I've been in a couple of times. Firstly at home to Leeds, the year they last won the league, and we wn 4-1. It was with my daughter, and my mate, and his son. Then last season with my boy, om holiday, in Puerto Rico.
Also my sons football team, which I used to run, were in at at home to Wigan a few years ago. Furlong scored the only goal.

Did you appear in the matchday programme?

Yep, many times in the late 80's.

I was the guy responsible for the ill-fated "QPR In The Universe Cup" series.

Initially, it was written as a 20 part Roy of the Rovers spoof series to run in every home programme throughout the season. In reality, due to lack of programme space, it only appeared around 4 or 5 times, seemed un-ended and baffled everyone.

Still, it helped to give it iconic status as the "worst feature ever to appear in any matchday programme" - not that it needed much help.

Through it, I became a friend of "Statistics Wizard" Derek Buxton and he used to name-check me in the programme until we lost touch because the "men in white coats" wouldn't let me write or make phone calls.

Great story!

I forgot about Derek - think he got treated pretty harshly at the time?

Dont remember that series, I'll have to dig out some old programmes and have a gander!!

[RussRanger]

He did get treated pretty harshly at the time. One month he got treated pretty harshly 34 times but his record was set in September 1983 when he was treated pretty harshly 106 times.

Hope all copies of the programmes from that season - somewhere between 87 and 89/90, I think? - have been burned. But probably not.

For the record, I was paid £10 per episode. Derek Buxton got a complimentary season ticket for his contribution and went on to collect around 27 season tickets in this manner.
