    Question from an American supporter

    I'm an R's supporter who recently moved to London from the States to work on a graduate degree. I will be in the away end at the match on Friday and was wondering if there was a pub where other R's supporters were planning to meet beforehand. I don't have any academic obligations that day and would love to meet some other R's supporters and take in the full derby experience.

    Many thanks.

        You may have gathered that a first post on here is often treated with suspicion and rarely taken at face value.

        If you are really an R's fan you will enjoy reading through some of the recent threads on this site and you may well be rewarded with an answer to your question.

        However, I will warn you that Carl (Gator) and I found the posters on here to be quite ethereal in real life and we were not able to connect with anybody when we came over for the Wembley play-off final. We had a fantastic time chatting with the Norwegian R's though, who were a wonderfully friendly bunch.

        You could do worse than starting off at the Crown and Sceptre in Shepherd's Bush well before the match. It is an R's pub and it is possible that some may gather there as a starting point, or somebody may be able to give you an idea of where to go next. It will be a bit of a hike from there to the Cottage on the tube so just be sure you allow enough time.

                      I cant understand what the purpose of this is though? to find out where rangers fans are and make sure the pub doesnt have any caviar sandwiches out for us?

                          I was talking to two Canadians in the The Crown & Sceptre that night, you'd remember me if it was you, I was the drunk bloke in the red & black QPR shirt.

                              There isn't much that escapes Stan, he has a talent for spotting wronguns
