Looking for some advice

Hello everyone, Tranmere fan in peace here. I am moving to the area in a few weeks (new job) and have decided that I will need a team to watch seeing as how I will miss it too much if I don't! And have always liked Brentford when have seen you at Prenton Park.

Was hoping someone could give me info on the best places to sit for the game, good watering holes before and after, etc etc

Cheers

Hello mate, we've got a mate who comes to GP and the occassional mad away game who
likes both Liverpool and Tranmere. He's been enjoying the fruits of following the Bees for
20 odd years and lives in Isleworth, just down the Rd. He sounds like a posh scoucer now.

I've got another mate who also comes from the North who used to love our awaydays.
Both joined us at Cheltenham away and after meeting up, they realised that they went to school together.
small world eh, eh, eh, ehlol

The Globe is da pub !!

If you want some atmosphere then standing up in Ealing Road is best; sitting in the New Road around the halfway line gives the best view of the game IMO.

Nice to have you on board......but be careful you dont get hooked! Paddock is quite fun if you want a seat....and the Griffin good to watch the lunchtime kick-off in (except this Sat)

If you a bubbly happy chap you better wear ear plugs if sitting in new road. Unless you want to experience what it is like to be on death row for 90 minutes

Push Up Brentford man is around midway on New Road (or at least used to be back in the days when I lived in London and actually got to go to home games) and I don't think anyone has properly experienced Griffin Park unless they have enjoyed/endured his contribution to the matchday experience.

What sort of bloke comes on here boasting he's taken a local mans job and is ready to switch his allegiance - I think I smell a scally scam being hatched. Next question, wheres the best place to park a nice car
in a secluded, private spot away from the main road!!!!

Anyway, if you like a lot of moaning with your football, suggest you come and join us old gits in the New Road, if you're old, fat and like SI but can't fit into it anymore try The Paddock and if you like singing "nasty songs" about the players, the Ealing road welcomes you.

I started watching Brentford in similar circumstances, and be warned that you can end up changing your allegiance if you're not careful. It's not so much that Brentford is a great little club (although it is), as that if you go and watch any team regularly you can't help getting sucked in - especially if first impressions are good, as they were for me (League 2 winners in late 90s) and look like being again this season.

Although I have watched Portsmouth as an away supporter at GP a couple of times, they haven't played each other since I started coming regularly. I'm not looking forward to that happening (even though it might mean that Brentford had been promoted).

The biggest downside to being a late convert is that you don't get the nostalgia, memories of 60s and 70s legends that you have with your childhood team.

You're probably not thinking of undergoing the full conversion like me, and no doubt you'll be at the away end when Tranmere visit - but if you're not careful you will get hooked. Hope you enjoy the experience.

BTW, I'm pretty sure that the abovementioned 'Push Up Brentford' man is about midway between halfway and Ealing Road end, on the end of a row about halfway back. I suggest you sit next to him, so that others don't have to.

Welcome to Brentford. Ealing Road or the Paddock i suggest. The Globe, The Watermans or The Royal Oak for a beverage.

I generally find sitting behind a pillar in new road gives me the best experience.

Braemar road has been ignored by the above posters but has its merits. You have to be member to get into c and d block which are on the halfway line and the best view. I tend to sit in E block and make my way to the back and as near to the half way line as possible. A bit of space to spread out, somewhere to put your drink and your program and you pie on the seats around you. Not many people who want to talk to you so you can grumble to yourself all you like.

You can go into the paddock and pretend your hard, wear a baseball cap and stick your chest out to the oppos fans and sing solo songs if that is your thing. Generally you will receive plenty of abuse from the away end as the core brentford singers are behind the other goal at the far end and you tend to be a solitary force in that area. In fact, you probably wind up looking a bit of a nob as you try to take on the whole away end in a solitary battle.

For moaning you are absolutely spoiled for choice. You can go to any part of the ground and be surrounded by people that absolutely detest Brentford, the fans, the players and anything to do with club in any way shape or form. The only time they looked pleased is when we are losing and they can offer us their smug, "told you so" smile or mutter those immortal lines "its bentford innit, we don't wanna go up". These individuals are easy to spot as they are the ones who have special markings on their seats to warn everyone else where they are to help avoid them, these marking are easily identified by the words..."seat reserved for season ticket holder"

I sit in the Bees United stand, in block B. As this proves a good view and you can get up decently high, given it's the biggest stand. There's always room to sit, and it's quite close to the BIAS stand/Ealing Road stand so you can make out the home chants pretty clearly.

It all depends on what you like as a supporter, if you like the terracing and the atmosphere; BIAS stand (formerly Ealing road). If you like to sit and have a good view I'd recommend the Bees United stand.

But welcome to the club taguey, hope you enjoy it!

You do not need to be a member or ST holder to sit in D block, you just ahve to book in advance of the day. B Block as near to C block as possible is avery good view and is available on the day as is E block. In fact if you ahev an E block ticket you can usually get into B block too. Which allows you to see Brentford attacking end in both halves.

But before Tuesday, according to some posters we hadn't had a shot on goal from open play in the last 2.5 seasons so what's so great about seeing us attack?
