Trouble adjusting to the new Rangers
at 13:01 3 Aug 2015

I'm so pleased to see Bobby say that. We're trying to go back to running Rangers the old way and it won't work overnight. But the rewards could be great if we show patience. I've seen three great Rangers teams play - Alec Stock's in the 60s, Gordon Jago's/Dave Sexton's in the 70s and Terry Venables' in the 80s. Every one of those teams was made up of home grown players, cheap buys from lower divisions and the odd smattering of class, a maverick nobody wanted normally.

We're right at the start of a new cycle. It could fail to live up to previous cycles and I doubt it'll match the best of them but it'll give us an honest side that is identifiably QPR, something we haven't had since Ollie's day. Please give them all a chance to get working together and support them in their efforts.

You never know, it might be quite a ride.

Right. That was my first post on any board bar the QPR list for the best part of a decade, so I'll get back in the box now.

Pub Review - The Bush Ranger
at 13:35 1 Nov 2010

Yes I know its got a poncy name now but I can't help harking back to the days when the Stinging Nettle was the Bush Ranger and one of the club's beating hearts on a Saturday.

So. I was on my own on Saturday and I thought I'd give it a try. I only had a pint because I couldn't get a seat but I was very pleasantly surprised. One pint of beautifully kept Youngs Special was all it took to convince me that this might be worth boozing in, especially since I paid just £3.10 for it, against £3.70 for a pint of Adnams up the Goldhawk a little later. For fizzy-pop drinkers there was Peroni and Stella I think.

There still isn't enough room there and the current tenant's decision to put little round tables in a line opposite the bar means there isn't a lot of seating space, but it was relaxed and it was comfortable. There's a telly but it wasn't on, but I'm never that concerned about lunchtime football anyway.

The food looked OK and a lot less pricy than the Goldhawk. Jacket tatties for £4, Bangers and mash and ham, egg and chips for a fiver.

I think you'd have to get there pretty early if you wanted a seat, but it wasn't bad. And there were a few hooped shirts in there as well. I reckon I could have the three pints and possibly a bit of food in there for £15, as opposed to nearly £20 in the Goldhawk, which is important because Will turned 18 a week ago and will be expecting the same three pints plus food.
