Game at Loftus Road on some day and at some time!

Well that resolves that massive danger.

Worth a new thread for the final surely

Great play, undermined by sh*t music.

Hello Ken.

 

[Jay Bee]

Only f***ing time your get to see the Gtec as league not happening anytime soon

Yep, Bees v QPR at the Gtech only happened in lockdown, and that was strictly the privilege of Mark Warburton and 200 Bees hangers on

 

[randello]

Confirmed it will be at Loftus Rd, so they will have to wait until another cup tie before they get their visit.

 

[alikat]

Does anyone have any idea when the final is likely to take place or, if not, when the date might be announced?

 

[damsgard.szn]

would be a good game to go to tbh, not really been to many cup games for the u21s, do tickets work the same way?

The QPR Development social media account said "no idea" but also "I'd guess about 2 weeks"
How much time was there between rounds for the Blackburn final two (?) years ago?

12 days.

Before the pc squad bash me - we have been friends since we were 6 - anyway my qpr friend has been all over this match - it seems to me that the rangers boys see this as a "big day out" .... just shows how the times have changed!

Where were they when we tonked them 5-1 a couple of weeks ago.

 

[JANORAK]

Are they putting different players in the cup team?

 

[Ace Face]

Great game to go to. ??

Massive day out.

I expect the crowd to be in excess of 3,000

Yes. You present them at the turnstile and they enable you access to the stadium.

 

[GABS]

The Ice Cream van man in Syon Park, on seeing my bees badge yesterday, brought up the topic of this game. He must be one of em ?

 

[ruislip bee]

Yep one of them mentioned it to me too in our local pub Friday night.

 

[hobbsy]

Aww bless

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Yep one of them mentioned it to me too in our local pub Friday night.

How far have they fallen.

 

[TW3Bee]

They will still try and tell everyone that Chelsea is the real rivalry for them.

 

[rebus]

They will still try and tell everyone that Chelsea is the real rivalry for them.

Yes, QPR don’t care at all by the looks of it. I love it. “You’re just a pre-season friendly team” was the old saying to us by them back in the day.

 

[smiffy superbee]

They will still try and tell everyone that Chelsea is the real rivalry for them.

Unfortunately, they are correct! ..... they met 56 times in the top division since 1967.
...... although, we currently have the opportunity to rectify that ..... 8 times (soon to be 10) and counting! .... COYB's

 

[JordanBEE]

I do wonder what the arrangements will be for this, from a few conversations yesterday it seems that there's going to be quite a few attending. Could easily be looking at over 500 or so...

Hello ken.

 

[Vid]

Do they have vomit bags in the seats like they have on airlines ?

 

[thomasBee]

I assume they'll open the away end... A lot of people fancy this

 

[JANORAK]

I assume they'll open the away end... A lot of people fancy this

Loftarse rd is easier to get to than the Gtech for some of us…

 

[Ace Face]

Expect a lot of interest in this. I really hope BFC are not persuaded by other parties, to not sell or publicise tickets for BFC fans.

 

[LP_Brentford]

Yep, having spoken to a few of those on the other side of the fence, sounds like QPR are right up for this too, should be a good attendance. (Not much else for them to get excited about at the min)

Looking forward to this.

He is. Have spoken to him in the past.

Number 4 looks pretty lively from that clip to make the second goal:

Who's that?

And yet, only six times in league the last 29 years. Their "rivalry" with Chelsea is as recent as their billing as a stable top flight team.....not very recent at all.

Ten years without even a one-off PL relegation campaign now, all the wihle Brentford and Fulham get pats on the back from neutrals for being good PL clubs. It must sting.

Josh Stephenson

Wow, only 17 too (having just Googled him), quite a prospect.

He's class ?

Surely QPR must be disqualified from this competition for having no Premier League players and not being a PL club

 

[TW3Bee]

Surely QPR must be disqualified from this competition for having no Premier League players and not being a PL club

Or a football club.

So all our previous games with Chelsea (10 1st division +4 FA Cup) dont count ?

 

[Brentford77]

Football was invented in 1992 don’t you know?

2021 for some people

horsham, you beat me to it, I was just going to add the 10 matches around WW2, to make us all feel a bit better
However even 10 (incl next year) + 10 (in the distant past), still leaves us a bit short..... although I'm quite determined,....... I doubt I'll be around if/when we get to 56!!!

On second thoughts (discounting the Top Division) perhaps I was wrong!

'cos my good friend Co-Pilot has a different view.

Brentford and Queens Park Rangers have faced each other 78 times in competitive matches. Brentford has won 30 of those encounters, while QPR has won 24, with the remaining 24 ending in draws.
(Perhaps WE were their main local rivals all along!!!)

I suspect that probably doesn't include 1896-1920.

 

[smiffy superbee]

rebus,...not sure .... .but I did request FROM 1889.
In any case, not a bad overall record ... and a far greater number of matches, Rangers v Bees, than Rangers v Chelsea!

 

[Idaho Bee]

Yes, QPR don’t care at all by the looks of it. I love it. “You’re just a pre-season friendly team” was the old saying to us by them back in the day.

And when they got promoted to Division 2 they reneged on the agreement and no longer played us in pre-season as they were too big. Not that I'm bitter or anything

 

[vcmazz]

Hello. What's going on here then? Why have we got to play East Brentford?

 

[Idaho Bee]

I'd definitely be up for going out of my way to attend this, just for old times sake.

I dont think QPR actually played a competitive fixture against Chelsea prior to the 1968/69 season.So main rivals now,but definitely Brentford prior to that.
Rivalry is for life not just half a century.?

 

[horshambees]

Need to know when its being played first.
I keep checking.
