Thread | GEORGE GRISTWOOD RIP
at 14:59 18 Oct 2024
Sadly George has passed away at the age of 94.
The term 'legend' is used all too frequently nowadays, however in terms of supporting our team, I would suggest that the term is appropriate here.
Home and away with Rangers and England almost his entire life, undeterred by the coach journey to Sunderland on a January evening even into his 80's his passion never waned.
He would recall matches from during the war, some even pre-war, and the promotion sealing trips to Bournemouth in 1948 and Villa in 1968 amongst the more obvious ones, including all the games at Wembley in 1966.
The QPR LSA awarded him supporter of the year in 2015, although frankly he could have been nominated every season.
The picture shows George on the left with another R, Bill, his older brother who left us earlier in the year.
The end of an era.

I haven't trawled the ocean floor for differing R's opinions elsewhere for many a moon and find that there really aren't that many any more.
Clearly Ciive is the Oracle, but healthy competition and all that can't be a bad thing even if we're not competing against each other?
Actually, as I polish off the last of this Margaux, most of them were amateur even in the heyday of giving out unfounded abuse.
As you were....W ankers... |

Now we're all relaxed about not having to visit Shrewsbury et al next season, and having watched Phil Foden wearing a Superman cape at Spurs earlier, I thought I'd take a look at the other contenders, even though he would get my vote.
Odegaard, great player, but no Rodri?
Are you kidding? The first player on the team sheet for a Premier League XI for me , does no-one else see this? |

Does anyone know where the Rangers owned bar is here?
Or, indeed anywhere near Los Cristianos where I can watch our game tomorrow? |

For those that know me or those that don't, I'll be exploring Nor'n this week.
Flying over after Day One of the fourth test in Manchester I was hoping to go to Brandywell but UEFA ground restrictions looks that it is unlikely I'll get in.
Still I'll be drinking in Derry on Thursday and Belfast on Friday evenings and you're welcome to drink me under the table.

The light at the end of the tunnel may not be an oncoming train after all.
After speaking to the local MP yesterday, who in turn had spoken to Fullers, the pub has not yet been sold and is going on the market as a boozer.
Any would be investors please get in touch, who knows, along with myself, could be standing behind the bar of London's premier QPR themed pub in six months.  |

I'm distraught. No apologies.
My local has closed, one would imagine for good.
It's only a local tragedy yet seen out nationally.
Carry on though, buy Harry's book, complaining if staff didn't swallow his cum.
The rest of his family are no better, hope they all die screaming.
If they don't, perhaps they can be chauffeured to A & E, unlikely because ALL
TORIES ARE C UNTS, as are Fullers, Tory party donors.
Maybe go to church and pray, don't bother though, there is no God, or
certainly not one that's beneficial, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.
I don't care, f uck you, f uck me, because we're all fuc ked, especially Rangers.
QPRXTC, my good friend, tonight is my turn. |

The initial 3000 allocation has all but gone.
The club has requested another 500 although they are unsure whether we will receive them.
This is exactly the same amount as we received last season. |
