I hadn't seen this before and found it interesting if you're a QPR history nerd

Thanks eusebio.
I enjoyed that. I can see where Jim Gregory got the year 1882 as the club's origin, but I thought it showed conclusively that Bushman is correct (surprise, surprise) as to regard of the club's formation!

Great video. Thanks for posting. I was born in a flat on 5th Avenue. When I was 4, we moved to the next street - Droop Street - just the other side of the bomb site.. St.Judes Hall is on the corner of 4th Avenue and Ilbert Street - we used to play outside and use the doors as a goal. From there I went to Droop Street School until the age of eleven. When we got our bikes, we cycled to Queens Park - the other side of the railway / station - and played our football there. Shorter games were played in the playground at Queens Park flats (Peach Street before the war). I remained in the area until 1977 at which point, I moved away to get married. To this day, I still sit with 2 of my Queens Park school friends in Ellerslie Road Stand. Our group has expanded to take in our children and an ever expanding group of friends. So, QPR from when I was born. QPR until I die!

I agree about legroom, though I'm very excited that I got my old seat back for next year. I'm off to NY in November to see the Packers at the Giants, one of these years they'll stop me coming in

Eusebio when you coming back down under?? So Christchurch Rangers were 1882 and the St Judes were 1885 and together in 1886. I would say the club were formed when the two clubs merged in 1886. but that's justmy opinion. An excellent glimpse into the very early history. I hate myself for not visitng these sites when I was there in 1980 &85.

Macey can't find anything before 1887 and neither can I.

Hi Lone can you believe its a year since I was in NZ, many fond memories for your home country especially Wellington but it'll be a while before I push off that far though off to watch the Rs in Vienna next month.
