In April 2008, the Lionel Road Stadium Consultation Group undertook a consultation exercise with Brentford FC supporters with the aim of canvassing opinions about the new stadium, its facilities and features.
The consultation took the form of an online survey, publicised through the club’s official website, www.brentfordfc.co.uk, Bees United’s website, www.beesunited.org.uk and the leading supporter messageboard, the Griffin Park Grapevine, www.griffinpark.org. In addition, paper copies of the survey were made available at the turnstiles at the home game against Bradford City on April 12th and also mailed to Bees United members as part of a more general mailing towards the end of the month.
In total 398 responses were received, the vast majority of them (more than 350) online. The questions were all open‐ended, designed to elicit views from supporters without any prompting. This report summarises the views provided by Brentford supporters and the appendix provides counts of the ideas and opinions in response to each question.
The report has been submitted to the stadium architects, AFL Architects, and we are expecting an initial response from them by 20th June.
The group would like to thank Edmund Paton Walsh for his time and expertise in
helping us to pull this together and all the Brentford supporters who took the time to respond with their ideas and views.
