It’s weird, wasn’t aware they’d fiddled around with the local boundaries until this week. Our old ward MP was Sarah Teather who was good, then Dawn Butler who we never saw.
Now poky Kensal Green has been absorbed into a posher constituency looking forward to seeing what happens. Hopefully Georgia can level all the empty flats around Westfield for a new ground within a couple of years
It’s just a glorified kickabout at this stage - didn’t watch it but sounds a lot better than getting comprehensively trounced by eg Oxford like last pre season
Used to love bunking off school in the summer in the late 80s / early 90s, getting there at 4am and queuing up for tickets.
You could end up with some decent courts in the early rounds doing that, and even if you only got the cheapest outside courts ticket you’d always find someone leaving in the afternoon pissed on Pimms who’d give you their ticket for the good courts.
Brilliant day out, no idea if it still works like this and still possible?
Noticed some murmurs about why nobody’s buying tickets to the QPR Spurs friendly.
There’s a few reasons - summer holidays, price - but the main reason is obviously that pre-season friendlies are always shite and a waste of money.
Still, there’s the odd exception:
That one where we beat Man U 4-1 under Warburton Leroy Griffiths v Chelsea The Brentford away one where we debuted Massimo Mauro, never to be seen again Our European trophy win in Ibiza
Hard to know what to make of Kolli, as most of his games were under Ainsworth where he came on to replace a number 9 and then we just hoofed it at him aimlessly. That's clearly not his game.
The last game I think before he disappeared injured he put in an amazing cross for a goal which is the only real contribution I remember him making, other than straight into the top ten best QPR haircuts.
Hope he comes good but we really can't go into another season with Dykes, Kolli and Armstrong up front.
James a bit of a forgotten band but in the Manchester / rave early 90s era when they were still relatively unknown they were superb live. Saw them a few times back then, some of the best gigs I’ve been to, and great T-shirts too.
Trevor Francis was a good one back then. We cleaned up on “past-it” England players for a while and it paid off (Reid, Hodge, Francis, Wilkins, Sansom)
Ha - to be fair I was living (briefly) in the real Queens Park when I made my login - must be 20 years ago now… Jesus. On Harvist Road even which I since found out was one of our early grounds.
The Salusbury is a great place, used to sit in there listening to the reggae all the time
The Queens Park pub I really miss is The Corrib. Loved it in there. A real shame that got shut down, it was a proper place in the old days, you never quite knew which set of reprobates were going to be hiring the function room on any given night!
Congratulations to Eze. Delighted for him. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke.
This reminds me of when Paul Parker played in Italia 90 and all the QPR fans knew he’d be brilliant, or when Crouch got in playing in 2004. Feel like a proud Dad
The WIV is still going but every time I’ve been in there recently it feels like The Masons did, massive lovely old building with nobody in it. I fear for it.
The one that is going gangbusters is The Island aka The Buccaneer from the old days. Gone from a flat roof pub in all but architecture to rammed out day in day out. Known locally as the raver’s graveyard due to the preponderance of knackered old parents who clearly enjoyed the 90s and now settling down (I include myself in this number)
The Chamberlayne and the Whippet (old Greyhound) seem healthy as well.
And Maggie’s Bar for the old school Irish is still one of my favourites
I’ll miss The Masons though, hope someone takes it on but the location screams “cheap new build flats”
Thought Eze did enough to get more of the country behind him and show what he can do. Only player in that first half who didn’t do the usual England thing and take three touches and play the easy ball. He should be pleased with that.
