Baker Street is what I'm hearing. Direct tube to the ground. Easy to get to from Euston.

Off at Marylebone, quick pint in The Allsop Arms, Baker street tube to Paddington...meet lads in the Pride of Paddington pub.

Back on tube to Shepherds Bush. Used to be some good pubs for away fans in SB but they all seem yo have gone so probably just stay drinking in the Paddington area until the last minute

Posted this in the QPR tickets thread

Got our tickets sorted - can't wait. Anyone know of any pubs by the ground/in the Shepherd's Bush area that welcome away fans? (Going by coach). Doesn't seem to be any apart from one place called Belushi's but doesn't look like the sort of place to head to pre game.

Spoke to a good few groups now who are heading to The Globe opposite Baker Street station. So I'm planning to do the same, then it's a direct train to near the ground. Sounds like anywhere near the ground will be shite

You might need photo ID to get in some pubs in Baker Street, last Saturday door men where asking for ID but a big group of Nottingham County fans came with there own Bobby in toe and they just let them in because the copper said they’re known to us we’ve detailed them a number of times. So we tagged on the back of them.

You okay? It's a Greene King, I can tell you now it wouldn't even be the most expensive pub in Coventry.

There's a offy on the corner and a river bank down the road if that's more economically viable for you?

Last time I was in there think I got a round of 5 pints and it came to like £37
That was after we won at Wycombe 4_1 a couple of years ago, just an expensive pub.

£6.80 for a pint of Guinness and a pint of Strongbow in The White Horse Shepherd’s Bush 7 days ago. Home fans only so after the game if you see a discarded home end ticket pick up, or mingle in with QPR fans, a nice big on show home team pin badge for £3 normally does the trick 9 times out of 10 too.

Went to the Community Shield 3 weeks ago and had a couple of pints in a bar on Empire Way and maybe 100 yards maximum from the stadium. £5.55 a pint for Amstel which was a lot less than I expected to pay in London and so close to the stadium.
Doesn't help in finding cheaper beer in Shepherds Bush of course ⚽️ PUSB !
