On this day 7 years ago the R's were heading for promotion and a hard fought 2-2 draw away at Cardiff left us on the brink of a return to the top flight.
The R's were second best for most of the game and Adel Taarabt scored an equaliser in each half to grab us a share of the spoils against the team chasing us down.
His first was a beautiful curled effort after a corner ended up back with him on the right of the box. His second showed great technique to finish when the ball seemed stuck under his feet.
You can see some highlights (Admittedly blurry) below:
On this day 70 years ago on 24 April 1948 QPR defeated Newport County 1-0.
Ivor Powell scored the only goal of the game - his first of the season and one of only 2 he scored for QPR in an 11 year spell at the club that was interrupted by World War Two.
The win secured the Division 3 South title and were promoted to Division 2 for the first time in our history.
"Never happier than when he is in the thick of the battle". Is that code for a dirty player? Or is it the 1940's equivalent of Scowen's "little rat of a player"? I love these too. Thanks NWH.
On this day 5 years ago on 28 April 2013 QPR were relegated from the Premier League ending a brief 2 season spell in the top flight.
A drab 0-0 draw away at Reading saw both teams relegated with a whimper. It was probably one of the lowest quality and least competitive games in the history of the Premier League.
The match is of course infamous for the blase attitude of most of the QPR players after the game, most notably Jose Bosingwa laughing as he headed down the tunnel.
Not happy memories but still hard to believe they are half a decade ago today!
There was a lot that was wrong about the team that got relegated. It was not just Jose Bosingwa who made proper professionals like Clint Hill, Richard Dunne and Nedum Onuoha so made by their performances. There was no 'team spirit' in the dressing rooms from what i can gather...
On this day 36 years ago on 1st May 1982 QPR demolished Bolton 7-1 at Loftus Road.
The R's were in good form having reached the FA Cup Final and on this day goals from Gregory, Micklewhite, Flanagan (2), Fenwick (pen) Allen and Stainrod secured a memorable home win!
On this day 4 years ago on 03 May 2014 QPR defeated Barnsley 3-2 at Oakwell on the final day of the regular season.
It was of course not our final match of the season as we headed into the play offs with some confidence on the back of this win.
Charlie Austin opened the scoring (his 100th league goal at the time) and a Mvoto own goal put us 2-0 up at the break against the already relegated tykes.
Barnsley pulled one back before a superb solo goal from Yun Suk Young put us 2 ahead again, Yun beat a couple of defenders before rifling home - a memorable way to score his only QPR goal. A late Barnsley consolation could not spoil the day for the superhoops.
On this day 6 years ago on 06 May 2012 there were jubilant scenes at Loftus Road when Djibril Cisse scored a last gasp winner as QPR defeated Stoke 1-0.
Cisse converted Anton Ferdinand's near-post flick from Adel Taarabt's corner to sent the R's fans into raptures. John Motson could hardly contain himself in the commentary box shouting ''Ciiiiiisse! Ciiiiiisse!''.
It was to be the goal that effectively kept the hoops up because at the same time as Cisse was scoring West Brom scored 2 late goals against our relegation rivals Bolton to draw 2-2. With Bolton failing to win their last game the following week QPR staved off relegation. In true QPR style though we just went down the next season instead!
