RIP both of these QPR legends, TV was a good friend of my dad's - had some amazing talks with him especially before Euro 96 - and our Stanley - what can you say really - genius
Chelsea lost 4 - 0 to West Ham , 5 - 1 to Watford and here 6 -0 to QPR. John Hollins posing as manager - took over a good John Neal side and ruined it. Got Jerry Murphy on a free from Crystal Palace, was a washout. Pissed off Canoville...never gave Phil Priest a chance.
So 27k at this game. 4 days after Chelsea got 33k v Liverpool at home in fa cup live on tv. Was more Liverpool in away end than Qpr 4 days later. Was no thousands of Qpr in side seats this game. Was well over 20k Chelsea at this game Shed and Side seats. Should have been 10.000 Qpr not an away end over half empty. Was no trouble in the ground and in the seats so how many Qpr in seats. Not sire but they never showed themselves when they scored. I know Qpr got 15k for Liverpool the semi final at home only 23k the away game.
That really put a dent in United’s momentum,they were very poor after this and found it hard to get more than 2 goals in a lot of matches,definitely had a psychological effect…
Reckon if QPR played a European leg at Arsenal’s ground thesedays reckon QPR would pull a 30’000 to 40’000 crowd. Likely nearer or just over 40’000. Obviously, if it was something like QPR v Celtic/Man U/Dortmund/Tottenham/Real Madrid/Munchen/Rangers/Chelsea/West Ham/Leeds then it would be a fullhouse.
