Brentford was founded in 1889. The club returned to the top flight via the play-offs in the 2020-21 season, 75 years after its relegation in the 1946-47 season.
Brentford is a Premier League club based in West London. Their home ground is the Gtech Community Stadium, with a capacity of around 17,250.
Seating Guide
The Gtech Community Stadium is made up of North Stand (family section), East Stand (away fans), South Stand, and West Stand, with the “Ealing Road” end especially known for its atmosphere.
Tickets
The safest way to buy tickets is directly through the club’s official website. Popular matches are often prioritized for season-ticket holders before general sale, so check availability as soon as your travel dates are set.
Back at Griffin Park in the 1970s, stadium announcer Peter Gilham started playing the Beatles’ ‘Hey Jude’ for a fan named Judy ‘Jude’ Kaufman — and it became uniquely Brentford’s own tradition. Fans still swap ‘Jude’ for ‘Brentford,’ swaying arm-in-arm, a ritual that carried straight over to the new Gtech Community Stadium.
