    3 games off, £60 travel out of pocket

    I think despite admittedly heavy rain last night the fact it was off was an effing joke. I have sat & watched QPR games at loftus road in equally heavy rain in last 33 years.


    When I decided to move to Torquay(No regrets) I knew potentially the odd game would be off but now I fear a wet day. :what:


    I paid £16.60 return coach travel & just got home,people I saw at the box office had come from Aberdeen. I got news at 7pm. Apparently they waited till 6.50pm for Watford coach to turn up.

    This sat I am travelling by train £30 return,hope it dont rain.:(

    So much for your weather prediction skills
    Banning people is no longer my hobby,
    but take a look at my photo blog:

    How and why did I start supporting QPR in Estonia:

        I remember the game at Wolves a few years back -- torrential rain, players wading at times, but Gallen still managed a sublime lob to score for us.
        Can't believe our pitch was as bad as that one that day.

            Yep -- that was a shocker.
            A real 70's throwback.
            Sort of pitch Stan thrived on.

              The weather against Norwich last season was dreadful and the game went on.

              But I have to say that it rained in central and north London yesterday for almost 18 hours. If it was anything like that in West London, I am not surprised it was called off.

              ASnyone look on the bright side. With Harford in charge, QPR wold probably have lost the game. Now, if he gets sacked a new manager will get an extra game (and a winable one at that).

                        Believe me games went ahead in a lot worse during the 70's and early 80's.
                        Before the plastic pitch we must have had one of the worst pitches, but still they played.

                            Yes, well remember Stan making great use of the mud to jink his way through entire defences.
