Who is the Oldest QPR Supporter Here? on 21:06 - Aug 23 with 5871 views | RangersDave | 53 this year and went to my fist match at 6 months and apparently wasnt a brat ruining it through crying, as your want to do at that age, and on recent performances this age too. Dad who died in 'feb was 80, supported Rangers sll his life from about 18 months or so i think he went to his first match. did Loftus /road, White City etc loved taking me to the training ground by RAF Northolt when i was 2 or 3 years old. My son went to his first match, at Brum versus Rangers at 3 years old. but he's got a few years to catch me and dad up, thats for sure. | ![](/images/avatars/2047.gif) |

Who is the Oldest QPR Supporter Here? on 21:35 - Aug 23 with 5787 views | BucksRanger | Almost 68 years old now. Have been a football fan for as long as I can remember. I had an uncle on my father's side who played for Brentford and they were the first side I saw but I didn't take to them. After that my father tried me on Fulham but that was no better. Then at the start of the 1958-59 season he took me to see QPR v Colchester. The sun was shining, the pitch was beautiful and the Rangers won the game 4-2 and that was the real start of my life long love affair with the Hoops. I guess that means I've done 60 years next week as the QPR v Colchester game was on 30th August 1958. First hero - Brian Bedford Second hero - Mike Keen Third hero - Mark Lazarus Greatest hero - Rodney Marsh Many others have followed since then but not so many these days. Nowadays I'm somewhat disillusioned with the game and wish for simpler, better times. I'd like to see more decent, honest men running the team. Alec Stock was the ultimate gentleman and all managers at QPR are measured against him. Few, if any, ever match up. Anyway, that's my little contribution to this thread. I'm sure there will be many out there who can beat my 60 years at the Rangers. | ![](/images/avatars/5891.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Also 81. Can't remember what the first game was with my father in 46/47 season but have a clear memory of going with a mate to see us beat Stoke in the F A cup 4th round 3-0 on January 21 st 1948. Born 12/6/37. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Not even close to watching pre-war football. My first game was a 9th birthday present from my old dad. I saw Rangers at home to Brentford on 31st October 1959, we lost 4-2 but Brian Bedford scored both our goals and he became my first hero. Perhaps the date on which we played should have given me some sort of clue about what was to follow (although there have obviously been some good times) but I'm afraid to say that I've seen some nightmares on Ellerslie Road over the intervening years. I often wonder 'what if', had we not lived in the Wembley area back in those days. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Who is the Oldest QPR Supporter Here? on 22:07 - Aug 23 with 5713 views | Stanisgod | I'm 63. First game v Leicester 67-68 because my Spurs/Chelsea/Blackpool supporting grandad/dad and uncle all wanted to go to the first ever Rangers top flight game. I blame them. Totally. Talk about start as you mean to go on, only 3 wins all season. | ![](/images/avatars/1948.gif) |

70 years of QPR. That is spectacular. What was your favourite home ground? Loftus Road I, White City, or Loftus Road II? [Post edited 23 Aug 2018 22:47]

Who is the Oldest QPR Supporter Here? on 22:38 - Aug 23 with 5593 views | stowmarketrange | 58 next month and my first game was in September or October 1970.I only remember that because everything was in old pre-decimal money.I was the first member of my family to support the R’s as I think my dad was a Fulham fan but he never went so I had to ask my mums friend to take me to football.He was a season ticket holder in the South Africa Rd stand.I went into the paddocks for 1 shilling and 3d? I don’t know what my first game was but I remember a midweek game against Fulham/Portsmouth and Rodney scored, | ![](/images/avatars/4993.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Who is the Oldest QPR Supporter Here? on 22:40 - Aug 23 with 5599 views | wortonranger | Ok. I’m 65. I remember my first game we won 2-0 and we sat in the stand. I guess it would have been 1956 or 57. My dad was a lifelong fan, sadly died a year ago aged 91. My two sons are also Rangers nuts, though not my son in law ( even though his grandad was a Rangers fan). First game I went to on my own was v Brentford in 1965. We won 1-0. Dad used to take me to the youth team games in the early 60’s as he thought they were safer. I remember going to a game on the morning of the cup final. We beat Chelsea and I still have the programme ( a sheet of paper). Both teams were full of players who would become internationals. We won by the way and the league and reached the semi final of the youth cup. | ![](/images/avatars/6499.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Who is the Oldest QPR Supporter Here? on 23:10 - Aug 23 with 5537 views | Hooped_Pullie | A veritable youngster at 55, started supporting from afar in the early Eighties, came to live in London in 1988 and first game at LR was v West Ham, October that year. I still watch the highlights of that game on You Tube and try and pick myself out in the Paddocks...haven't managed it yet. During my decade as an ST holder in Ellerslie (1996-2006) I sat very close to an old guy named Willie, came with his son and grandson. He was nudging 90, had been a supporter pretty much all his life with some great stories to tell. Found out a couple of years ago that he'd passed away and his son had passed away very soon after. His grandson still goes, as far as I know, or at least he had been doing up to a couple of years ago, I rarely sit in Ellerslie now. [Post edited 23 Aug 2018 23:13]
