I remember my dad taking all over the country on the supporters coach to watch QPR when they were in the old 3rd divusion, rain or shine. They were some of my favorite memories I have of the two of us together. Take your son.
I'll echo that. The best times I had with my dad, and continue to have, are at the football, particularly away. I don't really remember as far back as five but some of those awful QPR teams in the late 90s and early 00s when I was a bit older were great fun to follow away as a kid even if they averaged about three away wins a season.
The last second goal against Doncaster gave me a lot of pleasure...and Flyer...you seemed quite pleased too. If you think Flyer is not a proper R, you should have seen him bounce around when Charlie scored.....he was happy with a capital H. Much of the depression we/I put about (e.g. my predictions on the prediction league) is a simple defense mechanism, to prevent ourselves being hurt too much.....and we would be doing it even if we were a Manchester club and winning every week
I would go if I could , would love to be cheering The boys on to another victory , but can't afford it , what with the ferry costs and fuel ,so soon after Xmas . Would definitely be going if I were an hour away .only been able to afford two home game s so far this season .AND we won them both . Go don't regret it .
....or perhaps H for Harry? Well on my visit to Loftus Road for the Charlton game I experienced a dose of immense pleasure when Charlie scored that cracking goal at the School end where I sitting with Finglas, Flanman, Inky, Roller and other members of the Irish R's contingent. Of course we were up there on our feet bouncing around too, hugging one another!
You have to admit the rest of the game was pretty painful and unenjoyable though. No one expects to win every week but a bit of passion and excitement wouldn't go amiss. I went home from the home citeh 3-2 loss happy that we went toe to toe with them and could have won it, I'd be happy win, lose or draw if we played like that every week.
I am 23 minutes walk away (times quite precisely due it being near my workplace) so will be there. Unfortunately, I'm sitting in the front row of the die-hard Ipswich section where my other half has her season ticket seat - domestic bliss in the making!

That was more like me after the equaliser because I was thinking, "get the ball back to the centre circle and score another" good effort on the video.
