In the 1980/81 season the new School End double-decker stand was built, and Terry Venables was appointed manager on 14th October 1980.

In 1981/82 QPR became the first League club to replace grass with an artificial playing surface. QPR reached the FA Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur. The game went to a replay which QPR were unlucky to lose.

In 1982/83 Terry Venables took QPR back in to the First Division again, and Rangers lost only two of their home League matches.

In 1983/84 QPR completed their fourth and last stand and thus had seating on all four sides of the ground. QPR finished fifth in their first season back in Division One.

In 1984/85 Terry Venables left to join Barcelona. Alan Mullery was manager until December. Frank Sibley became caretaker manager for the rest of the season. QPR had again qualified for the UEFA Cup competition and went through to the Second Round. In July 1985 Jim Smith became QPR's new manager.

In May 1987, Jim Gregory ended his record 22-year Chairmanship of QPR and became Life President. David Bulstrode became Chairman of the club. Over £700,000 was spent on new players in a major rebuilding of the team.

In 1987/88 QPR finished fifth in the First Division, having for some months been top of the table. In April the artificial playing surface was removed after seven seasons, and was replaced by natural grass. In September 1988 David Balustrade tragically died and later that month Richard Thompson was appointed Chairman of QPR, becoming the youngest in the Football League. Following in his predecessor's footsteps, over £2.5 million was spent on new players. In December 1988 Jim Smith left to join Newcastle United and Peter Shreeve was appointed caretaker manager with Trevor Francis subsequently being appointed player/manager on 14th December.

During the 1988/89 season the major signings included Nigel Spackman from Liverpool, Peter Reid from Everton and Andy Sinton from Brentford. In November 1989 Trevor Francis left to be replaced by Don Howe as Head Coach. The club reached the Quarter Finals of the FA Cup, being beaten by Liverpool. It was a hectic season in the transfer market, with many players leaving Loftus Road. The major signings were Kenny Sansom, David Bardsley and Roy Wegerle (the club's first £1 million player).
