I just posted the following on the first game thread.

07 Mar 1959 Queens Park Rangers v Newport County W 4-2 League Division Three

Probably won't be the earliest but it should be a good marker for others to beat.

Slightly earlier for me...Crystal Palace in I think 1957. I think it was the first home game of that season. I know there are people on here whose first game was before that though.

Hi Colin, thought I'd find the exact date for you but hit immediate problems - nothing in 1957.

1956-57 season QPR played Palace twice over Christmas.
25 Dec 1956 Crystal Palace v Queens Park Rangers L 2-1 Division Three (South)
26 Dec 1956 Queens Park Rangers v Crystal Palace W 4-2 Division Three (South)

1957-58 they played Palace twice over Easter towards end of season.
16 Apr 1958 Crystal Palace v Queens Park Rangers W 2-3 Division Three (South)
19 Apr 1958 Queens Park Rangers v Crystal Palace W 4-2 Division Three (South)

1958-59 they didn't play Palace at all.

Home game against Palace was third one in 1955. Could it be that one?
05 Sep 1955 Queens Park Rangers v Crystal Palace L 0-3 Division Three (South)

Yup, I've checked it. As stated in the other earliest match thread it was an easy 3-0 early season home game, but not Palace, it was Millwall.

Leyton Orient away 11 am. Saying that maybe it was midday, but with a hangover it felt like 11 am

If only we'd had Google Timeline in 1957 then everyone would know exactly what game they were at.

There was a Boxing Day home game in 1979 v Orient that would’ve kicked off at 11 o clock but was postponed at the last minute. Probably the one you’re thinking of. I remember walking down the Uxbridge Road toward the ground and an older QPR supporter I vaguely knew walking towards me obviously still festively trashed blurted out a drunken piss off. Merry fcuking Xmas to you and all I thought. Then after a few strides more I realised he’d said It’s off.

My memory''s buggered. Looking at the fixtures, I think the game when I was a bit the worse for wear on the tube must have been Orient away 1971. Not a Boxing Day but close - December 27th. A 2-0 defeat.

Similar thread a few years back. I reckon Ron Gould wins if he posts, but I also think Mr Hendrix goes earlier than what’s posted so far.

My first QPR game I was creeping about in a transvestite bar, New Street station Birmingham about 9am.
I have been told I didn't score...

It must have been a Baseball Ground thing. Many, many years ago one of the tabloids had a piece concerning four Toon Army who’d got a fixture mixed up and had driven down to Derby when the game was actually at St James’ Park. Big picture of four glum middle aged men decked out like Christmas Trees.

I remember that awful game, rumour was going round about the team, Rodney et al, being seen enjoying a busy Christmas drinks session the previous evening. They certainly played like that.

It was only a few years ago when the game had been moved to a Monday night. I had bought my ticket well in advance and as we didn't have a game on the Saturday I assumed that it was the following Monday. I finished work in Abingdon at 4pm and drove a couple of hours to Pride Park and found a terrific parking spot just opposite Frankie & Benny's. Not many people about but it was only around 6pm so I thought I would give DW a call and tell him about the great parking spot I had found. DW:"So where are you know?" Me: "At the ground" DW: "No, seriously where are you?" Me: "I am at the ground" DW:" You DO know the game is next Monday?" Me: "I do now, see you next week"
