as you can see it from the M4 flyover I always take a look on my way to Heathrow. Today I noticed the seats are going in however the colour scheme is burgundy and mustard!!😳 looks more like a Quidditch arena
They have produced a quirky and smart looking stadium within a tight site bounded by railway lines. It had been looking fine until they started putting in the multi-coloured seating. Why not Brentford red with a nice club crest... York City have done the same. A more limited structure but fine until they utilised the rainbow vomit themed seating.

Both clubs are sharing their new stadiums with rugby clubs, Brentford with London Irish. Not sure where the colours come from though
At least it's not the same as those out of town IKEA stadiums. Colchester, Reading, Cov City (former), Bournemouth and Oxford. Nearly forgot stadium MK. What about QPR too, view from the away end is atrocious.
They are overspending laughably and will get in deep shit in the next 5-10 years. The ground doesn’t even look that big - they won’t get the crowds and generate enough revenue to support the fees they pay and the money they pay players and pay for the stadium. They are trying to punch above their natural weight and it will end in tears
I didn't think much of the birds eye view but tbf I think it looks like the architects have worked hard to give as much weather protection to the fans without restricting views of the pitch.
It will be interesting to give there for the first time.

I beg to differ, Brentford seem like a Burnley, well run throughout with the right people running it

A selling club though, they are very good at getting big transfer fees in which pays for their purchases and wages
I'd imagine that by selling Griffin Park and building the new ground, Benham will be quids in.
Not at all. I don't think he makes a penny personally from the club.
The idea for the new development was that the sale of the old ground and the new flats/commercial units would pay for the cost of the new ground and give them some regular income for the future to try to make them more self-sustaining.
I think there was even a trust involved somewhere in the equation, rather than him doing it via his own development company and trousering a nice profit - which was exactly the plan at Millwall, for example.

There isn’t even a pub on each corner of their current stadium anymore.
Even though the away end is shite, Will miss griffin park, sad to see another historical old London ground disappearing
It has some style and character and is 100% better than the majority of new stadia that have popped up over the past 20 years or so.
The stadium will look less empty than it actually is when not sold out ie for rugger.
