Lionel Road shapes up

Jul 8 2008 By Tim Street

Brentford FC's proposed new stadium at Lionel Road is likely to have a distinctive shape and configuration due to the site being triangular.

It is also set to be two-tier, with seats close to the pitch, which should please Bees fans who reckon their close proximity to the pitch at Griffin Park helps create a 'cauldron' atmosphere.

The revelations were made today in the Lionel Road Steering Group's first feedback from the architects, following a consultation survey with supporters.

However, sections of terracing are unlikely grants are only available for all-seater stadiums.
