From 1904 to 2020, Griffin Park was the iconic, idiosyncratic, and
much-loved home of Brentford FC. For 116 years, and deriving its
name from the symbol of a brewery that owned the orchard before the
stadium, Griffin Park witnessed highs and lows and much in-between,
hosting over 2,800 football matches and numerous other occasions.
One of a kind, it was the only English football stadium that had a
pub on each corner. In this fascinating book, lifelong Bees fan
Jonathan Burchill draws from contemporaneous resources to present a
unique history of Brentford through season-by-season reviews of the
events at Griffin Park. Recounting stories and statistics from both
on and off the pitch - from fires to fax machines, from abandoned
redevelopment plans to multiple missed penalties - Jonathan weaves
an extended, fascinating insight not just into this remarkable West
London football club but into the social history affecting those
connected with it for over a century. As the Bees settle into their
new home at Brentford Community Stadium in the Premier League, A
Pub On Each Corner provides a comprehensive and insightful account
into their time at Griffin Park, and is a must-read for any
Brentford fan, old or new!
