Brentford Away

[KJP]

I don't suppose anyone got standing tickets that would prefer to sit upstairs?

I persuaded The Grub to go for the terrace one evening and then completely forgot and bought seats

Last season they didn't check tickets once you were in the ground so you could just walk into the terracing if you had a seating ticket

This is true, and if memory serves me well we sold out (or very nearly did) our allocation for the FA Cup match in January but there was a fair bit of available space to stand

The Boxing Day diversion plan is on.
Never driven to a game at Brentford.
Any tips on parking nearby?

Quite a bit of residential parking on the streets surrounding the ground. I've always found those running N-S 2-4 streets East of the ground had more spaces (10 min walk). I'm guessing that the relative non-availability of public transport on Boxing Day will mean more drive, though the fact it's a bank holiday may mean more parking is available (single yellow lines are OK on bank hols).

Any chance we will get more tickets? Managed to get mine but know others that wanna go

I asked the ticket line if any chance of more seating being made available and they said no due to it being a small stadium...
Gutted....

Doesn't look like any more being available then? Popular one for the home fans too, so understandably sold out quick everywhere...

Check the times on the plate - Bank Holidays are not always exempt. For Brentford on the 26th you need to see something like '8am - 6pm Mon-Fri' or 'Except Bank Holidays'

26th is not an official bank holiday - that is Monday 28th.

It says:

Bank holidays
The control on the residents’ parking spaces does not apply on Christmas Day, Good Friday, or on official bank holidays.

Therefore, it is likely to be in force on 26th.

Hmmmm that is going to be an interesting one for enforcement. You are correct, Boxing Day is just a normal Saturday and not officially a Bank Holiday...28th is the substitute day. But is the very notion of Boxing Day still a bank holiday in principle even at a weekend? I got a feeling the traffic wardens will have a field day on this one!

Actually, read down on your link...

It doesn't mention specifically mention Boxing Day, and according to .gov.uk Boxing day isn't an official bank holiday.

Won't bother will they? It's Boxing day hence a Bank holiday whatever day it falls. Will be a lot of appeals if they do not treat it as a bank holiday. Mmmnñn not sure.

Additionally, on Brentford's website, it says:

Please note: Roads in the vicinity of Griffin Park are now subject to a Controlled Parking Zone on matchdays. Motorcycles are exempt. Please check before you park on matchdays.

It doesn't mention how big this controlled zone is........

Westminster have actually said they're treating it as normal Sunday restrictions. Can't see that Ealing have said either way...
