    So what are you?

    Level 1 - Used to play for your team, had testamonial, brought up in local area, one team man and then started watching them EVERYWHERE!!

    Level 2 - On the board / major shareholder - i.e. you have a financial stake in the club as well as one with your heart - but with a club you know that there is no chance of any financial payback.

    Level 3 - Help out at the club - from half time announcements, sweeping the stands at full time, donning the macots colours or pulling pints at half time.

    Level 4 - Home and away supporter - every match - with a few reserve games thrown in for good measure.

    Level 5 - Season ticket holder - every home game and a few aways when new grounds crop up or a decent tie.

    Level 6 - Member - every home game but cant guarantee / afford season ticket.

    Level 7 - Most home games until you spit the dummy out and / or they go on a poor run.

    Level 8 - Boxing day and NYD job.

    Level 9 - Local radio job (get more credit than 10 as its crackle FM around here)

    Level 10 - watch it on TV job - easy life (or ex pat!)

    Level 11 - have two club team shirts in your wardrobe!!

    Level 12 - have supported more than two club teams!!

    Feel a bit in the dock atm so might as well be one of the first to fess up.

    Somewhere between 7/8 and 10 I'm afraid (sorry Watford, Ellers et al - proud of yer!).

    I am a fan that wants to see QPR play good football, win lots of games, reach a cup final, play in Europe
    Discuss the great play from the previous fixture and look forward to the next
    Surely not too much to ask

    A 4.5, surely I should get an extra half level for travelling a couple of hours each way to home games.

    I had to go back home via Portsmouth last night so that should add an extra level too!

    Being born and growing up near the R's along with virtually my whole extended family, I didn't choose to be a qpr supporter. That decision was made before I was born. Doesn't matter if I go to all the games or none, live in London, England or new Zealand. The blood that runs through my veins is white and blue. Everything that happens to my club affects my mood(not very happy at the moment), so I will always be a level 1 supporter, and most of the other people on this forum should feel the same..............

    Nothing to be ashamed of at all. I hate people that think they're better than others because they go to Carlisle on a Thursday night in the snow.

    I'm between 4 and 5 for now but will probably be a 6 in a few years when I'm of an age for other matters to take priority. I genuinely don't understand how these blokes in normal, average salary jobs go all over the country and even all over the continent when they've got a kid or five and a mortgage.

    I was a level 4 in my teens and early twenties. Then worked at the club during the dark days ( Level 3 ? ).

    Then became a level 6 after having babies and now they've grown up a bit I'm back to a level 5.

    I should become a level 4 again in about 7/8 years if I haven't buggered off abroad when I retire in 3 and a half years.

    Thats exactly the sort of s**te i would expect to see posted on watrb....defines how much of a ture supporter you are and therefore your validity in any posts over there should you not agree with the "in-crowd" !!

    Who give a f**k ?, used to be st holder, then played now live abroad so what level does that make me or do i just add the numbers together...

    Stupid post on a subject that winds me up

    Sorry Secret, not aimed at you mate.

    I don't get this list at all.
    How does someone who works part-time at the club, pulling pints or sweeping up the stands qualify as level 3, two places above season ticket holders like myself? (Level 5) Silly!
