Have the club said if they're doing anything for the 20th anniversary of the stadium opening?

Wouldn't normally expect much for something like that but as we're playing QPR as we did in the first game thought there might be something.

Mad to think we're likely to get a much bigger crowd Saturday than we did for that game.

Spoke to a mate of mine who is a Watford fan and said QPR were absolutely horrendous at the weekend and lucky it wasn’t a cricket score.

Lump your money on QPR.

They're putting on a special train service. Thomas & Friends. They're just going to drive past though, as they can’t stop.

20 years celebrating a football stadium built next to a train track that still has no workable station. Outstanding.

A group of us do his “last one standing”. It’s on a big rollover at the moment and really decent money to win. Worth getting on it if you’re not already

I watched the highlights, QPR could have scored 2, before the third

I’m just going off what he told me mate. He’s quite an honest fan when they are decent or poor but he said QPR were ones of the worst teams he’s seen in recent years. To use a new SBT favourite id say they are honking

Fair play, not saying they are any good, but it could have been 2. 2, not long before.

That answers that then, looking back at memorable moments in the buildup to the game appears to be it

Ticket sales not looking as strong as the Hull game. Reckon we're heading for 28K if QPR bring 2K. Still decent obviously.

Nuts how we are slightly disappointed with circa 28K now! Think your about right with that, not sure how many QPR sold, they normal Travel pretty well, thought they might sell out.

I thought they were looking OK.

I think they’ve released some of the “reserved areas” earlier than they did for Hull.

Am I right in remembering Jorgensen scored our first goal that day and QPR had a man sent off?

Can't believe it was 20 yrs ago.

Didn't they have pretty much all behind the goal a few years ago? The game Shipley scored that pisser of a goal

Admittedly, it is the only time I ever remember them bringing a strong following up here

Just remembered one of the funnier moments of last season was their away following slaughtering Lampard all game for us to go and score with the last kick of the game

QPR will play the low block. Although, I don't necessarily associate them for that kind of tactic unlike say Preston.
OPR teams normally have a lot of flair players, and are wildly inconsistent, but you don't want want to catch them on one of their good days.

Bowles the type of player and personality you may still see in the Championship but probably never again in the top flight.

A fine side who at one stage should have won the old Div 1 trophy. Think out of their last 10 games they only lost one at Norwich and it allowed Liverpool to win the league at Wolves.
