We used to play the same team twice at Christmas & a different team twice at easter.
So, I would say it's happened quite a lot! |  | | |

It happened often when the FA Cup Replays were played the midweek straight after the initial tie. Off the top of my head (cos it’s one of my favourite nights at Loftus Road) in 1978 we beat West Ham 6-1 a few days after a 1-1 draw at Upton Park.
Up until the 1960s (or even the 1970s?) League games during the Xmas period would be against the same team home and away. In football generally an over indulgence of Christmas Spirit by the players was said to be the reason for some wildly contrasting scores between teams that would sometimes play the return fixture the very next day.
I’ve a memory of playing Ipswich twice over Easter in 1974 and losing both 1-0 which put paid to our ambitions of a first season in Europe.
Again from an Rs POV, not in the same week, but 10 years ago we had a 3 match test series against Sheffield United in a little over 3 weeks. Home in the league (D1-1), Away in the FA Cup (D1-1), and Home in the replay (L2-3). The Rs manager for all these games was the charismatic (cough) Paul Hart which is bizarre considering he only managed us for 5 games.
Anyway that’s taken up a bit of time. I’m buzzing for tomorrow and rambling at this point.
Cmon Yoo RRRRssss!!!!
Aah it seems the correct answer is norks!
Ps: couldn’t resist a dip into the chives - the ar-chives
1967:
26 Dec: Brighton H 3-0
27 Dec: Brighton A 2-2
1964
26 Dec Bristol Rov H 3-1
28 Dec Bristol Rov A 1-3
1963
26 Dec Bristol City A 0-3 *Abandoned HT
28 Dec Bristol City H 0-2
*Game rearranged
10 March Bristol City A L 1-2
Bristols Bristols Bristols. I can’t go on with this. Goodnight.

That was one week after playing Plymouth twice over Christmas.

For the record Xmas/New Year 1967/68
7 fixtures - 5 of them against teams beginning with P!
Derek Buxton and Bob Holness would elope on that stat alone.
Btw: I met a Preston fan a few years ago who went to both those games. After all these years he still remembered the Rs fans and even the matchday programme being well cocky before the Cup game. We thought we only had to turn up. QPR eh. | | | |

I swear we played Burnley about 9 times in a row about six years ago and it delivered one goal.
Who was that massive Danish keeper they had? |  | | |

Similar, I went to both games and met a Preston fan either last year or the one before who’d attended both. Great memories. |  | | |

Cup replay, but the floodlights failed in the first half, or maybe even before KO?

I enjoyed that one, too. Pop Robson scored first, then we slaughtered them. | | | |

Adding to the trivia question. When was the last time we faced the same centre forward in consecutive away games playing against two different clubs? Benick Afobe player for Stoke against us last week and is now on loan at Bristol City. | |
