    I've heard a lot recently of QPR fans planning a silent protest at our home game v Newcastle and walking out of Loftus Road on 80 minutes. This is gathering momentum on twitter and on other QPR message boards apparently. I can't really see what this will achieve myself.

    What do you think?

    Can't see what this is supposed to achieve - other than the club is totally at odds with itself.
    We need to be closing ranks now, not looking like Blackburn Rovers MkII.

    To achieve what? Do the organisers believe TF thinks we're all happy? The players obviously don't care, and as we all know Harold bears no responsibility.

    Personally I would feel something of a tit doing a 3 - 4 hour round trip in order to leave early. Whether I bother to go at all is more relevant, not as a protest, but because of the pathetic 'entertainment' on offer. But I've paid already..........

    What the f*ck would that achieve? TF has done his best and that would just rub it in. We're down and we have to move forward and we, as supporters, should back the team however little we may think of certain individuals. Hopefully Harry will get the main culprits out of the club in the summer...

    I could certainly see them walking out after 80 mins of this crap at Reading - so goes the game, so goes the season - right now we're going down without even a whimper - just hope one team scores a goal to at least prolong their agony.

    No part of this....We are not happy
    No-one is happy, what will a walkout do

    What we need to do is stay behind and sing our songs...to show we are down but not out


    I will be no part of a 80 min walkout...I will do the opposite

    What a stupid idea, whats that supposed to achieve.

    Whatever the mistakes that have been made ( and there a few arn't there!!) just what would that do for the club.

    I will continue to suuport MY club, no matter what, and I said "club" not the "players". Right at this moment the club needs us.

    I will always support people that care about the club that is the owners, players like Derry, Taraabt, Hill, Mackie etc. Thats why i feel its wrong to walk out last game. Im just hoping come August we are in some sort of shape to get off to a good start and i think the fans still need to be with the owners and players that will remain.

    I'll not be leaving until after the end of the Newcastle match. It may be the last time we see the likes of Derry and Hill and I, for one, want to show my gratitude to them.

    Complete waste of time and can't really see what it's aimed at. The board ? The players ?

    TBH, I'm struggling to find it in myself to turn up at all ( but if course I will )

    :(

    I would rather show our displeasure of certain players' efforts by 'expressing' our distaste at the minute time of their shirt number - one player comes to mind (19) seen jogging off with a big grin after today's game - I think it would send a more concentrated message that we are not prepared to put up with players who don't want to wear the hoops with pride.
