The steady growth of this petition shows how deeply A. Cookes is woven into the identity of this community. Reaching the thousand signature mark will provide the necessary weight to request the attention of stadium leadership. Please consider circulating this link further so we can demonstrate the true breadth of local support for this move.

Please keep the shop open. i think it's a great idea but think it would be better for business if it was out side the stadium as families who don't want to go to the football can also go but the football fans can take the food in :)
Qpr fans love this place home games wont be the same without a bit of grub in cookes before the games. These developers no the price of everything and the value of nothing. Just want to line there pockets and sod off and ruin another piece of west london heritage.
My mum made me pie and mash every Saturday lunchtime when Iwas growing up which set me up for my afternoon at Loftus Road. Now she has passed, if Cookes can be relocated pie and mash and QPR can continue to be the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
A Cookes pie & mash is 'my London' every bit as much as my beloved QPR. I'm hoping the owners and directors of my football club can find a way to integrate this into the stadium at Loftus Road and help to keep this tradition alive. #weRtogether
This shop has been a part of my family's history for as long as I can remember. 4 generations have all used cookes before every qpr home game. They deserve to be integrated into the future of qpr as they have been in the past.
new pie and mash shop should be outside QPR premises-should be available to general public not just football supporters
I'm from Minneapolis, MN and would always eat at A. Cooke's when in London for QPR matches. Please enable a shop open near or at Loftus Road. Thank you

What a brilliant idea, the crap that is currently being served up I wouldn't even feed to my dog. QPR stands for tradition so what better than Pie & Mash. More than welcomed and I'm sure it'll be a huge success if installed.
