Team: Bulmer, Cox, Ilesanmi, Smith, Harris, Olley, Perring, Davenport, Parker, German, Nanetti Subs: Wright, Bailey, Brittain, Ehmer, Fernandez. We eventually found the entrance to the May and Baker Sports ground and as Alan Barnes, Rob Bennett, Roger Stokes and myself shuffled into position, Clive Kingham walked over and joined us. Part of the pitch perimeter was inaccessible so we stayed in the same spot for the duration of the game. The Daggers had lost 2-5 to Peterborough on Thursday despite … Continue reading →

As you can see, the indoctrination has already started with Charlie, resplendent in his Gap Hoops babygrow ! Charlie Connor Woodley was born just after 7am on Friday 6th February and hopefully this will keep the long line of R’s supporting sons in the Woodley family. This began with my father who probably started following the R’s in the 1930’s and was an ever present home supporter until his sad passing away in 1986. I started attending the R’s in … Continue reading →

In their second match of the Tournament, Rangers easily defeated A.P.I.A. Leichhardt Tigers by three goals to nil. Watching the highlights on-line, they created a number of scoring opportunities. Playing on an artificial surface, the R’s took the lead when Alberti laid off a wonderful pass out to Rose wide right, who then cut in and slotted the ball away with a low drive. QPR went further ahead when as a result of a long ball, Josh Parker raced into … Continue reading →

The U20 ‘s had their hardest possible start on Monday in the Coppa Carnevale Tournament, when they played against the holders, Inter Primavera, who are Inter Milan’s Youth team.

Thanks to Julia for passing on Alex Wade’s excellent article that appeared in ‘The Times’ on 9th February – Steve Russell “For the past five or six years, England has been the centre for football.

Charles Dickens probably said it all when in the opening lines of his book, ‘Tale of Two Cities’ he wrote: “It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.” At the start of the 1968-69 campaign, QPR FC were in the First Division (the top level of English football) for the first time in their history. This was a dream come true for all supporters. We would be watching the R’s compete against the elite teams of … Continue reading →
