QPR 0-1 Leeds United - Football - Championship - Leeds United

QPR 0-1 Leeds United

The last, and only previous time I’ve been to Loftus Road was Saturday April 27th 1974 (yep, I’ve been cryogenically frozen since then😂). I was lucky enough to be there in our Championship winning season to see Allan Clarke place the ball into the net in front on an ecstatic ‘school-end’ at Loftus Road and the result was pandemonium.

I remember the stands were also full of pockets of Leeds fans everywhere, all celebrating our title win, waving Leeds flags and getting into some trouble with the home fans at one point in what today is the South Africa Road stand. At the final whistle, seeing Billy and all the other legends display the trophy in front of us was a dream come true. A truly memorable and fantastic day and beautiful spring sunshine to-boot!

Well, I’m also lucky enough to ‘know someone who knows someone’ and I’ve got hold of a couple of tickets in the school-end again for tomorrow night. It’s me and the lad this time … a bit of reminiscing for me and no doubt a few 🍻.

What I’d give now for a similar result.
💛🤍💙

I was at that game also, we went on the pitch after the final whistle. Even rubbed shoulders with Don Revie on the pitch. Great memories.

Brilliant! Was hoping some others on here were also there😁👍 ...................................................................................... I remember we went down on the train from Leeds to Kings Cross on a packed train, and for some reason they made us walk to the tube line that took us to I think White City, and walked us from there to the ground.

Fantastic! Hope tomorrow will be as memorable.
I’ve never been to Loftus Road, I can only remember seeing QPR once, that was another memorable day winning 2-1 at home in the 5th round of the FAC back in ‘87.

I was also at that game - I had been to most home games that season (travelled down from Boro as I was at Teesside Poly)…but I couldn’t get in - there were I think 34,000 at that game, after struggling to get 20K to games. I had to stand on the hill and listen to the crowd for the whole game with many others.🙁

What a game that was in '87 - remember being in the Gelderd End and you could see a very large crowd were locked out.

Electric atmosphere, fabulous memory.

I went to the '74 game with 3 mates. Took over the local QPR fans pub with about 150 others.
Great to watch Sniffer pick up the ball in the centre circle and just make short work of finishing in front of us. Oh for his type now..........

Loftus Road aka Elland Road at least as far as the producers of Porridge are concerned.
