Pubs: Brentford's Griffin Park famously has one pub at each corner of the ground: The Royal Oak, The Griffin, The Princess Royal and The New Inn, the boozer of choice for visiting fans.
There's also the Magpie & Crown on Brentford High Street.
Last league meeting: Brentford 2, Norwich City 1 (18 August, 2009): Incoming Norwich City manager Paul Lambert watched his new team stumble to a disappointing defeat at Griffin Park. Owain Tudur Jones' late free-kick did provide some excitement, but on the whole it was a disappointing night for the 1,800 travelling City supporters.
