BEFORE THE GAME:

- Unfortunately, due to the forecast of inclement weather, the 301 Bar will no longer be attending the match.
- We’re pleased to be joined at the game by the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) who will be carrying out a collection to raise money to give people living with MND a better quality of life or research so that we can get closer to an effective treatment and hopefully, one day, a cure. Many London Irish supporters will remember Jarrod Cunningham who sadly died from MND in 2007, and with recent news about Gloucester Rugby player Ed Slater’s diagnosis, it’s a topic that is close to the hearts of many in the rugby community. Every donation will make a difference. The collectors will be positioned at several locations around the ground before and after the match, or you can donate online by clicking here.
- The London Irish Fan Store will be open from 9.30am until 45 minutes following the final whistle, selling a wide range of clothing and merchandise.

Simply order on the app and collect your meal from the Dugout or the North Stand food kiosks after Full Time.
WHAT’S NEW
- Brentford Football Club have installed barriers in the corners of each stand which separate the stands. This means that it is no longer possible to walk between stands inside the bowl.
- You may notice that the cost of food and drink in the stadium has increased slightly. Unfortunately, these are unavoidable price rises implemented by the stadium’s catering company in line with inflation and is out of the Club’s control.
- Please be aware that safe standing barriers have been installed in all West Stand blocks as well as N120, and several blocks in the East Stand towards the North end. If you book tickets in these areas, be aware that some supporters around you may be standing during the game.
