On the pitch Rangers started with Jeanne, Morrow and Ready back in the team in place of Gallen, Rose and Rowland. Rangers started well and almost went ahead when George Kulscar headed wide from a corner. Then paul Murrays free kick was met by Ipswich old Boy Chris Kiwomya who headed Rangers into the lead. The 2000 travelling army went crazy with songs including, "We're shit but we're beating you" and the Graham Rix song to the 250 school children walking around the pitch. The lead didn't last though as poor defending led to David Johnson heading home. Rangers got back into the game and Ian Baraclough almost put us ahead but his shot was well saved by Richard Wright. The second half began with a 15 minutue rendetion of Gerry Francis Blue and White army as Rangers looked comftable and Ipswich appeared to run out of ideas. The ref then gave a terrible decison (one of many) as a free kick was given for what seemed a good tackle by Breacker. Scowcroft scored from the free kick and the game slipped away from Rangers. Another set piece saw Miklosko fumble and Chris Holland fire home. Rangers then appeared to lose heart but missed a few chances, Dowie went close but a bad referee decsion cost Rangers badly. Man of the Match: Danny Maddix

A
sell out crowd saw QPR battle well but again fail to collect any
points from an away game. Around 400 QPR were locked out after a
ticket shambles by both clubs.
