  • There are several bicycle racks available for use at the stadium. You can find space for 88 bicycles in the racks in the North West corner of the ground next to the stairs, and 98 by the bridge linking Capital Interchange Way to the back of the East Stand.

BEFORE THE GAME:

  • Gates open at 6.15pm.
  • Have a photo taken with the Gallagher Premiership trophy! The trophy will be situated in the Family Area in the concourse in the North West corner of the stadium before the game. You can see the trophy in all its glory and have a photo taken and printed to keep!
  • 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.

TOO GOOD TO GO

The Too Good To Go app has over 10 million downloads, and lets you buy and collect this food - at a great price - so it gets eaten instead of wasted. You won’t know exactly what’s in your order until you pick it up - it’s all part of the surprise. Download the app from the Google Play Store or the App Store to get started. 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.
