CULTURE


Shepherd's Bush Empire (currently known as O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire for sponsorship reasons, and formerly known as the BBC Television Theatre) is a music venue in Shepherd's Bush, West London, run by the Academy Music Group. It was originally built in 1903 as a music hall for impresario Oswald Stoll, designed by theatre architect Frank Matcham; among its early performers was Charlie Chaplin. In 1953 it became the BBC Television Theatre.[1] Since 1994, it has operated as a music venue. It is a Grade II listed building.[2]

Doesn't look as this lot played at the Empire but they did write a song about the kick off time



Why should we care?

Who’s Available?

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Ryan Lowe confirmed Ali McCann, Ben Whiteman and Brad Potts are all unlikely to feature before the end of the campaign.

There is more positive news as far as Liam Millar is concerned, though, with the Canadian back in training and expected to be in contention on Saturday.

Alan Browne and Ryan Ledson, who weren't quite ready to start during the week against Southampton, are in better shape ahead of the trip to Loftus Road and could come in to the side.

Opposition Focus


With three games remaining of the campaign, Queens Park Rangers still have work to do to retain their Sky Bet Championship status.

They sit three points above Huddersfield Town, who currently occupy 22nd, but the R’s head into the weekend winless in three matches, having been beaten by fellow relegation rivals Sheffield Wednesday within that run.

If the Hoops can stay up, it’ll be considered a job well done by Spanish head coach Martí Cifuentes who took over in October with the side sat 23rd.

Match Officials

Referee: Gavin Ward
Assistant Referees: Lee Venamore and Adam Crysell
Fourth Official: Lee Swabey

Gavin Ward, who has shown 100 yellow cards and two reds in 26 matches this season, will referee this fixture.

Ward has taken charge of just one PNE match this campaign – the home victory over Plymouth Argyle – and North End’s last win on the road with him as the main official was the 3-2 win against AFC Bournemouth in December 2020.


MACS View

Looks like we may have a semblence of a midfield against the Hoops which may provide our forwards with service they can work with.
Rangers need the points we don't in the return game at Deepdale also on the box we performed woefully Rangers duly abd deservedly won, will Fantastic have them fired up for this one, luckily it's a 10 am coach just 78 hours after getting off the one from Southampton, can my arse get any larger well let's see.
In the aforementioned Who song, lyric was the seats are seductive, don't think Townsend wrote it about the away end seats at Loftus Road, those who have been will know.
