Think it was ripped up around 87/88 Westy and Chelsea 6-0 was a great day but Liverpool in 86 Milk Cup Semi was one of my favourite games on it.

Great times, & I always remember many games being cancelled because of the weather, but ours always went ahead.
Also remember a friendly against Notts County, I think we was supposed to be playing away, & almost every game in the country had been called off, so they put on a friendly.

Remember it fondly, mainly due to it coinciding with a particularly successful and entertaining era of our history.
It was like watching a different game though. Just imagine what the game would be like if it were played on concrete. It certainly required us to play in a different way.
Remember my brother in law telling me a funny story. Apparently, about 5 minutes before the teams were due to come out, the away team dressing room door would open and a bucket of vaseline would come sliding in through it.
Now that's how to take advantage.

Other players I remember seeing on Television during the Astro Turf days were Mike Flanagan and Mike Fillery. I`m not sure any of those two were that good, but anyway. Mike Fillery came to QPR from Chelsea, I think. A quite tecnical gifted midfielder. Probably in the same team as Gary Waddock..QPR
Best team in the world
