I walked past the pub yesterday and it is currently being repaired after a group, presumably including some of the same idiots I was kettled with courtesy of the Metropolitan Police in September, decided to attack a group of Bristol City fans who were by all accounts quietly minding their own business.
A minibus and other vehicles were also attacked as fans left the stadium across W12 and it seems the Police had a hard time trying to ensure the safety of everyone because the trouble wasn't just confined to the pub.
A pretty humiliating day for the club and it's genuine supporters, on behalf of whom I know I can say sorry to those Bristol fans, including those who had brought children, who had what must have been a horrendous day in Shepherd's Bush.
As much as I abhor yobbery, having been to the British Queen I do have to wonder what difference thrashing it would make to it's normal state.
