Has anyone ever researched where all our pre-Loftus Road stadiums were? That would make an interesting tour - if no-ones done it, might have a go myself. I found myself in Queen's Park for the first time in my life this year and felt like a Muslim on Hajj.

Not you? Well, some-one did. I remember in particular the access road to the block of flats/offices and thinking how incongruous it was that that was a railway line. It was a time when we were doing a lot of threads on abandoned tube stations and underground London rivers. Nice stuff!

I also remember some-one identifying St Quintin Avenue when I queried the location of Rangers' home on Latimer Road, as nominated on Wiki.
