Brentford Community Stadium

Brentford Community Stadium

Brentford Community Stadium is a proposed stadium in Kew Bridge, west London with a projected capacity of 20,000. It is planned to be the home of Brentford F.C..BackgroundIn October 2002, following several years of speculation about a possible relocation, the club announced plans to move to a 20,000 capacity stadium near Kew Bridge. This included an ambitious monorail proposal, which was later dropped from the scheme. After several years of uncertainty the project was suddenly brought back to public attention in late 2007 when the club announced they had secured an option on the site.This was followed up in February 2008 when a partnership deal with Barratt Homes to develop the site was announced.London Welsh have suggested they might move in to ground-share the stadium with Brentford.The club's plan to move to a new community stadium took a massive step forward when, on 28 June 2012, the Club bought the 7.6 acre site in Lionel Road, Brentford, from Barratt Homes who had originally acquired the site in January 2008. The Club is planning to build a 20,000 capacity stadium on the land with the option of extending to 20,000 seats in time for the 2016/17 seasonLocationIt is planned to be located on a 7.6 acres (31,000 m2) site off Lionel Road, and adjacent to Kew Bridge railway station. It stands in the middle of a triangle of railway lines, predominantly used for freight. Hounslow Council have been pushing a proposal for an extension of Crossrail to Hounslow via Kew Bridge, using one of these freight lines. The outline document suggested a station could be built to serve the Lionel Road site. The proposal is unlikely to make it into the first phase of the Crossrail project, but might be a later addition to the route.
