[Edited a couple more years] Can you remember when the season actually BEGAN so late in the month
August 25, 1973: QPR 1 Southampton 1
45 Years ago, today: QPR's First Game back in the (old) First Division under Gordon Jago/Bobby Campbell. At home to Southampton
With John Delve replacing suspended Gerry Francis, QPR drew 1-1. Obviously, with hindsight, this was a brilliant QPR Team (with a few weaknesses) which went on to almost-great things.
But before the start of the season, there were concerns: QPR's only previous experience with the First Division was their 1968/69 18 points humiliation.

Alan Mullery's first game in charge of QPR having replaced Terry Venables (and the one-week appointment of Gordon Jago).:
Things good looked Aug 25 1984 ...With 2 wins and 2 draws from our first 4 games things looked good...Then came a 0-5 defeat at Spurs; THE 5-5 draw at home to Newcastle...and after 17 games, Mullery was axed.

IPSWICH MANAGER, Jim Magilton
Jim hails TV stars
Blues boss Jim Magilton hailed his players as magnificent after Town turned in a TV thriller to beat QPR 3-1 at Loftus Road.
Goals from Simon Walton, a penalty, and close range strikes from Jason De Vos and Dean Bowditch rounded off a superb display in front of the Sky TV cameras showing the game live.
"Every player was outstanding and I'm chuffed to bits for them," said Jim after he celebrated his first win as Blues' boss. "It was nice to play like that with the TV coverage as well.
Simon scores from the spot
"I have total belief in the players and knew they were capable of turning in a performance like that because I have seen them play like that on the training field.
"We passed the ball well all over the pitch and were outstanding for large chunks of the game and our play got our just rewards.
Then celebrates
"The win comes as a welcome relief obviously after the start we have had and we need to build on it over the coming weeks."
Although reluctant to pick out any player for individual praise Jim did add: "Gavin Williams was absolutely outstanding and Billy Clarke showed what he is all about.
"He has been waiting for his chance and showed that he is a terrific prospect for us
