Left at Half time. We were poor. After the Shepherd & Flock was taken over by Sheff Urd fans, could not sit and listen to then any longer SAR A block.
Positive was I got back to the pub early, which after the two games this week was welcome.
On another side note left Shepherd & Flock and went to The Swakely, the old O'Donahues. Aint been in there since we won the league against Leeds. On matchdays they reduce the Guinness by £2. £4.20. Pub is a shit hole pub but two quid off a Guinness I can live with the run down surroundings and there was loads of space
Been a QPR fan for 52 years and you do become numb to it.
As I am no longer a season ticket holder, so I no longer get so wrapped up in it and can see a result like Tuesday night and just turn the tv over after the 3rd goal went in and as the old Why Don't You tv programme advised went and did something more interesting instead, and not give it any more thought other than a quick shout of B*llocks at the tv.
Will be there tomorrow with my pal and if we are 3 nil down at half-time, then we shall head back to The Shepherd & Flock and have another beer or five, or just sod off home.
There is always another day, and just every now and then you get a 5-5 v Newcastle, a comeback at Port Vale, Stuffing Palace 6-0 to avoid relegation, Beating Chelsea 6-0, Man Ure on New Years Day, Glorious days at Hillsborough and Wembley, makes it all worth those horrible bad days.
There was a lot of disorder in the ground as gates were forced open between the away end and the East Terrace stand. Stewards were hopeless and no Police around to stop the inevitable brawl.
I doff my cap to all those travelling to Hull. Its a Long trip, for an early kick off, with travel disruption.
I went on our first visit to the new stadium - the day of the 'town full of bombers' chants after the 7/7 terrorist attacks. Away fans bus back to the station got attacked and we had a punch up at the station, so I am in no rush to go back there.
Safe trip all and fingers crossed for an enjoyable game and 3 points....but more likely a dull game in awful weather and a long trip home with nil points
Not sure a boat holds 400 people. Two boats maybe. Hope all those that have booked get a great and safe trip. View of London from the river is a great sight.
Edit - ignore my scaremongering. Just a quick check online says boats can hold 300 to 550 people. Enjoy the trip.
I think (my view only) a lot of the abuse is generated from people who are betting addicts and are relying on results , players to score for their multi bets to come in, and when teams players don't score, perform, get yellow / red cards they lose sight of reality and become dicks by sending vile threats to a player, his wife and kids
Did the same thing a few years ago for our home game against Charlton. Me and a couple of other SE London QPR went on the boat trip with the Charlton B-Mob boys.
Had Tutenskamum band playing ska music on the trip. Great booze, boat had to stop at Westminster to take on more beer.
If the weather is good it is a great day out. Not sure a Wet Friday night in February will be that enjoyable. Hope it is not too choppy for you and you all have a great time and arrive safely
There is one reasonable pub in Woolwich - The Dial Arch, not too far from the Lizzie line station entrance. 5 min stroll to the mainline station for the train to Charlton
3 of us drinking with the Charlton boys before the game. That may continue after the game dependent on the result
Councils used to have budgets to undertake preventative action on roads. The road gangs used to go round the streets tarring the joints in the road surfaces during the summer months, so when the weather got worse, ice, water and salt could not work there way into gaps that would otherwise grow and grow into pot holes and require a PROPER repair.
There is now a specialised JCB that has all the attachments incorporated into it to undertake a proper repair of potholes easily and quickly.
Apparently there is 230,000 miles of road in the UK and probably 6 potholes for every 50 metres of road. That is a national road network that looks like a huge slice of Swiss cheese
FYI - Anchor & Hope on the river is temporarily closed. The Antigalican pub by the train station is closed down. The only pub near the ground that I would recommend is the Rose of Denmark which is left and left again out the train station and a bit of a walk.
The Royal Oak on the other side of the ground is definitely a HOME only pub
FYI - Not much in the way of watering holes near the ground now days with a few old pubs now closed. Would suggest those attending to head to Blackheath or Greenwich before the game and jumping on the train to Charlton.
The Pilot near the O2 is also a good shout if coming by the Jubilee line, it is a short bus trip to Charlton or a lengthy walk from there
As all my family on my mums side came out of Bermondsey they all supported Millwall and my first ever game I attended with my Grandad (probably around the age of 4) was at The Den
However, my cousin liked the QPR kit and in 1974 we had the makings of a great team, roll on 75/76 season - Bowles, Francis, Thomas etc and that was it....a life sentence of supporting QPR was handed down to me.
Funny enough my turncoat cousin is back supporting Wall. Not a bad thing as he has tickets for the Executive boxes and I will be sitting on my hands in their later in the season, surrounded by the rest of the Wall family massive.
Now all my wife's family are from Canning Town and staunch West Ham. The wedding was interesting when someone thought playing 'Bubbles' was a good idea.
