Parked up, popped into the Conny to use the toilets, didnt recognise anyone in the pub from when I used to go.
Walked down South Africa Road, saw some old faces which was nice.
Then around to the Lower Loft to take up our seats.
He was very excited and was very attentive the first half. The expected “I’m bored” after 10 minutes never materialised. He clapped when everyone else clapped. He watched the ball, his favourite player was Eze, he was so happy when we scored.
2nd half as it got colder and darker and longer then he started to wain, much like the team! He didn’t see the winning goal as he was watching videos on my phone by then.
On the way back to the car he was having fun chasing my shadows from the street lights. Popped into a shop for water and some sweets and when we got home he wanted to keep his QPR replica top on.
You can keep your FIFA playing, acca/Ladbrokes lads, round your mates with beer & pizza to watch the next Champions League match day 3 on the tele, mock shock, tweeting like you know everything, shouting for the managers head every game, 21st century fan.
Today, for me, is what football is about.

Great stuff. 100% agree its what football and QPR are about. No apologies from me about the result. My 11 year old lad has never seen us lose yet in a live game. Can he even call himself a QPR fan yet?..lol |  |

Took my 6 year old today, that's now two 2-1 losses and a 1-1. Only so much they can take at that age. |  |

Stick with it. They'll thankyou/hate you for it but its worth it in the long run. What other team are they going to support? | |

I think that's lovely. It is what it's all about.
My youngest waited 13 games for his first win, hated it and was derided in the playground for it, but now, at 14, wears it as a badge of honour. We and this are so much more. COYRS! | | | |

It probably helped that we kicked towards the loft in the 1st half.I personally hate it when it happens as we can sometimes build up some momentum kicking towards the loft in the 2nd half. |  | | |

Hopefully he’ll stick around, I always remember at 8 years old walking up from the steps in Ellerslie seeing the blue and white hoops on a green Astro turf field and was transfixed.
Kids watching tv on phone screens out and about Is my pet hate, I’ve seen some strollers with built in phone holders that drop down so the kid can watch tv on an iPhone |  | | |

Took my 19 year old boy today, he goes to around 4 games a season with me and always a festive game.
Today was very difficult as to lose having been one nil up and clearly the better side is very hard to take.
But he was with me when we got hammered at Brighton and our support at the end sang "let's pretend we scored a goal"
And when we played the Huddersfield at home under Jimmy Floyd when most of the players strolled around and clearly did not give a f-------------uck! (Nakhi was playing for them that day)
On the upside..........................
We were recently at Derby on the coldest of days and the atmosphere in the away end was so good
It is the hope that kills you but the hope here is that we did and have played some lovely football at times this season and once the disappointment of today subsides, I am happier with this set up than I have been for some time. Lots of players had a good game today and there is no way we will go down.
That is why we keep coming back and a quick mention to the Hull Player who came off in tears with what looked like a bad injury - puts it all in perspective
Happy New year - everyone! | | | |

We spoke outside the main entrance. I didn't know you but I was with Dawn and Paul, when you walked off I was told you were Juzzie who used to post online a few years ago. | | | |

Oh wow! Great to meet you, as it were.
Yeah, i think I was more active on the old official message board back then. I read a lot on here but post now and then, not as often as I used to. My two little ‘uns keep me busy!
Gutted about the result of course but it was all about the day, nothing can take that away.
He wants to come again but it’s not easy as so many things have to fall in place due to my partners weekend work commitments and other things that get done on a Saturday but I think this could be the start of something, we’ll see :) [Post edited 29 Dec 2019 23:34]

My eldest's first game was a friendly v Celtic 2002 (lost 3-7) and then didn't see us win for over three seasons (maybe i chose the wrong games?!), he's been going over 15 years now and loves every minute win,lose or draw. Often asks why I inflicted QPR on him though :) | | | |

We both went again today. Missed the first goal as he had to go to the toilet but what a treat thereafter. He watched the whole 90 mins and really got into it the more the game went on. Scoring six goals helps though now I have to explain that doesn’t happen every game. | | | |
