The Magpies head to Gtech Community Stadium, the home of Brentford FC since 2020.
After 106 years at Griffin Park, the Bees relocated to this new 17,250-seater stadium also known as Brentford Community Stadium. In the 2022/23 season, there was an average attendance of 17,067 at this ground.
The Gtech Community Stadium seating plan is of great essence when trying to determine the most ideal seats for Brentford home games.
Brentford vs Newcastle United History
These teams first met during the 1934/35 season, in the second tier of the Football League. Brentford won, home and away, by an aggregate eight goals to two.
Come the end of the 2022/23 season, Brentford had yet to win a first major trophy. Newcastle United won the First Division four times pre-WWII, but have yet to celebrate league success since then.
The Magpies are six-time winners of the FA Cup, though the triumph in 1955 was followed by more than 60 years without a major (first-tier) trophy.
Only a select few players have played for both of these clubs. Most notably, former England striker Les Ferdinand moved to Brentford on loan from Queens Park Rangers. He signed for Newcastle in 1995 before joining Tottenham two years later.
More recently, Ivan Toney joined Newcastle as a teenager but went on to make just four appearances for the Tyneside club. Following a series of loan moves away from St. James’ Park, he agreed to a long-term deal with Brentford. Toney was instrumental in Brentford achieving promotion to the Premier League in 2021, and he earned a maiden England cap in 2023.
Brentford vs Newcastle United Head-to-Head
Meetings between these clubs have been relatively few and far between over the years and this wasn’t helped by Brentford’s 74-year hiatus away from the English top flight.
Until 1992, the Bees and the Magpies had gone the best part of four decades without crossing paths.
In the 2021/22 Premier League season, Brentford and Newcastle met in the top division for the first time. In this fixture, the visitors escaped with a 2-0 win after the teams had played out a 3-3 draw at St. James’ Park.
