Watching a quiz show. Question was which team's kit has blue and white hoops? READING!!Not to mention that they knicked our "QPRFC from the White City" chant and changed it to "ReadingFC from the Madjeski"seriously every time we play them they knick another chant.
Yeah one of their fans on Twitter was saying money out is 3times what goes in. Not sustainable if correct.
There was a really interesting post a few years ago on this, someone (I think a Reading fan) did a lot of research and I think the conclusion was that Reading were first to wear hoops but that we had sported them for longer, Reading having had longer hoopless periods. Something like that anyway. Essentially both clubs could make a decent case.
I remember that post. I wasn’t sure in was 100 % correct because he said we first wore hoops in xxxx year and I have a b&w picture of a QPR team wearing hoops before the date he stated. The rest of it was pretty much spot on.
Agree, I think back to when I was moaning about us not spending. Glad they did what they did.
I do recall that thread. He was a tad smug with his research. At present, they do NOT wear hoops (the lines are broken at the back) and their nickname is The Royals. We wear Hoops and our nickname is The Hoops. Go figure!
An obvious excuse from April, but not before. A lot of clubs are going to get spanked!
I hope so but only because we did.
They will use every which way to wiggle out, just as we did. One can only hope the outcome is the same!
I think our owners will not take that lying down.
A bigger stumbling block could be that they settled. Tony's big man talk is not the same as oil billionaires power to buy their way out of trouble. My money is on the EFL using this decision to back off from punishing anyone else but existing sanctions dished out will. There is a greater chance of Loftus Road being sold for development to bail out his rapidly dwindling financial empire than there is of of us getting any recompense.
