That season broke me and I rarely go to matches now.
Having supported QPR since 1978 and gone to matches very regularly since 1986 (I was there for the final that never was), I chose the 2022/23 season for my first ever season ticket. I remember a great Friday night down the Crown & Sceptre after we beat Reading to go top in October, but after that it was the stuff of nightmares - and I had to miss the one home win in the second half of the season, against Watford.
Our younger son, who also had his first (and probably last) season ticket that year, still goes to a lot of home matches and he was also at Bristol City and will be at Boro next month. Fair play to him but that season did for me. It was the most miserable season even though, to quote Blackadder, it was up against some pretty stiff competition.
I still don't dare mention the Mother's Day card incident in 2000 when, after a session in The Crown in Romford on a Saturday, I forgot to buy a card from the corner shop on my drunken way home, which I'd promised myself I'd do when I passed it several hours earlier.
She didn't get anything for the car either, but I don't that is what provoked what happened the next morning.
I was there, sat next to four Millwall fans in the Ellerslie Road stand - no idea why there were there but they behaved ok during the match.
When we won the penalty I told my mate we shouldn't celebrate if we scored. He agreed with me. Wilson buried it past Keller and we went absolutely mental.
A win tonight, with a new squad bedding in and so many other teams drawing matches, would be fantastic. However, are we allowed nice things, even if it's just a few days in the top 6?
I loved all of those seasons but even then we had some terrible results, some bad runs and some dreadful results.
In 1982/83 we lost 3 of 4 games over the Christmas period including 0-4 at Wolves and a home defeat to Chelsea. In 1993/94 we won 2 of our last 10 matches and we started 1994/95 with 1 win in 11. Then again, we were fairly consistent between April and October 1994!
