Qpr in brent???

[Hubble]

Yep, our very own John McCooke runs the Good Ship on Kilburn High Road. You do see a fair few Rangers shirts on kids around the QP area these days, but only since our last promotion really. Kensal Town/Maida Hill/The Avenues - basically the original home of Rangers always had a fair Rangers support base, but most of the old families moved out now. You get a reasonable number of Rangers for live games at the Corrib Rest in Queens Park.

What were the 'qpr pubs' in brent back in the 80's??...I was born in 85!

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.

Lol, everyone knows the rule of the 'full kit wnker'....1 piece of QPR garment is suffice. Any more and you fall into the #full kit wnker bracket#. Unless you're under 10, then rrepresent all the way Squire!

you better tell loany then...he's off getting pads the mad sod.

[hipsterhoop]

should pie and mash wear the full kit or is that too much?

Lol, blimey that is taking the Michael.

Wear your QPR garms on non-match days more often to show up these glory hunters even more I say ;)

I do get the odd glance when I wear my QPR club shop garb on non-match days and at Powerleague, I must say People seem to love the hoops and name! #SleepingGiant

We should try and entice the sh*tload of Poles in East Acton to come to games

Not a bad idea. Maybe adverts for QPR games in Polish. No harm in trying.

[Pie & mash]

Not wrong

I'd sooner them than the Somalians.

Meh. My poor Nan.

Nottinghill really was most ardent QPR area you could find but now you find more and more scum since the Tristan and Octavious and Tobious have made it fashionable to live there
