Brentford capacity

[Eric the Half a Bee]

All this talk of being able to visit a new stadium next season, I looked at the construction details. It only has a capacity of 17,250, with "room to expand in future"!

I realise that Brentford aren't a big club and have plenty of competition for fans in London, and as a result don't want to overstretch their finances, but surely 17,250 is too small for a club that has been challenging for promotion over recent years and almost achieved it this time around?

QPR's capacity is just over 1,000 more while Fulham's is another 1,500 more. Seems that Brentford are being realistic

Fulham's capacity id going to be 27,500 "increasing to" 30,000 when their new stand is finished.

And about a mile to Stamford Bridge isn’t it? Brentford could easily fall back down the leagues where 17k is plenty.

Ambitious. Relying on being a top half Premier League club.
