Best ever QPR friendlies 19:24 - Jun 26 with 13578 viewsqueensparker

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

Any more stick in the memory?

July 2000.
Brentford 0 QPR 2.
The first sighting of Peter Crouch.
Although he didn't score-Stuart Wardley and Richard Langley-Pete became an instant hit with the R's supporters chanting SIGN HIM UP! SIGN HIM UP!
Gerry Francis did just that.
The only bright spot in what turned out to be a disastrous season.
Crouchy Rangers top scorer with 12 goals.


Even the QPR fans were calling him 'stringy'.

Union Berlin away.
Outside the ground having a few beers in blazing sunshine, then once in the ground the heavens opened and the game was abandoned after 12 minutes.
DJ played loads of rain themed songs then when it stopped us and a few others ended up walking to some real dodgy place in East Berlin called the Hangover bar for a few hours.
Top away day


The home Union Berlin one was good too, lots of them turned up and were very loud.

Marsh sent off in a "friendly"

Do you remember what he did.

Quite amazing get marching orders in effectively a training session. Or stupid.


rodney dummied one of the rangers players, kai johansen, who was coming in with a slide tackle, but caught rodney in the legs. rodney was on the floor kicking him, but got fed up with the kicking, got up threw a few punches.
one of the rangers players come running over to intervene, bobby watson, but rodney head butted him.....game over for rodney.

I can’t remember Larsson playing in that game? Might have been Agathe? He was a tricky winger who might have been on that side.


think we played celtic 3 times within a few years. the first was around 2007 i think.

the chelsea and the brentford friendlies mentioned were about the best for me as well.
used to enjoy the aldershot away games as well.
atalanta not too long ago, at home.
and tottenham home pre season friendly, about 20/25 years ago, every one sitting in that sun got burnt to a cinder.

Another vote for Barkers testimonial vs the Reggae Boyz, a great atmosphere and not a sign of trouble.
Not the best one, but does anyone else remember the game against Al Ahly?

I remember it as I was driving down Wood Lane beforehand and got stuck behind two Pagani Zondas.

Definitely the best friendly for the oppo’s cars

Thankfully we are not playing Oxford in a friendly this season but we can gain revenge as the mighty Oxford boys are in our league this season.

Get our own back for the cup final 1986 debacle !!!

my first 2 friendlies against qpr were both scottish teams, plenty of action, plenty of goals.
1968/69....qpr 6-3 arbroath

1969/70.....qpr 3-3 glasgow rangers, marsh got sent off.

i went to a pre season friendly round about this era, a home game against leicester, got to the ground only to be told it was postponed. don't think it ever got under way later either.
think i even bought a programme for this as well, i'll have to dig it out.


I went to the Arbroath friendly and if my memory serves me correct Rangers didn't have any fit goalkeepers available and we had to "borrow" Gordon Philips from Brentford.

Another one that hasn't been mentioned yet. Tony Ingham testimonial. QPR beat the England World Cup winning team 5-2 with Rodney scoring a hat trick. That was the day I knew there was no other team for me.

I can't remember when, I can't remember against who, it was at home and Alan McDonald and Danny Maddix played together many years after leaving the club. It was kind of surreal but a great pleasure watching them play together again especially as they were both very fit.

Indeed, that's how I remember it, thanks for the detail. I think we remarked at the time it was a "Glasgow Kiss". I was surrounded by Glasgow Rangers supporters in South Africa Road terrace, one of whom shouted, to great cheers all round, "there's only one Rangers...and that's Glasgie Rangers!"

I somehow recall the Arbroath players looking quite rustic (?) and heavy compared with our team?

Blooming heck !!!!

So he kicked a bloke a few times, threw a few haymaker punches and then headbutted the bloke trying to be a peacemaker in a "FRIENDLY" !!!! 🤣

Hardly merits a caution tbf !!!!

Was it the proverbial "Wrong side of bed" day for Rodney....

i was only 10 or 11 when we played arbroth, i can remember a short stocky ginger winger for them, he was very pacy though, maybe even scored a couple, maybe.
