Does anyone know from experience whether it's easy enough to get on the first train back after the game? I'm assuming that 5:12 to Clapham might be rather crowded?

Off to the game tomorrow but can't decide the best way to get there.

Doesn't seem to be any parking, any ideas?

Yes used to be the 237 yhears ago. No idea if it still is though.

Edit . . . Not that anyone would be the slightest bit interested.

LOL.. to be fair, there is a social club (Working mans club) just round the corner from the station... Cheap as chips too!

Griffin Park was always unique, in that it had a pub on all four corners of the ground.

I believe one or two them have closed now, but I believe at least a couple still exist.

The Royal Oak has definately closed. Probably the worst of the three to be honest. I read somewhere that BFC were going to reproduce this at the new ground by having a big bar on each corner.

Will probably drive. Usually no problem parking nearby, and Sunday trains likely to be even more shite than normal. Station at Brentford usually doesn't have a lot of stopping services from previous experience.

Stood on Brentford station after the game a couple of years ago for 45 minutes before a train actually stopped there. Can imagine a sunday will be worse.
