1929–30 Queens Park Rangers F.C. season

The 1929–30 Queens Park Rangers season was the club's 39th season of existence and their 10th season in the Football League Third Division. QPR finished 3rd in the league, and were eliminated in the third round of the 1929–30 FA Cup.

Season summary Striker George Goddard's 37 goals won the golden boot in the league and also set a QPR and league record. During the campaign, the FA ordered the closure of Loftus Road for two weeks as a result of crowd trouble and had to play outside a six-mile radius. So on 1 March, the League Division 3 match against Coventry City was played at Highbury
