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 floodlights, 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1030g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 211 x 296 x 26 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781914066139\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Burchill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095296372986,"sku":"9781914066139","price":22.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646355933603_book.jpg?v=1646981424","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-pub-on-each-corner-stats-and-facts-from-griffin-park-the-home-of-brentford-fc-for-116-years-9781914066139","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
