Behind the scenes at the Gtech: Daily Mail Sport gets unprecedented access for what dealing with a Premier League matchday is REALLY like - from 2,300 venison pies to a private sommelier for Thomas Fr
It's a little past 7pm, New Year’s Day, and kick-off is an hour away at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium. Out of sight is Bob Oteng, the kitman who goes back to the Griffin Park days of League One. Under Frank, they went from mid-table of the Championship in 2018 to the Premier League, where they have stayed. While he is talking, 2,300 venison pies and 870 sausage rolls are being baked inside and distributed to 23 satellite kitchens. For this match, he has cut the grass to 21mm (27mm is the Premier League maximum) and the ground set firm.
