The Coningham Under New Management from March 26th 10:53 - Mar 7 with 3441 views

After being on the market for several years, the ever-smiling long-suffering Michael and his wee dragon missus Kilkenny Margaret AKA Mrs.Hitler, have finally found buyers and will be taking up long deserved retirement - their health ain't been good and they're in their late 60's - from March 26th.

The very good news is that the pub will not be painted pink and start selling cocktails at a tenner a throw,or become yet another fecking ubiquitous Tescos or be bull-dozed and flats be put up .. but has been sold to John O'Whatshisname,the brother of the sometime barmaid Bridget -the one with the Mallen streak of white in her barnet.

So the pub remains London Irish - hoorah!!! - and you'll still get yer Guinness still served sharpish - no dilatory Aussie carp service - and wonderful 4 foot 10inch Norah will still be working there and the khazis will still be overflowing & disgusting with the all the same friendly flys and I can leave up the Irish Tricolor I got printed for M&M with the QPR 1882 badge behind the bar and the photo of me waving a Hoops flag on my bike at the only QPR Victory Parade I've ever been to in my life (July 2004 was it? Nearly 10 years already? Tempis fugit or what?).

We play Wigan at home on Tuesday March 25th and I recommend local LFW punters should come on down for at least the last one ,wish 'em well and have a final hoolie with the old farts (BTW the fastest declining immigrant population in the UK is the Irish - catch 'em while they're still here.)

Here's a vid I think me surrogate Bush Pub dad Michael would enjoy:

Scroll down through Juzzie's marvellous fantastic photos from that amazing relief and knees-up v Leeds 2011 day

when we got promoted to see the view from The Coningham across to The British Queen and the dust cart getting boarded

BTW if Real_Loftus or any other LFW punters have any photos with or without horse manure -inside or outside The Coningham - stick 'em up here on this thread - I'd love to see 'em ... #HappyDays!

I really enjoyed the Conningham for two or three years, before the masses moved on to the Crown and Sceptre like thirsty, migrating wildebeasts.

I never pay much attention to flags and such - there's loads of that around London and its up to them as far as I'm concerned, within reason.

IRA t-shirts would've been a different matter.

I think that sign she refused to remove also pissed plenty off and started a mass exodus.
I know she's of the old generation,but she's a rabid racist.

I haven't been in there since the day we got promoted to the Prem and madness ensued afterwards outside, maybe that's why we got relegated two seasons later.

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

I will never knock the Conningham or who goes in there.
For those that can remember when it was one long bar v Villa years ago. It kicked off big time. Like a wild west show with glasses, bottles, stools the lot. Villa started it and wished they dint. My son was about 10 at the time and all the rs fans protected him from danger, while the remainder well sorted the villa.
Not advocating violence, but when it starts, sometimes those starting get it back.
Amen for the Conningham and clean bogs in the future!

That witch alienated loads of us about seven years ago, and it has showed on match days as I've never seen it packed since.
