Park Royal Stadium 1907
« Thread Started on Jan 27, 2011, 1:57pm »
Built by The Great Western Railway Company. Opened in November 1907, Park Royal Stadium held 60,000 including 9,000 under cover 4,000 seated.
Whilst there, Ranger's won the Southern League Championship in 1907/08 and 1911/12.
The Army commandeered Park Royal in February 1915 and Rangers finished the season back at Kensal Rise before moving to Loftus Rd in 1919 where the original Main Stand came from the Park Royal Stadium.

The picture of the stand is the one that was then moved and rebuilt on the Ellerslie Rd side.

I really do wish that the club would take more notice of our wonderful history.

This sort of thing should have a special section in every program.

For starters would be nice if they resumed like they did last year (or year before) these profiles and interviews with players of the past. And put on the website the programme interviews they're having with former QPR Players. (I believe last time was Ron Hunt: That should be on the website also)

To the right of the stand is the Park Royal train station that served the ground.

Great picture bushman.
My Grandad watched us there, from 1909 until the Great War in 1914, when he went off to do his bit.

I remember him when I was very young, talking about the players of that era
Of course I hardly took any notice.......I wish I had though.
Hopefully, they're both looking down, with a smile on their faces, wishing us well for the rest of the season. :)

Are you sure they've upgraded the Ellerslie rd stand since then? Some things still look familiar.

I worked at Wembley dogs in 1970, played on the hallowed turf twice a week for about three months, I made that about 25 caps! ;D Paraded dogs on race nights at White City as well. Used to go there with my grandad who was also responsible for taking me to Rangers. Didn't go to Park Royal obviously and like Zico says, wish I'd listened to him more attentively.

The photograph shows QPR fans flocking to the ground from the Park Royal Station in 1908.
