    I've only been to four and rank them as follows......

    #1. Crown & Sceptre
    #2. Queen Adelaide
    #72. White Horse
    #943. Conyngham Arms

    Now, I know that the WH and CA are probably the pubs with greatest links to the Rs, and I'm probably offending the Rs Faithful who were born, raised and brought to these establishments by their fathers and grandfathers, but God, are they awful pubs!

    OK, I've opened the can of worms......

    We used to use the Pavilion until they started insisting on plastic glasses and turned the TVs off. Our meet now is the Bull in Westfield - better than you might imagine.

    the whole match day experience has never been the same since the demise of the bush ranger on goldhawk road. from great pub to **** wine bar to a costa coffee. f*cking criminal.

    crown and sceptre the best now.

    Crown & Sceptre is defo the best now.

    Philip Beard and Tony Fernandez made an appearance in there today and had a pint with the fans.

    I see TF's car is called after one of our own, yes the one and only Roller. You'd need a mortgage just to fill it with petrol.

    I was in 'The Green' after the game, ( Corner of Uxbridge Rd and Wood Lane ) but it sadly fell into administration at 7 o'clock this evening.

    My favourite pub is this one .... http://www.oneills.co.uk/shepherds-bush/

    I was a regular in the Green for about 3 years for pre-match pints 999's.

    Out of the blue one day, they decided to double their food prices and got rid of sky.

    Our group told them out straight that we were going elsewhere so I am not surprised that their attempt to yuppify the pub overnight has backfired.

    I liked it there. The landlady was a Polish girl.

    I personally don't like the place in truth Fin. Although I'm sad to see the pub fold, I like a pub with telly's and a bit of atmosphere. Especially after a win. My favourite pubs are O'Neils, The C&S, The White Horse and The Connigham.

    For me the C & S pre match drink makes the day. Best pub by far

    Crown and Sceptre used to be better with the old landlord...At xmas they had all blue & white decorations and even a blue & white Xmas tree. not bad last time i went though.

    Stopped using the Conningham after they tarted "passing the plate around"...Pm if you want any more details!! Was better before it became the goldfish bowl it is now.

    Adelaide became a bit pretentious & British Queen was always a bit of a dump.

    I used to go in the Goldsmiths Arms quite a bit & that was a nice pub but bit of a hike.

    Sad to hear about Green but hope they find a new owners soon. I use to drink my pre match beers there during my last three visits at LR. I liked the place and atmosphere. I like also O'neills and maybe im going to take my pre match beers there next time i visit LR.

    It has been almost thirty-years since i last visited Crown and Sceptre and i didnt like the place then because it was a bit rugged those days in my opinion. Have to pay a new visit there to change my mind. Use to pop in Springbok few times in late eighties and until 2007-2008 but i believe it is now just for some members before the match?
