Support Hendon on Non League Day
We received the following from the Hendon Football Club Supporters Trust and urge anyone in the area to pop along and support this fixture :
I am contacting you on behalf of Hendon Football Club Supporters Trust where I am a member of the board. We have now been sole owners of Hendon Football Club, of the Ryman League Premier Division, for just over a year now and are working hard to ensure a long term future for the club.
You may be aware that the first weekend of September has been set aside as ‘Non League Day’ where by many Non League clubs are running promotions of various kinds to try and attract fans of clubs affected by the International break and who may be looking for live football that weekend through the gate. Hendon were due to play Lewes on Saturday 3rd September but due to a clash with landlords Wembley FC’s FA Cup commitments our match has been put back to 3pm on Sunday 4th September.
OSC Secretary’s resignation sparks rumours of mass walkout
QPR1st understands Linda Favell has resigned from her position as Secretary of the Official Supporters Club. It is understood that other members of the OSC Committee have followed suit and stepped down.
The committee is currently made up of the following: Karen Hampshire, Zach Hampshire, Brian Ahearne, Linda Favell, Rebecca Favell, Brian Patterson, Simon Patterson and Ian Stenning. It’s unclear at this stage, who the others are who have resigned, but if true, we presume elections will be arranged by the Club to create a new committee.

The picture above shows Grace and her brother Teddy when they were mascots for our home game against Forest.
Neil Warnock stated in an interview :
“The QPR supporters are incredibly loyal and there is a real feeling of togetherness among them, which is something we are extremely proud of. The way in which they have thrown their financial support behind young Grace, particularly at such a difficult time of year, is fantastic. It says so much about the supporters we have. The players have all been made aware of Grace’s plight, and it has really touched them. They are in the process of organising their own donation, which will help Grace reach her goal.”
