Pubs Of Griffin Park - The Old & New

🎙 @VinnieSull1van
🎥 @ChelseaDan5
@ChelseaDan5 rightfully highlighted to myself (@VinnieSull1van), the drastic changes that have taken place in #Brentford. #GriffinPark was once the home to a stadium that was enclosed by lovely terrace housing. A unique & special pub world existed around the old stadium which we discuss in the video.
The new stadium offers little joy in comparison with the old and highlights both the importance of pubs and football and how they're so indebted to each other.
The wonderful @TheGriffin_TW8 welcomed us & allowed us to film in their stunning public house. More of the #Griffin pub will be released in a separate video where we will thank them once again.

Good stuff vin, had the pleasure of going to griffin park many times in the 90s, the new gaff looks souless,

Great video, nice to see most of the pubs still alive. Gotta be 75% of pubs in the area shut when we moved from Upton Park, most of the ones remaining very different.

Hard to find Brentford’s away end in the high rise

“This probably is a much greater representation of Brentford F.C and it’s memories than the new stadium will ever be” - fucking amen to that!
Visited the new one a couple times and it’s utter shite in every aspect. Up there with West Ham and Brighton’s as the worst in the Prem. Criminal what happened to Griffin Park (along with so many other stadiums), and the first pub you mentioned.

The new stadium and its surroundings are an abomination.
