The responses from the recent consultation on the Lionel Road stadium have been published and can be downloaded from the link below.
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.
The Lionel Road Supporters Consultation Group is Luke Kirton, Donald Kerr, Mark Chapman, and Phil Marchant (BIAS chair).
