Or, if they are successful in the play-off final, a true derby against Brentford - should be fun (from wiki):
However, the bad feeling between the clubs runs deeper than locality. In 1967, QPR attempted a takeover of Brentford, which would have resulted in QPR moving into Griffin Park and Brentford F.C. ceasing to exist. The story infamously broke in the London press but Brentford supporters rallied to save their club. Since then, relations between the clubs have been frosty. The rivalry resumed in 2001 and continued for several seasons until Rangers were promoted. During this time, the rivalry was intensified by Brentford player Martin Rowlands leaving to join QPR. He then went on to kiss his badge on several occasions in front of the Brentford support when the two sides met in 2003 at Loftus Road. Throughout the game and at full-time, Rowlands and several other QPR players constantly goaded the away fans. No action was ever taken.
The most recent meeting between Brentford and Queens Park Rangers was in 2004.
^^Yes, but I wonder if it's that simple? So much of the game at the very top is about confidence, and I wonder what will happen if they lose a couple early next season - will they start to believe that invincible aura surrounding SAF has gone with him?

That's more like it! Glad we didn't put you off with our rather rough and ready 'welcome'. Mind you, after that first post I had you marked as a probable spammer!
Anyway welcome to the forum, get comfortable and get posting.
Say 'allo to 'Arry for us! Hope he gets you back up next year...
Thanks, although I can imagine there are some who would prefer to be tagged as a spammer rather than a QPR fan at the moment
