So far, the club’s won three of its nine home matches and four of its away matches. Forward Nahki Wells has landed the distinction of becoming one of the league’s joint top five goal scorers, with eight goals to his name.

QPR Fixtures

Queens Park Rangers is doing quite well in the English Football League Championship, though there are still quite a few important matches to be played. One of the most eagerly anticipated matches is the one against Fulham, which is scheduled for 22 November and will have Fulham as the home team. The reason this particular match is one to watch is because Fulham is one of the club’s biggest rivals. The two will face each other again on 21 March next year. Another key rival is Brentford, which Queens Park Rangers will face for a second time on 11 January. The two have already played at Queens Park Rangers’ home stadium, with Brentford winning 3-1.

QPR Stadium

The home ground for Queens Park Rangers is Loftus Road, a grass-pitch stadium that was constructed back in 1904. Located in Shepherd’s Bush, it’s an all-seating stadium with a maximum capacity of 18,439 and measurements of 112 by 72 yards. In June, the stadium’s naming rights were formally handed over to the Kiyan Prince Foundation, a charity set up in honour of the Queens Park Rangers youth player Kiyan Prince, who was fatally stabbed at just 15 years old in 2006. Following on from this, the stadium is commonly known as the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

Queens Park Rangers started using this stadium as its home ground in 1963. Prior to this, the club used no fewer than 15 different venues throughout London as its base. There have been plans to construct a new stadium, tentatively called New Queens Park, with a bigger capacity, however nothing has come to fruition as of yet. It’s also been proposed that instead of constructing an entirely new stadium, the existing Loftus Road stadium could be expanded to cope with the increasing demand for watching the club’s matches.
