Let’s invite all the protesters to a meeting in a small room thereby making them flout the social distancing rules. Take a photo and send it to the authorities to get them publicly shamed and a big fat fine.
Said it before many times, this is Gilham’s take on 1967 and not the truth of the matter as told by Denis Signy who was chief exec at Brentford at the time. Gilham conveniently misses out that Brentford fans had not come forward previously with a plan to put money into the club or that the Brentford captain and other officials went to Loftus Road on a match night to beg Jim Gregory to buy Griffin Park.
This is simply not true and what has been misrepresented for years.
Rangers didn’t offer to buy Brentford, Brentford came to QPR looking to sell. The two are very different.
If QPR simply said no, there’d be no headline and Brentford would probably have folded. The fact QPR showed an interest gave the papers the headlines they wanted. In an ironic twist, this actually galvanised the Brentford fans into action and the club was ultimately saved.
Most people’s recollection of the events, players included, is simply a regurgitation of what they read in the papers and believed it religiously, such is the power of the press.
That Peter Gilham is one bitter and twisted individual.
A very, very, very sad man.
I never knew the party line trotted out by likkle Bentford was a spun narrative... explians a lot. Also says a lot that we don't know this because, well, they haven't registered on our radar for decades
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

He is the party line, he has made himself their communication officer. As you say a sad and twisted man, with his agenda.
I'm not certain about this but I think they said on the BBC's "Autumnwatch" that at some point this week, they would be talking to the young naturalist Kabir Kaul. I seem to recall that SWF roped him into their campaign at one point.
Fingers crossed that QPR doesn't get painted in a bad light.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

We should thank SWF for enabling us to avoid that complete dump of a place. It is a total sh ithole.
They are currently pleading with Ealing Council to fund management of a wildlife habitat.
Good luck with that
Ealing Council are only intent with spending money blocking up the roads so Councillor Bell End and his cronies can see the odd cyclist pass through. No chance of them spending anything on Warren Farm. I reckon quite soon there will be a traveller incursion there and thousands of pounds of dumped waste will give another headache.
Anyway... onto the Con Club and the future being bright in Heston......

The whole point of letting us develop Warren Farm was to remove the liability from Ealing Council wasn't it? They can't/won't/don't want to spend money on it so give it to QPR, we develop it, then we let the community use the facilities in return. Having gone to extrordinary lengths to scupper that, I can't imagine the council would be overly receptive to their pleas for anything on there.
Makes Linford Christie stadium look like Man City training ground
Broken glass and dog mess all over the pitches when my son played there
Why?
I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool.
I can see why they fought so hard for this pristine environment. Imagine destroying this heritage for beautiful football pitches and modern buildings?
Anyone know of any Irish traveller forums we can get in touch with to alert them to the opportunity? Seems like an ideal spot for a bit of that bare knuckle fighting they love.
