Harrow-QPR FT 1:1

[Macmoish]

Harrow would really appreciate people coming: They need the gate money...

"Kick off at Earlsmead, in South Harrow, is 7.30pm Monday night and tickets are priced at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions."

"...Next stop for the R’s in the pre-season campaign is Ryman Premier League side Harrow Borough. This is becoming a regular feature on the QPR summer programme and is crucial to the survival of a famous non-league name in our area. Manager Dave Howell told LoftforWords he is keen to see as many R’s fans at the game on Monday as possible.

Howell said: “Our Vice Presidents and supporters have been working really hard trying to raise funds to keep football alive at Harrow Boro FC. The club are still in considerable financial difficulties but hopefully with the help of the support from the Super Hoops it will help us to survive another season. Last season towards the end of February we were lying just off a play off position but we paid the price for a disappointing end to the season and in the end finished around mid table. On a positive note I have managed to keep nearly all the players from last season and despite our financial worries I hope we can surprise a lot of people by pushing for a play off position.

“In the early to mid nineties while I was working as a player coach with Barry Fry at Birmingham City we won the Division Two Championship at Huddersfield’s Town’s McAlpine Stadium, where Neil Warnock was in charge. That same season Neil finished fifth but still managed to achieve promotion by beating Bristol Rovers at Wembley in the play offs final. I'm hoping along with many Super Hoop fans for promotion this season to the Premiership and wish Neil all the best in his efforts.

“I do have some new exciting and promising young players so it will be a great test for my team against a strong QPR XI. The following week on Tuesday, August 10, Birmingham City will also bring a team down to Harrow Boro. Both of these friendly matches are so crucial to the financial short term future of the club.”

Former Harrow player Albert Adomah moved from Barnet to Bristol City this summer, a ove that was predicted on LFW by Dave Howell 12 months ago. He said: “I'm confident that Albert Adomah will do well under Steve Coppell at Bristol City. Steve has been very impressed with Albert's performances and his attitude so far as they prepare for the start of the new season. I'm also pleased that Albert will be playing for such an experienced and respected manager. Steve was also an excellent right winger himself and he will be able to help develop Albert further by making him a better all round player.”

Kick off at Earlsmead, in South Harrow, is 7.30pm on Monday night and tickets are priced at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions. On a personal note I think it’s a dire shame that so many good, historical, local football clubs are struggling to survive while football fans sit at home or in pubs watching Manchester United and Chelsea, If you get a chance on Monday, next Tuesday or at any point this season to get down to Harrow and support one of our local teams then please do."

It was good of Clive and others to remind people of this event - because Our Official Site certainly hasn't!

[eskey8]

They have a massive squad!!! Man City eat your heart out!

[Macmoish]

Guess our club feel playing the game is enough. Reminding or encouraging people to attend is not necessary.

[Macmoish]

Pellicori Apparently playing again...

"At harrow boro, where there may be a riot if pellicori doesn't come on soon. He's the man they've all come to see."

[Macmoish]

Aren't they worried he may get injured, and then our chance to sell him will be thwarted...

[bowles]

[Macmoish]

QPR XI SHARE THE SPOILS

Romone Rose was on target, as a QPR XI shared the spoils with Harrow Borough on Monday night.

The diminutive striker smashed home from 10 yards out after Lee Brown's teasing cross bounced up into the path of the teenager in the 50th minute.

However, the R's were unable to hold on to their lead, as Boro's Troy Hewitt drew the hosts level, with a bullet header at the back post.
