    I was 7, it was my first season of going to LR with my Dad, and just understanding what was going on when I went to the matches, and I remember being heartbroken - see nothing's changed over the years <laugh>

    I was 9 and couldn't bring myself to listen to it on the radio. I was out in the backway playing alley soccer with my brothers with my father giving us goal alerts. It looked so good for so long. The first of many heart breaks.

    I've posted my experience of that night at least twice before on here. I can't bear to do so again. One of the worse night's of my life.

    YES I HATE NORWICH AS WELL HAVING GONE TO THAT MATCH AND GETTING TURNED OVER
    But yes it was so hartbreaking me and all the loft boys went to the upstairs of the springbok the battle commanders said if we lose knowbody smashes this pub its our pub its sacred but unfortunately there was quite a lot of damage as glasses were thrown through the optics
    qpr fans were hysterical never has pain been so painfull never has my heart been so broken,but lokoking back on that season dave thomas hit twelve goals which was amazing as he was suppoosedd to be an orthadox winger who was only a creator,don masson also punched well above his weight and scored quite a lot of goals
    when we had signed johny hollins he had been a very high scorer for chelsea once scoring 17 goals in one season but john just didnt have his goalscoring boots that season,he was quite brilliant but those missing goals could have tipped the scales but anyway still hate norwich,and looking back on it all ,it seems only yesterdayit is hard to believe that it was 40 years

    Hmm, it was always light and bitter as far as I remember, and there was plenty of lager about in 1976. These 'QPR' people you hung around with smashing up pubs sound like a right bunch of ****s.

    Is there even the slightest chance that you could piss off back where you came from?

    Just wondering.
