Trivia. on 22:18 - Aug 9 with 4681 views | terryb | We used to play the same team twice at Christmas & a different team twice at easter. So, I would say it's happened quite a lot! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Trivia. on 22:22 - Aug 9 with 4673 views | DannyPaddox | It happened often when the FA Cup Replays were played the midweek straight after the initial tie. Off the top of my head (cos it’s one of my favourite nights at Loftus Road) in 1978 we beat West Ham 6-1 a few days after a 1-1 draw at Upton Park. Up until the 1960s (or even the 1970s?) League games during the Xmas period would be against the same team home and away. In football generally an over indulgence of Christmas Spirit by the players was said to be the reason for some wildly contrasting scores between teams that would sometimes play the return fixture the very next day. I’ve a memory of playing Ipswich twice over Easter in 1974 and losing both 1-0 which put paid to our ambitions of a first season in Europe. Again from an Rs POV, not in the same week, but 10 years ago we had a 3 match test series against Sheffield United in a little over 3 weeks. Home in the league (D1-1), Away in the FA Cup (D1-1), and Home in the replay (L2-3). The Rs manager for all these games was the charismatic (cough) Paul Hart which is bizarre considering he only managed us for 5 games. Anyway that’s taken up a bit of time. I’m buzzing for tomorrow and rambling at this point. Cmon Yoo RRRRssss!!!! Aah it seems the correct answer is norks! Ps: couldn’t resist a dip into the chives - the ar-chives 1967: 26 Dec: Brighton H 3-0 27 Dec: Brighton A 2-2 1964 26 Dec Bristol Rov H 3-1 28 Dec Bristol Rov A 1-3 1963 26 Dec Bristol City A 0-3 *Abandoned HT 28 Dec Bristol City H 0-2 *Game rearranged 10 March Bristol City A L 1-2 Bristols Bristols Bristols. I can’t go on with this. Goodnight. [Post edited 9 Aug 2019 22:49]

"Off the top of my head (cos it’s one of my favourite nights at Loftus Road) in 1978 we beat West Ham 6-1 a few days after a 1-1 draw at Upton Park." I enjoyed that one, too. Pop Robson scored first, then we slaughtered them. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
