Not been on here for ages, but close to home as in Colindale. Re. boozers. Henneseys in Kingsbury showed all live games on stream when we were in the Premiership, landlord a Rangers fan. A group of us drink in McGowans, Colindale. Be good to see more hoops in the area (and less Polish 3rd division shirts)

Yes,on the hill, next to the Lloyds Bank right. Nice to hear of some QPR gaffes in Kingsbury and Colindale.

Ha. Nice. I wonder if the OOC New Queens Park move happens, whether that NW10 chant will return.

Would be nice to get that NW postcode back. Almost going full circle back to our home and roots. We'd be the only footy team with a North West postcode (bar Hendon FC who play at NW9 now).

started out of the princess vic boozer in uxbridge rd , we were called coach mob because every mob were giving them selves names . usually one or two transits would leave the pub early doors sometimes a coach depending on the numbers , we went everywhere in the early 8o's and i've made some life long friends from back then . we were always out numbered where ever we went but always stood together and looked after eachother . would always stop off on the way home in some little towns and had some right laughs

Thanks for the info.

I do find it interesting learning about the various association of areas and football clubs/fans/mobs.

Nice, you still in the area? I worked on the golf course for a few months between jobs.

I was wondering, where did the name C-Mob come from and did QPR ever really have a firm?

I grew up in South-West London so should probably support Wimbledon, Fulham or Chelsea, in that order. Seeing Rangers fans about my area is a rare sight. Does anyone know of there being many Rangers fans in South-West London?

After leaving the Bush aged 5, went to Harlesden and then onto Stonebridge. Remember the NW10 chants well.

Saw a couple of QPR kits worn passing Colindale today! The North West London representation is growing!

Ladbroke Grove & Notting Hill, Rangers and Chelscum

Yeah, left Brent before you were born, but briefly....there were quite a lot of Rangers within the Borough, but a little spread out, so although there were decent numbers of QPR in some spots. nowhere did we dominate. In the late 70's to late 80's there were a good few home and away regulars in the Norfolk Arms, North Wembley, small groups in the Coach and Horses, Stonebridge Park and along the Harrow Rd from Harlesden to the top of the Grove. Also a decent little following from up around the top of community on the Queensbury / Edgware Rd boundaries. Kenton contained a few and the Windemere beside South Kenton station can still have a handfull on a weekend night.
Problem for us back then was....Chelsea. The boys in blue had three significantly large groups of support at that time, Battersea, Stockwell and the NW lads, basically Kilburn, Willesden, Stonebridge etc which produced a very useful contingent, some of whom are semi legendary figures from the Headhunter days.Neasden, never had any Rangers, f knows why, but they weren't particularly Arsenal either, who didn't start to rack up in numbers until you hit Colindale.
If you're looking for a Rangers supporting pub owner, then the Ship on Kilburn High Rd has an S/T holder at the helm, the others? Well most have been knocked down as the recent arrivals don't drink alcohol.

Norfolk Arms in North Wembley has closed down now :(
Anyone know any other QPR supporting pubs in NW?

[Qprnw10]

I've got a horrible fear/feeling that Spurs or the scum will move into wembley stadium in 3/4 yrs time and that will completely screw our support in north west london.

[Qprnw10]

Growing up around Kensal Green and later Neasden both areas were dominated by scummy gooners.
Ch*lsea have also been pretty well represented in Kilburn though.Funny story, a few weeks ago, I was in the prince of Wales on a Willesden lane, and there was a scum fan mouthing off how he wants to do this and that to a spurs fan.Unfortunately there were no #### in there.

The support base of London teams back then was widespread across the capital. In Wembley the largest following was easily Chelsea, with Rangers, Spurs, West Ham and of course the universal Cockney Reds all having reasonable figures, then there was a small smattering of Fulham and Watford, strangely when you look at how many fans they have now, virtually no Arsenal. I roved all over the borough as I was a bit of a boozer as a youngster and through my football interest became very familiar with who was who around the area. Again, Chelsea had a very strong presence, along with Wembley there were particularly large numbers in Kilburn, Stonebridge and Alperton, though that crowd were in with Wembley or Stonebridge depending on what night of the week it was. Spurs fans were quite well dotted around, but their significance was stronger than the numbers because they were organised and to be truthful, were a well known trouble firm with some extremely active central figures leading them. Did they outnumber Rangers, yeah, in some parts, especially as you went east across the borough, as did Arsenal, who as I mentioned before, seemed to pick up in support tremendously as you started to get closer to the Edgware Rd. Rangers fans had greater influence down the Harrow Rd, but even Westbourne Park had a nasty Chelsea mob (though they occasionally turned up at Loftus Rd in the 70's and joined in with us as they knew so many R's).

The harrow rd end that was chelsea was warwick estate-bang on bluenoses-grew up knowing them!! Edgware rd
-church st. Flats etc all chelsea. Kilburn was chelsea also with a few rangers-had a few pints in robert peel years ago-wall to wall loons.
