Another History Day, Memorabilia Fair and Subbuteo tournament will be held in March after the success of the March 2025 and April 2024 events.
The Memorabilia Fair will be held from 10.30am to 1.30pm in the Forever R's Bar in the Lower Loftus Stand. The Subbuteo tournament will be in the same stand in the Sensory Room from 9.30am to 2.30pm.
Subbuteo was invented by Rangers fan Peter Adolph and his son Mark will be attending to present a trophy to the tournament winner and to also sign copies of his book, "Growing up with Subbuteo". Anyone wishing to participate in the tournament should email Victor Jones of the Harrow Hawks Subbuteo Club at harrowsubbuteo@hotmail.com
The much acclaimed new "Hoops Through History" QPR kits book will also be on sale. Authors John Devlin and QPR club historian Chris Guy will be signing copies of the book. John and Chris appeared on BBC Radio London's Robert Elms show on 20th December. This can be listened to here at approximately 2 hours 15 minutes into the show;
Lifelong Rangers fan Ray Eaton with his new book, "50 Unusual and Memorable QPR Matches – Volume 2" will also be attending, as will Francis Peacock and a number of other authors and memorabilia dealers.
Rangers fans looking to take a table at the fair to sell any collections should email details of what they wish to sell to community@qpr.co.uk.
Three of the club's very popular stadium tours will also be taking place during the course of the day.
More details on the fair will be publicised in the coming months.
Match day hospitality was already sold out for the Rs v Wrexham match on 24th January several weeks ago. You can be sure that will be Americans.
I haven't watched any of the other TV series on other clubs BUT I did like the Wrexham TV series. And the away day there in September was probably the best for the Rs this season.
Wrexham have canny, charasmatic owners with decent, experienced people advising them. If they are smart enough to get government money then good for them. We would be delighted if it was Rangers getting money to develop Loftus Road. And the Racecourse ground is the oldest surviving international stadium - I don't have a problem with it.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback - it took a huge amount of effort to organise the event but it's really worthwhile when people enjoy it.
Nearly 200 people came through the door. Michael Wale had a great time, as did Rangers fan Mark Adolph the son of Subbuteo inventor Peter Adolph and - like his Dad - an Rs fan.
There were some terrific items on sale, including a 1982 FA Cup final track suit top.

Some of the sellers will have electronic card readers but many won't so do please bring some cash with you.
I don't think he's been to Loftus Road since the pandemic. He's ok - he's put in a few appearances at the Rock n Roll Public Library. It's well worth a visit - it's been extended until 7pm on Saturday 22 March.
The QPR History Day is this coming Saturday starting at 10.30am - not Sunday
Mick Perrin produced the programme booklet in 1987. He planned to do an update and also one for away matches but they didn't happen due to him having a young family at the time.
