    This is the sort of thing that would happen to QPR. Come to think of it anyone remember that game at Bolton in the 70s in a the snow we lost 6-4?...

    Yes, I really enjoyed it as well. At one point in that clip I could see my front door to my flat on the White City estate and my old school Ellerslie too. Both no longer exist sadly. John Noakes was a childhood hero of mine, some of the stuff he did was both brave and frightening. Scaling Nelson's Column was one that comes to mind.

    I don't consciously remember it, but there is a possibility I saw it and thought nothing of it Greg.

    Cheer CB<ok> I wasn't born until 75 so unfortunately missed out on our golden era<wah>

    I am aware of the energy crisis of the early to mid 70's so find this very interesting in a geeky kind of way<cheers>

    yes nines, but had left in 1970. At 1 min. 46 seconds my flat was just out of sight. We lived on the bottom floor next to where the laundry room was. Approximately 2 minutes to enter the ground. Now takes about 4 hours for the privilege of watching last Saturdays performance:emoticon-0106-cryin:emoticon-0106-cryin:emoticon-0106-cryin

    at that time I was an apprentice and we were doing battles with the scum in the FA cup. We got a replay back at our place, but because of the energy crisis the game had to be played mid-week in the afternoon. They knew I was a fanatical Rangers fan and was told they wouldn't look favourably on me if I went. I did, we won and it was worth the bollocking:emoticon-0100-smile
