Think Barnet is non-starter as they will be taking down most of the stands between May and September to get the running track back for athletics.

the club need tofind somewhere they can call home....preferably in West London where they have been for 11 years now....Brentford is exactly the kind of development they should be looking at.

By the way, the club haven't failed because they didn't try anything I suggested, they have failed because they didn't try anything at all....hope that clears that up for you as you seem to have taken an interest in my opinion of late.

This would be one of the few viable options for us to remain in London. The club would be nuts if they had not looked in to it.

I don't doubt it jb.

We don't know if we have or have not made enquiries. We can only "hope" they have apparently.

Sorry....maybe I should have said that "I" can only hope that the club has made enquiries.

RB, I am not sure what exactly your problem is with my opinion of the club, the way that it has been and is currently managed nor my assertions asto what they might try to change things?
If you believe that they are doing asplendid job, then good got you, but personally, I believe they couldn't organise a up in a brewery and as this is an open forum, I will post my thoughts on this.

Maybe the Aussie sun has helped you forget the utter clusterf**k that is Londons ESL teams attempts at running the club as a business......but believe me, the mismanagement of old is paling into insignificance when compared to the last 24 months and your sniping at me because I suggested Lionel road as an opportunity does point towards a heavy dose of sunstroke

How could my OP in this thread be deemed anything but a comment on how I believe that a plan such as Lionel road should be explored to exhaustion? Yes, I did say the potential move to Kent was badly thought out and it was.....I doubt there is a single fan of the club who would disagree. The mention of Kent had direct relevance to the thread....it was not adig at the club, just an observation.



As for me not liking being challenged? WTF?
I admit to pointing out the flaws at the club, but when I do so, I generally offer an alternative method/practice/scheme/idea etc.....I don't "snipe" for the hell of it and I welcome feedback from you and other posters......no matter how misguided

Probably not productive or of any valuse to fall out amongst ourselves. This has to be a way forward and if the Club is to survive in a meaningful form then somehow buying into this has to be the way. Its in the right part of London where we have operated for the majority of our existence - from Fulham onwards. its right size (or would be if we could grow our crowds). Gives us a prtner who we might be able to work with and a community to work with. I will buy a euromillions lottery ticket and if i win, i will approach the club - you heard it here first................................................... (Note: i havent done the lottery in years and never won when i did so dont raise your hopes!

Got to roll with GFax on the at least registering an interest with Brentford.

There are two other additional concerns; David Hughes has made it known on more than one occasion that it not only PL and Championship clubs that are not interested in sharing grounds with us, but also lower league clubs and the Griffin Park mob currently fit into that bracket.

The other is a major issue on both sides of the world and that is playing in cavernous stadiums, I would not want to move into a larger ground unless we matched the desire to actually go out and win the spectators custom, or at least paper the house in a planned manner for strategic fixtures such as Sky Live games.

This is taken from Brentford FC's community newsletter.


The project vision is to:
• Provide a modern, good quality 20,000 capacity stadium for first class professional football and rugby with the potential to generate income to secure the long term sustainability of Brentford Football Club;

So I don't know that lower league clubs are averse to sharing with 'Rugby'.

This should definitely be explored, sounds ideal. Where is Kent anyway?

LW now looking to buy a share of Kassam so perhaps opens the door for us.

Weird. They'd only need to move a few miles further from London and they'd be over the border and could call themselves Newport Welsh.

So Reading would be available.

Convenient for me, let's do it ias]
