SwedishBaggie coming over...

[Acido]

Well, the strong ale anyway…

You can knock and/or take the mick out of my team (Barnsley) and my county (Yorkshire) if you want to Swedie lad!.
But dont you ever try to nick my beer/ale/lager matey, then we really would have to have some strong alcohol fuelled words together.

Hi Swede, depending on what Albionic has lined up for you (?!) and where you come from there are a number of options. On match days at Brentford I've always drunk in my local, The Griffin, which is the home fans base for most games, but they do let in certain opposition supporters (Millwall, Cardiff and various other undesirables are not welcome). That said it's packed and spills out onto the pavement and it can take an age to get served. As a consequence I can't be certain which of the following pubs will let in (obvious) football fans. If you come by train from town the station before Brentford is Kew Bridge (hard by where the new Brentford FC stadium is being built) and there's a lovely pub called the Express Tavern. Along the north bank of the river just beyond the bridge are three pubs in a row, all with different breweries and all worth a sample. They are (furthest away) the Bull's Head, the City Barge, and The Bell & Crown. Kew Bridge is almost exactly a mile from the ground which claim to fame, as you probably know, is that it has a pub on every corner. The New Inn on the North East Side is a nice little pub but the wrong end for Baggies Fans, while The Griffin is on the South West side and only yards from the away end. If you arrive at Brentford station the Kings Arms is gift yards up the drive but again, not sure if they let fans in on match day. Hope this helps and let me know what you (or Albionic) decide.

Cheers again Roy, and thanks for the extensive input. As Albionic says, some really interesting choices out there. I’ve actually been in the ones furthest away, the Bull’s Head/the City Barge/the Bell & Crown.

Where are you planning to be, the Griffin?

If you want to, we can exchange mobile numbers via ”Private Messages”, to make contact and recognise one another. But, as Albionic points out, no guarantees, esp away days... 😎

Ta Swede. Happy to join you and Albionic at some point and yes will exchange numbers. Probably the Griffin if I wasn't in my house!

Have a great trip SB and I hope we get some wins for you this visit and that you guys enjoy your get together at the Brentford game next Saturday.

Hi Thomas, are you going to the Soho before the Swansea game? At the moment I’m not sure if I’ll be going to the game as I’m outraged at the treatment of Darren Moore. The horrible owner of the club disgusts me and the board are pathetic. Anyway, have a good trip. By the way, I will be going to Sweden and Norway on holiday in July, really looking forward to that.

Hi Mike, yes I probably will. I have been in contact with Geoff and Danny, and we will meet before the game. I agree with you about the treatment of BD - nothing to be proud of as a club. Hope to see you on Wednesday, otherwise, enjoy Sweden in the summer (I'm in Cornwall then).
