno about burgers but the roast beef rolls with mustard & horseradish we used to get from the Millennium Bar Carvery at Charlton took some beating.

Should have had the hot dogs, they were excellent!

| I'd get off the 65 bus just over Kew Bridge and pop in to the 2 pubs right there by the bus stops
They've gone now. One was a Fullers pub. I just can't recall the names of them.
Then I'd stroll up to The Royal Oak and meet mates in there for a couple more, before taking my place on the Ealing Road terrace.
Happy days.
