your 'best and 'worst' ever moments as a qpr fan..................discuss!!!
winning 4-1 at Old Trafford, I woz there, also rumping a bird at half time at Wolves
losing to Vauxhall, don't get worse than that and having a puncture on the M1 in Yorkshire having just lost to Huddersfield
Not an obvious one but on my birthday 20 years ago after a very enjoyable session watching the most complete away rangers performance beating everton 3-0 with young bradley scoring a hatrick!! On the minus in 87 being given a lovely welcome of pool balls in a sock in an underpass outside Luton station and nearly doing a matty!
All the usual bad wise-play off final and 86 and 82 finals but was also so gutted to get beat 4.1 I think at anfield when we were top of the league. Good wise-beating spurs 4-1 was blinding after being 1 nil down.orf the pitch giving it to Cardiff when they bounced up the bq few years back and leaving them laid out and when Chelsea called it on seeing them melt and turn on inanimate objects,scarey.bad-Norwich away and getting toed-awful.

Best: The "no points deducted" day. The whole day was like a dream.
Worst: The entire Ray Harford/Vinnie Jones era. And, from childhood...
Hearing Wolves had lost to Liverpool. Crying when I heard we sold Phil Parkes to West Ham cos I knew we'd be relegated. And hating it when Clive Allen trolled up in a tv studio to say he'd been sold to Arsenal.
Anfield milk cup semi final
Beating Chelscum 6-0
Micky Robinson scoring from the half way line at the bridge
Cisse scoring against Sjoke
Being lucky enough to be in The Etihad last year .
European games at Highbury ........ Can't remember exactly what game it was but had a s-h-a-g in the toilets, I must have been a looker in them days cause those toilets were hanging
And all the other usual suspects !
WORST ..........
Play off final V Cardiff the boy was in a wheel chair so we got a disabled parking space under the Stadium, when we tried to leave everyone was locked in till the crowds had gone and the noise of all the Boyos sing 'Men of Harlech' it was deafening :music:
Leeds away in the FA Cup 1987. After losing 2-1 the Leeds fans stormed the pitch then turned on us, I was about 4 rows from the front and froze while they were shaking the fences chanting LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS after a copper on a horse shouted through a mega phone that they were trying to negotiate our safe release from Elland Rd we finally got back to the car to hear Mad Dog being interviewed on the radio saying they were only playing for a draw as he was certain we would beat them at home. We risked life and limb and you lot weren't even trying to win CHEERS MARTIN !
AND of course many many other terrible days out :rage:
"Steve, do you think 25k is a good option when there are indications that within four years, new stadiums on average have increased attendances of 60%? For us that would mean around 29k."
Best laugh , my old mate Andy going in the West Stand at Chelsea wearing a Blue and White Hooped QPR balaclarva with a bobble the size of a football in 88. (for a bet ) the only reason he didnt get killed was because the Chelsea boys thought he must of been a " special needs " young man !
(Andy , if you see this from Ireland , if thats where you are now ,get in touch )
Best FA CUP Semi at Highbury in 1982 along with Leeds at home in 76, Champions for 10 days ! Atmosphere both those days was unbelievable...........worst Vauxhall Motors in FA Cup and the day Parksy signed for West Ham, gutted.
highbury 82 , hillsboro and the walk to wembley knackered after staying up all nite at roys but what a day... the walk back to the bush after playing spurs off the pitch in the replay no one said much as we wre all so gutted
Best,oldam play off,dirty Leeds,anfield 86 stuck a hot dog up a horses bottom,beating cfc 1-0,my first game against palace around 78 ,drive back from hillsboro,city away at Maine rd circa 84 the bus stop mellay.
Ah, the memories are flooding back now! Some of my choices may seem strange, but I only get to see 2-3 matches per year now (if I'm lucky).
Best (not really in any order - that would take more thought!):
- Leeds at home in '76.
- THAT goal on opening day against Liverpool. Frantastic!
- Scum away, 3-0 win. ('74?)
- 1-0 win at home to Spurs (holders) in the League Cup (73?).
- 3-1 win at highbury. (94?). Over for Christmas, thank you very much Father Christmas! The songs from the match were echoing in my head all night long!
- 3-0 win at Blackpool. Singing in the rain!
- 1-0 home win against Man Utd (75?) (I think that's the one where I had to walk to and from Victoria Station because London Transport was on strike for Man Utd's visit!)
- Miller's goal against Leicester. It felt as though we turned the corner there.
Worst:
- League Cup semi-final, Brian Little's hat trick at Highbury.
- Norwich away, 1976. Just knew that was the title gone.
- Listening to Liverpool beat Wolves 3-1 on the radio. Wolves up 1-0 until 14 minutes from time. Gutted.
- 2-0 home loss to Plymouth on a miserable Tuesday night (2007?). I don't get to see many matches these days and that was a crappy game.
