Thread | Andrew Slade
at 10:35 11 Jan 2025
Some supporters who attended the Preston game, may have been aware of a medical emergency that occurred in the Upper Loft right at end of the match. Andrew had had a brain haemorrhage and was taken to Charing Cross hospital. He spent 2 weeks in ICU over Christmas with family at his bedside but very sadly, at the age of only 61, he died last week.
Some of you will have known Andrew and many of you will have sat near him ,as he had a a season ticket in the upper loft for over 30 years.
It may have been that Andrew’s last conscious thoughts were celebrating that Jimmy Dunne very late winning goal and all the joy of a dramatic victory, at a place he spent so many happy times. This may give those who knew and loved him a tiny crumb of comfort.When thinking about Bill Shankly’s quote about football being more important than life and death, well what happened to Andrew certainly contradicts those words.
Andrew has been taken decades too early and our thoughts are with Vanessa, Michael,Miranda and all his family and friends. RIP Andrew

Thread | Free to qpr home- 1980s programmes
at 08:19 8 Jun 2023
While clearing my mum's old flat, I found a long forgotten, old plastic folder of programmes from the early 1980s. There's about 80 of them, including the cup final. Some are autographed. I'm so glad I stopped buying them, I'd have a roomful by now!
Anyway, does anyone want them? They're at my brother's place in Brighton but can be posted, probably be about £8-10 for postage. DM me if interested |

Thread | At the end yesterday

Felt a bit sorry for Dunne, Dieng and Dickie. These were the only player that tried to acknowledge the away support and received a very hostile welcome. Dickie was even abused close up as he gave his shirt to someone at the front. The rest of the cowards didn't even cross the half way line.
I know collectively we were a pile of crap but fair play to these players who came forward.

Crikey that was poor. Not sure we made their keeper make a single save. How can a top 6 team have such a poor game against the rock bottom side? So disjointed, so ineffectual. So utterly pathetic. We seemed to coast through the game thinking we're gonna score in a minute, but never hurt them at all.
Brilliant days drinking utterly ruined by crap team's effort. So predictable!

Thread | Barnsley game on sky

Why on earth is the kick off so late? We can't even get back to Manchester on the train at this time, so those heading further afield must have no chance. With the way things are going, it would've been an unusually large away following for a change at Barnsley. Now it will be tiny.
What an attractive fixture for a neutral to watch on a Saturday night- those that do watch must be football fanatics. |

Lots of grumbles about him recently but we need to learn how to play to his strengths. He came on yesterday and looked pretty sharp, making a couple of runs in between Centre halves but as usual yesterday we just didn't release the ball quickly enough. He won't be offside if ball is played quickly, just like the opposition did. |

Can you imagine what a lean time it has been for ticket touts. Sod all business. Trying to get refunds for the hundreds of tickets they bought up front. Can't imagine they paid tax etc so would've got zero help from government schemes.
Sure they or their like will come out from under rocks when this all ends, but i wonder what new scummy ways they've come up with to steal money by recently |

1st half 50/50 we hit post with a header. From there on nothing. Absolutely nothing.
A truly insipid and utterly clueless, guiless pile of compete nonthingless. Huddersfield were shit but good enough to put us to bed. Embarrassing performance from us.
