    STOOPID GAME
    It doesn't go back far enough for me

    Hate this STOOOPID game

    EDIT Is it because the Third division N and S happened about 1958...and they haven't got those records????

    I was born in June xxxx.

    We had finished third in what is now the second division and had just missed out on promotion to the first div (Championship) by 2 points. (Remember it was 2 points for a win in those days.)

    Bury and Walsall were promoted. Watford were in 4th place, 6 point behind us.

    Our best result that season was a 9(nine)-2 home win against Tranmere!

    Were you born before 1920 Beth?

    Use this page and just change the date at top right of the page. (This is page is for 1970/71).
    http://www.statto.com/football/teams/queens-park-rangers/1970-1971

    Click on the club's name on the table and it will show you the individual match scores for the season (not the dates).

    Although I was born on a Saturday (during the reading of the football results at 5 p.m.) QPR did not play that day. But we did two days later on Monday 23 January 1961, winning 3-1 away at Newport County, keeping us 2nd in the old Division 3. But we finished 3rd, Bury and Walsall promoted.

    By reading the other posts I realise I was born in the same year as Eamon and Aussie. Sorry for outing your age Eamon......but I am 6 months your senior.

    Unbelievable, I couldn't win a chook raffle even if l bred it myself.
    Oh well, it's always good to have a big brother to look up to and to buy me beers when in need.

    I hadn't known that I was born on a Tuesday until I looked at these stats, so the previous Saturday we had won and we also won the next Saturday too, not bad considering we had ended an eight game losing spell a couple of weeks before that.
    We eventually finished 18th in the old Third Division (South) that season.
