Should have been going, accidentally said yes to a birthday party back home that weekend. This season is jinxed for me I'm sure.

I'm not gonna count on it, its a nightmare to get to isn't it.

Have you booked coach travel already?

I'm really interested to see what their reaction to Dougie will be like.

I may have a spare ticket for this and will certainly be having a beer close to the ground before the game.

Doing a London weekend on this one. Two couples, and we'll be meeting daughter and partner who live in London. Tate visit. One man, Two Guvners organised, along with meal at Moro on sat night. Every possibility we'll be up for a pre-match beer...

Where and when?

I'll be there too. I go to most of the games in London, but, having missed QPR last season, I don't think I've seen us win in the league since West Ham early the previous season (2010/11). This season, it's been Millwall, Brighton and Peterborough; surely, I'm due a win? :roll:

In reality, I'll witness the "You're getting sacked in the morning" reaction to Dougie as Murray completes his hat-trick just before half-time. Ho hum.

As they got Holloway and continued progress as against relegation and continued sheep fondling misery.. I'd guess Palacites may be somewhat less scorned and wounded... DF was also a Palace legend so probably has a residual level of goodwill on that basis..
Are we in League 2 yet - Three seasons and we'll be away to Chesham

I live a couple of stops away in Sydenham, so I'll definitely be going.

I'll even host you pre match if you don't get a better offer, Bish!

Would love to catch up with various links but we've got a gig that night. I would say "unfortunately" except it's our best-paid gig yet, it's underwriting our studio rent for the year... So I shan't be passing that up for the chance to watch us get bummed or at best grind out a flukey 0-0. (Note theoretical confidence that we could keep an away clean sheet in the league for the second time since 17 Feb 2010.)

Apols for interjecting here but we are torn between dogs abuse and simply supporting our own team. You are right with the residual level of goodwill, but conversely, this means for many, he will get the dogs abuse through the nature of his departure and lack of respect he showed in the following interviews. I am not sure how it is going to pan out.
