Brentford Football Club’s vision is to have a new 20,000-seat Brentford Community Stadium for both professional football and rugby, subject to the relevant planning permissions. Over a number of years, the new stadium project team has held discussions with several rugby clubs, one of which is London Irish.

 
We understand that the club has a long term aspiration to move back nearer to its roots at some stage and to play home games in the west London area again. With that in mind, London Irish started formal discussions with London Borough of Hounslow on 15th August to explore the potential to play rugby at Brentford Community Stadium.

 
Brentford Football Club welcomes these exploratory discussions with the Council.

On Friday 29th July 2016 the London Borough of Hounslow published the Compulsory Purchase Order 2014 – General Vesting Declaration (GVD) for Lionel Road South and issued the relevant notices. This will enable the London Borough of Hounslow to take possession of the land described in the GVD 28 days after the date of receipt of the notices.

A copy of the General Vesting Declaration can be found at: www.hounslow.gov.uk/lionel_road_south_gvd_jul16.pdf
