10 things...
1 Rangers are actually next to Hammersmith Park in London W12. Queens Park is miles away in Kensal Rise. Although you should know, they've moved about helluva A-Z lot.
2 QPR settled in Loftus Road eventually but had a spell or two at White City. It was built a century ago for the Olympics - will they give it another go next time around?
3 That iconic BBC Television Centre is also close by. There ain't much TV coverage these days and historically, is half a world away down South Africa road.
4 Some kids from up the school end had to watch home games on their own. Still, they could visit Daddy in nearby Wormwood Scrubs on a Sunday and tell him all 'baht it.
5 Who is the shortest odd R's manager out - Magnall, Taylor, Stock, Docherty, Allen or Jago? Clue - he hadn't actually got a clue about medicine either.
6 Rangers won the League Cup in 1967, beating Albion 3-2. No, the midlands version.
7 QPR once had a plastic pitch, which was a bit of a novelty rip-off even by Shepherds Bush market standards. Oi, Del?
8 Venables told fans over the PA, he would take 'em into Europe. Within a month he joined Barcelona - fact Rodney.
9 Les Ferdinand, a six million man but incredibly bionic?
10 Superhoops girls alternatively prefer it horizontal.
