Most of the national newspapers covered the news last week of the biggest sponsorship deal outside the Premier League but the most positive and re-assuring article for me was written by Yann Tear. It appeared in the local Gazette on Friday and follows in its entirety. What do you think ? You can leave a comment below. For me, apart from addressing many of the concerns we have been voicing, what also excites me is the possibility of having the … Continue reading →

The following article appeared in ‘The Times’ and was written by Kaveh Solhekol – Steve Russell Flavio Briatore did not become a billionaire by throwing his money away and the co-owner of Queen’s Park Rangers has warned agents that he will not be taken for a ride as he tries to transform the fortunes of the Coca-Cola Championship club.

Puma Youth Alliance Cup Semi Final Team: Crowther, Coyne, Brown, O’Brien, Ford, Lawrence, Morgan-Cummings, Smith, German, Rose, Arthur. Although the R’s were drawn away, it was agreed that this game would be played at Harlington as Layer Road wasn’t available and the pitches their Youth sides usually use weren’t playable. Good to see that Romone Rose was available again even though AFC Wimbledon were set to play East Thurrock. There was a good turnout as the game kicked off seven … Continue reading →

The second and final part of Adrian Deevoy’s interesting insight is shown below. Originally, it featured in ‘The Observer’ Sport Monthly supplement on 2nd March – Steve Russell In the lift afterwards, Briatore exhales mightily, his face folding with emotion. ‘Gigi is a good man’, he says of his bereaved manager, ‘A very good man.’ Then, as Italians often do in times of heightened emotion, he eats. Joining friends and business associates – a communications billionaire here, a fat cat … Continue reading →

The last game of the Season, and as an 11 year old, it all seemed so simple to me. All we had to do was play Aston Villa away, beat them, and we would be in the ‘Promised Land’ (the old First Division) for the first time in our history. I was lucky enough to be taken to the game by a family friend. We set off early in the morning in his old Zephyr 4, with our blue and … Continue reading →

Team: Crowther, Coyne, Ford, Harris, Brown, Davenport, O’Brien, Smith, Morgan-Cummings, German, Arthur Subs Used: Vanterpool for Davenport and Wright replaced Vanterpool, Fernandez for Morgan-Cummings Some shaky defending cost the U18 team a victory. At 1-0 down, Terry Smith equalised with a right foot belter into the top corner from outside the area. Then Aaron Morgan-Cummings took an excellent first touch and finished neatly when he found himself through on goal after a misplaced defensive header. Wycombe made it 2-2 before … Continue reading →

This very interesting feature covered six pages of the magazine so Part One follows and the rest will go up in the very near future – Steve Russell It’s not all beer and skittles being a famous international playboy.

We received the very sad news in December that Jim Langley had died. I remember him as a great character, a gentleman and a QPR legend. The sliding tackles, those almighty throws and the spectacular bicycle kicks. The overlapping full back who always seemed to have a smile on his face. I couldn’t attend the funeral at Breakspear Crematorium in Ruislip on 21st December but JohnQPRHayes did and represented the Independent R’s. I would like to thank him once again … Continue reading →
