FA Cup: Brentford v Chelsea - in pictures

Brentford v Chelsea: Brentford v Chelsea
Brentford's home, Griffin Park, is famous for having pub at each corner of the ground – a feature which stems from the days when the land used to be an orchard for the local Fullers brewery. The ground's name is derived from the brewer's griffin emblem, making it probably the first example of a branded football ground in the country Photograph: Tom Jenkins
