Not enough interest in special train
Brentford Football Club will not be running a special train to the npower League One match against Crewe Alexandra next month.
The Bees travel to Cheshire to take on Crewe on Wednesday April 10 in a match that will kick off at 7.45pm.
Mark Devlin, Brentford FC Chief Executive, spoke to train companies to try and run a special train to the match and Virgin Trains offered a direct, non-stopping, service from London Euston to Crewe.
This 536 seat train would have would cost the Club £25,000 and in order to make it financially viable, supporters would have needed to fill a minimum of 400 of those seats.
Unfortunately, fewer than 80 fans expressed an interest so the train will not run.
Brentford Supporters’ Association will be running coaches to the match and details will follow shortly.
