Griffin Park
City: London
Capacity: 12 300 people
Griffin Park is a football ground, in Brentford, which is situated in the London Borough of Hounslow, west London. It has been the home ground of League One side Brentford since it was built in 1904. It is known for being the only English league football ground to have a pub on each corner, and is situated in a predominantly residential area. The ground gets its name from the griffin, in the logo of Fuller's Brewery, which at one point owned the orchard on which the stadium was built. The highest ever attendance at the ground was 38,678 when Brentford played Leicester City on 26 February 1949. The ground currently has a capacity of 12,219. In the last 5 seasons, the highest attendances have been: 2012/13 Doncaster Rovers 12300 & Chelsea 12146, 2011/12 Charlton Athletic 8095, 2010/11 Everton (football league cup) 8960 & Southampton 7015, 2009/10, Leeds United 9031, 2008/09 Wycombe Wanderers 10642 & Luton Town 10223. Griffin Park is beneath the flightpath of London Heathrow Airport and the roofs of the stadium are used as a large advertising space because of this. The space is currently available for sponsorship and the last company to use the roof for advertising was by Qatar Airways.
