News that the club has taken a concrete step in its aspirations of building a new stadium at Lionel Road is welcomed by Bees United, who view this as a key to ensuring the club can sustain itself in the long term.
Trust Chairman David Merritt said: “On behalf of the Trust, I wish to thank the efforts of Bees United board members Brian Burgess and Chris Gammon for their tremendous hard work in ensuring the project is closer than ever to being delivered.”
The vision of Brentford Football Club playing in a new stadium in Lionel Road was conceived by the Trust and publicly launched in November 2002.
The next year will see intense negotiations between the club and stakeholders of the development to ensure that the Lionel Road stadium project is a vision that can become reality.
