Kerrins was right.

[Steve Russell]

The fog was patchy in the local area, outside the ground was
ok but inside

I don't think that blast of Pyrotechnics before the teams came out
helped the situation Yellow ball?

It was until the 78th minute that I could see the whole
pitch.

We seemed to be the better side in the 1st half, didn't get going after
the break.

It would have been nice to have at least seen our goals.

[Kerrins]

It was nailed on that we would not field our strongest possible team (why should we be any different from
other Premier and Championship clubs ) although it was a bit stronger line up than I expected.

Leicester of course made changes as well. Sad but well done to a large contingent of our fans for turning up.

Full team and full steam ahead for the league fixture at Plymouth. Go R's

There were times when the fog was so thick, I couldn't see anything in the stand opposite.

Alan Barnes has just reminded me that the previous worst fog conditions
he remembers was on 11th December 1964 (Friday Night is Rangers Night)
v Barnsley at Loftus Road.

I stood on the half-way line, we won 3-2, Brian Bedford scored a hat-trick,
attendance: 3,364...

.....attendance: 3,364...

We took more than that to Leicester!

[Kerrins]

Yes like Alan Barnes I was there for that Friday night match at Loftus Road against Barnsley.
Those were the (foggy) Days
