Season summary

[edit]

In the 1899–00 season QPR were eliminated in the Preliminary round of the F A Cup at Richmond on 24 September 1898. During the game Sammy Brooks was sent off, the referee was attacked and QPR were punished by the Football association by being banned from holding home games at Kensal Rise for 14 days (or any ground within a radius of seven miles of their own ground) and fined £4

As a result Qpr initially withdrew from all London FA competitions.though reneged and continued play in Football association Cups though having left the London league the previous season Qpr played in the West London League friendlies all season

QPR held a meeting at St Jude’s Institute to form a professional organisation.and the club ’was converted into a limited company via stock issue on 28th December, 1898 and adopted professionalism in May 1899.[1]
