The Subbuteo mob are absolutely rabid for teams, accessories etc etc - you will have no problem shifting items. If you have enough items you could take a table, or even share one with someone who wants to shift old programmes etc.
On the subject of programmes, I should highlight that "old" programmes are regarded as pre 1980. As many people have found out sadly most post 1980 programmes tend to end up in the great recycling bin in the sky. There's just so many of them 😢. Pre war items are extremely valuable. | | | |

Please note that the History Day has now been moved to the following day, Sunday 29th March, due to Loftus Road being selected to host the Women's FA National League Cup final. | | | |

Three talks taking place at the QPR History Day

At the QPR History Day, from 2pm onwards, there will be three QPR History talks;
o “Dave Sexton and the Fireflies – the 1975/6 QPR squad. Learning from legendary teams” Dr David Turner – Anglia Ruskin University
o “The Park Royal Football Ground – 1907 to 1915 – the story of the short-lived Archibald Leitch designed Great Western Railway/QPR stadium” Simon Inglis, author of the pioneering books “The Football Grounds of England and Wales” and “Engineering Archie – the story of Archibald Leitch, Football Ground designer”.

Admission to the three talks will be on a “pay what you can basis”. All of the speakers have very kindly agreed to waive their usual speaker fees to enable all donations to go to the QPR Community Trust’s important “Extra Time” initiative.
