I’m trying to trace the date of a QPR win (don’t laugh).
It was a first day of the new season and Rangers were at home. We went 1-0 up, Arse then scored to head to a draw. It was 30 odd years ago.
Now, the reason I need your help, is that as my age has gone on, like some others, my mind has slowly started to ‘grey out’, leaving me ‘blanks’ in my recall.
And here’s the real kicker. Dad died, Then 8 months ago mum died.
And I’m left with part memory of the match as it was my son’s birthday. And I don’t know the date. Feckin grey cells.
If anyone can help me, I can make sure I can slowly fill the gaps in my memory, please? Best Dave

It was the first game of the 90/91 season with Gerry Francis in charge for the first time. They scored literally with the last kick of the game. Seaman’s first game for them as well.

There were two 1-1 draws at home to Arsenal in the 93/94 season and 95/96 seasons, but 27/4/94 and 1/3/96.
But yes everyone is right the 1 - 1 draw at Highbury was first game of a new season.
Was at the game on the terraces with a mate and remember when we scored some massive neanderthal man went ballistic behind and i got slammed into one of the steel girders that made up the terrace dividers.
Literally almost succumbed that day, but i didnt care, we were humiliating Arsenal, think they were champions the season before.
Blooming Paul Merson scored in Bobby Zamora time sadly.

My first game for us was also against Arsenal but it was a 1-0 defeat at Highbury in November 1984!
My first away game (at least the first one I recall) was at Highbury on 2nd October 1976. Phil Parkes got injured so Dave Webb went in goal and then punched the ball into his own net. Arsenal 3-2 QPR.

Graham was in charge, miserable bastard. Honestly people complain about Arteta, Graham was far worse. They had just won the thing the season before, losing only once and we came within minutes of beating them. Did he praise us in his post-match comment? Did he hell. Said something like ‘ I hate the opening day of the season, every club in the league thinks they can win it on the first day.’ Miserable sod.

Reading the excellent Venables book by Francis Peacock, when Graham was Millwall manager he was in contention for the QPR job when TV left - what might have been...

Ah yeah, agree he was a great manager. Just not a great man. Unnecessarily disingenuous imo
