For those of you that had forgotten about this competition our opponents at home in the 2nd round of the London Senior Cup will be QPR U21's who beat Corinthian Casuals 4-1 tonight.

The match will take place on Tuesday February 6th. The winners will be away to Cray Wanderers in the quarter finals.

Never thought I'd see the day we played my league side QPR, alright its not their 1st team in the FA Cup but the development side are top of their division so should be a decent game.
You never know, we might be seeing a future Stan Bowles. Now that would be something

Didn’t a certain QPR goalkeeper Peter Hucker play for us many years ago ?

Indeed he did.

1888 v 1882

And a certain T Burman was in their youth set up I believe.

Maybe TB can convince QPR to loan us a couple of good prospects until the end of the season.

Didn’t you play a game on the old Astro turf at Loftus Road, Parky?

A bit like back in the days of the 60's when our reserves played in the Metropolitan League, and regularly came up against some of the 'A' teams of the major London clubs.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham and West Ham spring to mind and there were players in those teams who made it to the Football League of the day.
So yes, there may be an opportunity to pick up a promising youngster on loan.

I will be listening in if the game is aired.

Go for it Darts. COYD

ps. Had a pause whilst completing my post, returned and just seen the game is being commentated on. Well done Will Bass.

I don't know who "Scillence" is, but it could be Finley Sillince.
I'm sure Park Life will post the team sheet

Albert Adomah is hardly what you would class as a developing player. He is 36 and has nearly 650 PL & EFL appearances to his name with the likes of Bristol City, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Cardiff. He also has 18 caps for Ghana.

I still claim it's Sillince and not Scillence going by what I assume is his Twitter page:

I did mate, I was a ringer for The Bank of England against some accountants
Great to play there but the plastic pitch was a joke and should never have been allowed. It was like playing on concrete.

Plastic pitches have moved on massively since those days - a completely different ball game now
