As I said, I might have got some details not quite right, but it's the gist of what I've heard several different times from various sources.
If I'm wrong, I apologise, and perhaps somone could let us know if it IS correct.

I remember Daphne,one of the faces of QPR & if thats the reason we have that tune on after everytime we win then thats fine with me.

If not lets get rid :devil:

To expand...it was, I believe, written into the will of the late Daphne Biggs (who seemed to run the club single-handedly when I was growing up) for a request to be made to the club to play it after every home victory, as it was her favourite football-linked song. the club agreed, so I believe now it may well be a legal requirement under the terms of her will.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

(For those too young to remember, Daphne seemed to run the supporters club, the shop, the Box Office, the away coach and train travel and seemed to be around everything that was going on.
Well worth putting up with 'Hi Ho' for, imho.
And there are still a LOT of fans who join in with it when we win.)

If true what a fantastic story

[qpr_yuley]

Great story.

Let the song forever be played when we win!

You got it spot on my friend

[ScottJones]

Thanks for confirming that DG. And, once again to Swanley for posting the details.

That is quite a wonderful story and really brings a new meaning to the song.

RIP Daphne

think Daphne would have loved this


we're everywhere & nowhere Rangers
that's where we're at
going down a bumpy hillside
in our blue & white hat

driving across the county
to see our team
heading towards the premiership
we are supreme

and it's Hi Ho Queens Park Rangers
everywhere we go Oh Flavio
i see the sun is shinning
but i wont make a fuss
tho it's obvious
