Memories of QPR at home

Remember a couple of wins in the late 70's at roker park ,standing in the paddocks,Tommy Docherty was in charge for qpr in his second spell as manager in one of them ,we won one 1-0 and the other 3-0 ,the 1-0 was around april a really warm day ,they had a big centre half called,Bob Hazell playing for them ,and a Young Glenn Roeder and Clive Allen just breaking into the team,Tommy Docherty got sacked not long after and that gave a certain young Terry Venables is chance.

certain he was the lad who knocked the cup over & not Stan Bowles who always claimed it was
 


We weren’t skint though. Quinn was not that far from the end and Dichio was a bit crap. We could certainly have used Bridges in our squad. Maybe even sold Phillips for daft money a couple of years after promotion (didn’t Villa bid £30 million or something daft?).

Had on though, these days I always hear “the FA Cup should be the final domestic game of the season, like it always was”. What happened in 1973? Was it because we were Division 2 so had extra games? Or a fixture backlog?
Fixture backlog due to the FA Cup.
