Attendance: 15,325 (including 2,490 visitors).

The following letter was written by Philippa Cohen (Miss) of Cricklewood and appeared in the Willesden Chronicle on 4th November, 1949…. Dear Sir, Oh dear ! What can the matter be ? Every time QPR strike a bad patch the management turn on the supporters. We can’t shout anything right. After a number of missed penalties, we yell who we think should take the spot kick. The following week a reprimand appears in the programmes – it’s all our fault … Continue reading →

A pulsating game of two halves saw QPR thump Middlesbrough 3-0 to go some way to paying them back for the humiliating 1-5 reverse in the corresponding fixture last season.

Boro’ welcomed back their captain, Gary O’Neill, following injury and Gordon Strachan handed a debut to midfielder, Mickael Tavares, on loan from Hamburg. NPower Player … Continue reading →

Next up was ‘Charlie Champs War’, the sports crazy soldier who somehow fought his battles with sports equipment ! … Continue reading →

It’s well documented that Pride Park and Derby away in particular, is our ‘lucky’ ground, having not lost in the City since 10th February, 1990, when we lost 0-2 in the top tier of English football. But believe me, on Saturday, Pride Park became our ‘luckiest’ ground we’ll ever play at this season having snatched a point from what seemed an unassailable lead. This was our sixth visit to Derby’s ‘new ground’ and having won 3 and drawn 2 previously. … Continue reading →
