i think a ground that i always loved was griffin park,the first game i watched was the destruction of qpr we got done 6-0 or 6-1
that wasnt much of a game
the next time i visited there ground was for the tommy higginson testimonial, and that game has been very well documented as the worst riot in our history,so i suppose that game could be described as a shame
but then there came a massive gap when we didnt play them for so many seasons
untill ofcourse that period of time that we dropped to the third division,but as soon as i went to griffin park all those memories came back,of when qpr had a terrible ground,its roof was legendary because it had all this corrugated iron on the roofs of the ellerslie and the loft,and when the ball was punted up in the air which was usually when tony hazell played, the ball would crash down onto the top of the stands and everybody would get all these rust particles going down your kneck ,when you got home you needed a hot bath to get the rust out of your skin,but i dont know if anybody went to the stan bowles testimonial,and rodney played what a match that was,but generally i think its fair to say that qpr fans always seem to turn up in big numbers at griffin park,i think its a massive plus that the brentford fans dont seem to be out to create a big fight,they may say they hate rangers but its only a bit of banter
