Today, I'll fulfill a long-standing goal to visit the only football ground in England with pubs on all four corners. Brentford's Griffin Park is in a farewell year.

First, a pint of Fuller's London Pride at the Griffin, corner of Brook Road South and Braemar St.

Now up Brook Rd S... Next up the Brook

The Brook at the corner of New Road and Brook Rd S

Sussex Best at the Brook

They've a proper garden.

Turn right.

The New Road entrance

The corner of New Road and Ealing Road...the New Inn.

The New Inn has an Irish theme... And Doom Bar

Closer to Earling St , we get rules...

Perfect timing, first half of Arsenal and it's on the telly on my crawl...

Now down Ealing Road to Braemar Rd, the fourth corner, the Princess Royal at the corner of Braemar Rd and Ealing.

Begins and ends, appropriately, with London Pride, next right turn is the Braemar Rd entrance... Two hours to kickoff

@Aubameyang7 scores a peach.

And to a seat ..

Pitch side...

Brentford fans chant, you're just a shit Andy Carroll... True Eaves?

0-0 at the half

1-1. What fun.

Now to the Tubes in a massive queue

Finishes 1-1. That was sooo fun.

Now the mass of humanity heads to the Underground.

Had to have the pub minders memorialize it. Shame you're moving @BrentfordFC. It was quite memorable.
