By chance I recently bought this semi-rare programme of an abandoned QPR game from the 60s. It plopped thru the door only Thursday. And then Friday I heard Saturday’s game was called off. Spooky.
Your starter for ten is why was the game against Walsall abandoned and what are the tenuous links to a flying pig and a stranded kangaroo?
Ps: Brain of Barlby Rd - you keep out of this!

If you watched that lot every game at home and about 50% of away games you wouldn't need to ask that question. Ray Brady, Pat Brady, Terry McQuade, George McLeod, Vic Mobley, Andy Malcolm, Frank Smith and company just avoided relegation that year. The following year the juniors took over and you could see the difference between the two teams then. |
Well, that is not how I saw it......we ended up mid table that season and nowhere near relegation. The following year we ended up in 14th position, one place above the 1963/64 season so not sure what you are thinking about.
As for the players......The likes of Peter Angell played many many games(100's) for the Rangers, perhaps a legend, Bedford was scoring for fun in that era, Mike Keen a great captain and footballer was in the side for many a year and, of course, led us to victory at Wembley, Johnny Collins an inside forward with good skills who was another who played many games for the 1st Team, the Brady brothers were no slouches either.

I recall more recently, maybe 98/99 season? Due to play at LR against Reading one midweek evening, there was like a localised monsoon in the Bush around 7pm, pitch got totally saturated and the match was called off.
Must admit I can't recall any other games since then called off at such short notice. |  |

I seem to remember Crewe away around 2002 or 2093 being called off at short notice (I was nearly there in the car when news filtered through on the radio) | | | |

Derby away '76(?) Well on our way in the football special, when stopped and brought back to London. We then boarded a train to Watford and supported Torquay United for the afternoon. A couple of other posters on here also made a nuisance of themselves that day. | |

This is all very well, but the big question for me is - Was El Sombrero "Mexican Room' on Kensington High Street any good? |  |

I’m sure I’ve read it mentioned in passing in anecdotes from both Bowie and Malcolm McClaren though I guess they would have been frequenting it later than ‘64. | | | |

No 7 Seth, is that the fella who used to own the Barbers with his dad and brother on the Uxbridge Rd opposite the Adelaide? |
Yes. I visited him to get my haircuts for over 20 years. Was always good to have a chat with him about the the latest form of the R's. |  | | |
