I was the geezer’s face you masked out! 😂 not a bad video, there’s some of my b roll from the copa 90 video. It was a club shop. The owners are sitting on the site and want to build a higher density of housing or flats but are waiting for better economic conditions. We’re lucky to have moved to a new stadium close by which is great.

So sad, my earliest memories are my dad taking me down to griffin park, going to the corner shop to get some sweets before he had a pint in the griffin. So sad to see it a wasteland. Although still looks better empty with scattered parks of metal than with new build flats.

West Brom fan here , did 68 away grounds with Albion and Griffin Park was one of them in the early 90s . Never had a drink in those pubs and if my memory is correct we had a beer in a pub called something like the Guardsman but the chat will probably confirm this . Lovely little ground , with a good atmosphere and friendly fans . Fortunately most of my away matches were in the old third and second division so I got to see many of these characterful old grounds that no longer exist . These new generic, soulless grounds just don’t have the history or atmosphere of the old ones , glad the Hawthorns maintained its location although the atmosphere can never be replicated from the old standing grounds that used to create a cacophony of sound. Another thing politicians ruined .

Wet Spam moved miles away, Brentford are just down the road. Massive difference Griffin Park was basically finished as a stadium, it was way too small and impossible to refurbish. The move to GTEC was overdue if anything. The alternative would have been ground sharing with QPR or Fulham

As a Brentford fan always interesting to see people talk about the club like this. Just a few bits, the Princess Royal pub was actually owned by the club and they shut it down when they shut down the shop. The block of flats you were at at 10:00 used to be part of the old stand but was sold off for housing like 40/50 years ago. The big gate bit you looked in at the start of the video used to be the main biggest entranceway and set of turnstiles. You also missed an interesting bit of the old turnstiles opposite the Griffin pub. It was the entrance to the old part of the stadium which was made up of wooden benches. I. Guessing they weee condemned 30 years ago or something because that turnstile and part of the stadium was never open in my lifetime. Also the metal posts at 10:24 were the structures for the stadium development that were put in place to make one of the stands bigger but they never got planning permission so they just had these pointless metal bars hanging there. I feel we really messed up with that stadium selling bits of it off and never really developing it, the Gtech is ok but I don’t think is big enough. I think if we had maximised the potential of Griffin Park we could have got more capacity out of that. The new stadium is really a bit of I guess sports washing as cover to build a load of new flats around the new and at the old stadium site.

It's always such a shame seeing old stadiums being destroyed. As a Brighton fan, as much as I love our new stadium, I do still miss the old Goldstone Ground, even if it's been nearly 25 years since it got torn down. There was a certain.....rustic charm to it (that's a polite way of saying it was an absolute shithole lol.....but hey, it was _our_ shithole and it felt like home!). Always get a pang of regret and sadness whenever I drive past and see a retail park in that location now. Also, you should think about investing in a drone mate! That way, instead of poking your camera through the gate, you can just fly your drone over it and have a bit of a cheeky nose around without actually physically trespassing lol (not sure if there would be any legal ramifications to doing that though lol). Not that there's probably much left to see now, but still....would be cool to get a closer look inside the site.

hey mate, thanks for commenting - I was meant to have done a Brighton tour Sunday but ended up watching United vs Spurs... I was at Edgar Street in 97 and always hated Brighton for years after that as I only saw things from a Hereford perspective and I was like 8 years old 😅 In reality it was 2 clubs fighting for their lives and ended in Hereford United going bankrupt... I now really admire Brighton and have a fondness for the club... my old man keeps saying "that could have been us" but nobody is gonna invest in Hereford 🙈

I'm a lifelong Brentford fan - weekend visits to Griffin Park were a big part of my childhood. I actually moved to Spain in recent years, so I've not been to the new stadium yet. This was a heartbreaking video to watch, particularly seeing that one of the pubs didn't make it. Those pubs were a big part of the legend of our club. You'd often have to walk the whole loop to see which one wasn't busiest - or which one the away fans hadn't taken over! Thank you so much for posting this video - great memories, even thought seeing the site like this is really gutting. Have a subscribe.

My daughter was a matchday mascot at Griffin Park when she was just 10 days old back in 2014. Was the famous 'Jota in the last minute' match against Fulham. Great memories. Wish I still had the footage from that match, as it all got destroyed in a flood. The kids loved waiting after the match to see and chat to all the players before they made their way home (a lot of them catching the bus from down the road). The kids' favourite spot to watch the matches was to stand at the base of one of the floodlights. They had the perfect view from there. It was always worth the 2 hour drive from Wiltshire. So sad to see😭

9:32 "This has always been a residential parking area".... no, that used to be part of the massive partly glass roofed home end. Brentford were so short of money in the 1980's they sold off most of the home terrace for construction of those flats, resulting in a narrow double-decker end with terracing below and seating above.

I assumed this person was taking the michael and you responded. I wouldn't mind but you went to the new stadium which is literally LESS than a mile from the old ground. So Brentford FC remain very much in the heart of the old community. So how does the club improve facilities for fans and at the end the get more fans in to watch the games?. As you saw the old ground was surrounded by houses so could not be expanded and things like the toilets etc were disgusting. So I think your reminiscing for a bygone ground you never visted and was well past its ell by date is slightly strange.

I remember doing a video on Griffin Park, in the end it was more trouble than what it was worth. I got copyright striked for using a picture, yes a picture of the ground in my video which went for about 20 seconds, then I had to put in a counter claim which I won but then the guy who claims he took the picture tried to take me to the small claims court.

Nice hair trim you've got there. Although I would rather have seen more of the stadium than your face. Back in the 50s/60s I sold programmes at the Ealing Road end where they stacked the visiting fans. No cover there at all! I got the job because my uncle manned the players gate on match days. Before that, my first memory is being in the Brook Road end with my father who lifted me up and I was passed down to the front over heads only to find the terracing went below the pitch level and all I could see were boots and shin pads!

You have clearly never been to the Gtech it is built to be very close to the pitch and the tmosphere for an all seater stadium is the equal of Griffin Park with 6 thousand more fans. Stadiums will take time to get that atmosphere but the Gtech has definitely been built to get that homely feel in the future it is not a featureless bowl.
