First home game: Arsenal, Easter Monday April 1976. A come from behind 2-1 win with a late penalty winner from Gerry.
First away game: Ch*ls**, April 1980. A 2-0 win with goals from Martyn Busby and (sub today) Steve Burke. Very satisfying as whilst we weren't in any danger of promotion, it severely dented their hopes. In fact they ended up missing out to Birmingham on goal difference
Last QPR game: The game against Hull on New Year's Day where Green threw one in right at the end to gift them the points after Polter had equalised late on.
1st home game QPR 0-0 Birmingham City 25nd April 1978
Even though I didn't know a lot about football it was pretty obvious that the good old days had gone, but I felt at home at Loftus Road. I can't say I ever expected any great success, although I never imagined the club would go down to the third tier.
Last game Nottingham Forest away 0-0 22nd February 2020

First home Stoke 74/75 lost 0 1 to a late goal (and so it begins) by Geoff Hurst! Shown on the Big Match the next day. Went away to Willesden (!) and Watford mid 70s for opening of floodlights/testimonial, first proper away, Spurs 7879 , drew 1 1 at Easter on our way to relegation. Also shown on the Big Match next day. Last games, Brum home, Forest away
1st home game v Man City in about 1978. 1-1, Gerry Francis equalised for us.
1st away, 82 cup final replay if you call that an away game. First league away game was at Spurs in 83 after we got promoted. Lost 3-2. Mike Flanagan got one of our goals.
Last game. Home v Charlton in 2016 last time we were in the UK. 2-1 win with El Khayati scoring a spectacular winner right in front of us in the 94th minute

First home match an easy win over Palace, early in the season, probably 1957. First away about ten years later in our promotion season. Last match like many of us, Brum 2-2.

First home game: QPR 0 West Ham 3 - memory tells me it was Boxing Day 1981 but might be wrong. West Ham were a handy team in those days with Brooking/Devonshire/Cross/Lampard Sr/Billy Bonds etc and absolutely smashed us. To my eternal shame as a tiny kid I had decided I supported West Ham after they won the FA Cup so turned up in a load of Hammers gear (hat/scarf etc) that my uncle had got me for Christmas. That didn't last long
First away game: not sure but think it was probably Wimbledon at Plough Lane some time in the late 80s. Or maybe Palace. Somewhere in the wilds of south London which in those days to 15 year old me might as well have been on the moon.
Last home game: QPR 4 Stoke 2. Wish I'd known it was the last one!
Last away game: Brentford last season. Stomped out in a proper mood.

Sure it was a three nil defeat? We played them on Boxing Day 1980 but beat them 3-0 although that season they would be division 2 champions. We didn't meet again until 83/84. That's the only time around that late 70s/early 80s period we played them at Christmas.

Jesus, you're absolutely right. We won 3-0, but as I was a West Ham 'fan' then I've got my memories all confused... My abiding memories are of Lampard Sr shooting at the School End and clearing the stand, the brilliant amount of inventive swearing going on (few firsts for me there), and how much grief my Dad and his mates were getting for their little boy turning up in claret n blue.
It was f--king ace, and here we are today...

First home game - midweek v Barnet in the League Cup in 1993, went with a mate from school. Torrential rain, got soaked in the lower loft, we won 4-0 with a Devon White hattrick I think? :) Oh and Andy Impey...
First away game - at Villa in the 95/96 season, also the League Cup bizarrely, lost 1-0. I was at uni in Brum hence easy to get to!
QPR 1 Oxford United 2, early 1970. I was five-and-a-half, taken by an uncle. Unfortunately it was just before I got my first pair of specs and I didn't see any of the game, but I loved the atmosphere. Cried when Rodney Marsh wasn't fit to play, having loved him on the Big Match, but I wouldn't have seen him anyway.
DIdn't go again until late in the promotion season (1973), beat Fulham 2-0, brought by another uncle. Me and my brother stood at the front of the School End, I remember making monkey chants at Peter Mellor. Didn't go again until with school friends in 1979, post-relegation.
First away game was a 1-1 at Leyton Orient in 1980. Chiefly memorable for seeing someone in a J-cloth hood. Was that a thing?

I though the first one was vs Brentford around 1960. Don't remember it being 0-0 though.
