Brentford Football Club is pleased to confirm the re-opening of Wheatsheaf Park stadium, which will play host to B team and under-18s fixtures from 31 October 2023.

There is also potential for Brentford’s women’s teams to play at Wheatsheaf Park in the future.

After productive discussions with the owners of the site, the Thames Club, Brentford has the support of all stakeholders to play fixtures at Wheatsheaf Park with immediate effect.

Brentford also holds an agreement with representatives from Staines Town FC to offer support with local community football initiatives with the help of Brentford FC Community Sports Trust.

The club has also engaged with the community around Wheatsheaf Park and offered the opportunity for local residents to visit the stadium and ask questions about our work on site and future fixtures.

We understand the implications of matchdays in and around the local area, particularly around parking, and we will be actively encouraging those attending fixtures to use public car parks nearby rather than park on Wheatsheaf Lane or use public transport to arrive at the stadium.

We are also seeking new opportunities with local organisations to assist with the provision of parking in the future.

The first official match at the venue which will be open to spectators will see Brentford B host RC Strasbourg Under-21s on Tuesday 31 October in a 7pm kick-off. Tickets are now on sale for the fixture as Neil MacFarlane’s side host the French club.

Recent months have seen the site upgraded with a brand-new playing surface, as well as enhancements to the changing and supporter facilities.

There will also be opportunities for supporters to purchase official Brentford merchandise on matchdays in what will now become a regular home for supporters, and the local community, to watch our young players develop.

Brentford chief executive Jon Varney said: “This represents a great opportunity to have a new home and build the fanbase for our younger teams. This will also allow us to further integrate with the local community and bring affordable football to Wheatsheaf Park.

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement with the Thames Club and we thank them, as well as those linked with Staines Town FC, for their support in bringing this project to life.

“We now look forward to watching our young players continue their development on the pitch in what is a brilliant facility embedded within a community which values its football, as we hope to become a real asset to the local area.”
