Brentford 3 Liverpool 3

A great vibe and a brilliant football match tonight at the bus stop in Hounslow.

Great stuff. So happy for Brentford fans. Spanking stadium next to loads of great pubs and by the river and a great team competing with exciting football against the greats. Wonderful.

Most people probably associate "the End Time" with cataclysmic events of some kind maybe as a result of global warming, covid 19, brexit, cycle lanes etc. all coming along together.Myself I've always associated "The End Time" with miracles; incredible events which are beyondthe power of man to understand. Having spend a goodpart of alternate foggy 60's and 70's Saturday afternoons stood shivering in the Brook Road end and watching"Brentford Nil", seeing them play on MOTD every week anddrawing praise from the likes of Lineakar and Shearer is indeed deeply troubling.Quite possibly very soon a baby will be born in Israelwho starts performing miracles of all kinds. Just so longas its not in the US, anyway.  Either that or I'll win the lottery. Which would be a miracle seeing as I don't actually buy in a ticket.But if the latter, forget all the rest; just put it down to co-incidence,        michael adams

This is not good news. Having been able to pitch up and watch the occasional game as the fancy took me, there is now no chance of me getting in to watch a match. What is the use of some of the greatest footballers on the planet getting owned by the local team on my doorstep if I can't get to see them. Bring back the days when the Bees were happy to get a draw with Wycombe Wanderers.On the bright side London Irish are playing Sale this afternoon at the stadium and there are still tickets for that. A chance to see some of the greatest rugby players on the planet by taking a short walk.

A draw there too. Almost the greatest come back since Lazarus for the exiles too.

My eyes nearly popped out when I saw the score. Thankfully like,Brentford FC, I held on to them!

I feel very lucky and blessed as my wife bought two season tickets for my football mad son and myself a couple of years ago that were rolled over during COVID and now we just watched the most amazing match.  Allison (the Liverpool goalie) was there in front of us not more than 20foot away crestfallen having let 3 superb goals in.  And then we walked home via a local pub.  Extraordinary

Me too - I bought 4 just before the 2020 Play-off Final.  I took the opportunity to freeze them during Covid and we are now absolutely loving seeing football within walking distance.  I was expecting a premium to be added when they were promoted but no extra charge.  Classy.

You now have a new football club in Hounslow, the council have finally given west London's finest the go-ahead to build a state of the art training ground at Heston - https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/club-news/planning-permission-approved-for-new-training-ground-270921/

PK: "You now have a new football club in Hounslow etc"RC: Correction: we now have a new football club training ground in Hounslow.Any idea where the football club itself will play when Loftus Road finally falls down?Wormwood Scrubs? Car Giant? Old Oak Common?Not looking too good for any of those, is it?At this rate, QPR will be begging to share a bus stop in Hounslow.And we all know what the answer to that will be lol!

I made no mention of us playing in Hounslow. Snidey remarks about the state of Loftus Road only serves to make QPR fans like myself anti the Bees. Griffin Park was a dump, only Kenilworth Road in Luton comes near it. As you know yourself, finding space for a new ground in London is almost impossible, Fulham are building new stands by the river and the other lot from SW6 can't move anywhere. Brentford found space squeezed in by storage centres and car showrooms and now see lots of new flats enclosing the ground. Hopefully we can move to the Linford Christie stadium when Hammersmith and Fulham council finally make a decision. That way we will still be in west London W12.

Peter,I suspect I know why you didn’t like Griffin Park..

Peter Cozens ● 1853d

Ooh, touchy!

Richard Cathcart ● 1853d

And that would be? It reminded me of Loftus Road pre-Jim Gregory bringing in the builders for a cheap upgrade when we reached the old 1st division. Must admit to being envious of the Trivual Pursuit question on pubs, the Griffin is a real old boozer. The state of the plumbing was always dodgy at the old ground. Best memory from being there was when Marc Bircham scored that screamer and we were at the old uncovered end. First and last time my son had ever been on a terrace

Part of Hounslow is now turning blue. Work has started on the new QPR training ground in the borough. Bet there are some on here that would like to turn Chiswick blue!
