A sold-out allocation of 1,665 supporters will be heading to Brentford for Saturday’s 3pm Premier League kick-off, in what is a first top-flight clash against the Bees in the capital in more than 75 years.
For supporters who are heading to the match, here’s everything to know before making the trip.
Covid safety information
If you are feeling unwell with Covid-19 symptoms or any cold or flu-type symptoms, please do not attend the game.
It is now a legal requirement for supporters who attend Premier League matches to show an NHS Covid Pass or recent negative lateral flow test result before entering the stadium, otherwise they will be denied entry. All fans aged 18 or over will also be required to pre-register their Covid status ahead of arriving at the stadium.
Supporters who have previously completed the declaration are not required to complete it again. But if you have not already done so, click HERE to pre-register your Covid status ahead of arriving at the match.
It is now a mandatory and legal requirement for all adult supporters to declare they are symptom free and have certification that demonstrates they are any one of the following:
- Fully vaccinated (at least TWO doses of Covid vaccine demonstrated in a Covid pass)
- Able to provide evidence of a negative lateral flow test in the 48 hours preceding the match, either in an NHS Covid pass or other acceptable methods
- Able to provide valid evidence of a medical exemption
Wolves’ visiting fans are asked to cooperate with the Brentford staff who will spot check supporters in order to present evidence of vaccination status, evidence of a negative Covid-19 test or exemption and produce photo ID before entering the stadium.
Supporters are encouraged to wear face coverings at all times and will be denied entry if unable to show their NHS Covid pass or proof of a negative lateral flow test within the previous 48 hours, ideally on matchday. It is advised that supporters arrive early to allow time for these checks to take place prior to kick-off.

Brentford station is the nearest step-free station, while Chiswick station is also less than a 30-minute walk from the stadium on the same line.
Gunnersbury station is the nearest station offering both the District line underground and London Overground connections, however the station is not currently opening until one hour after the final whistle.
However, The Gunnersbury and The Pilot pubs nearby would be happy to accommodate fans while they wait. There are also no home or away pubs, and both sets of supporters are welcomed everywhere.
Visiting supporters arriving by car are urged to pre-book parking as most of the roads around the stadium have Controlled Parking Zones.
The Ultra Low Emission Zone also impacts on parking at Chiswick Park, so supporters need to check if their car meets the emission standards or will be subject to an additional £12.50 charge.
There are also a small number of disabled spaces available on-site at the stadium which can be booked through Brentford’s ticket office on a match-by-match basis. In addition, Brentford hold back some spaces for Blue Badge Holders at the old Citroen site on Capital Interchange Way which is a short walk from the stadium.
