Oh come on, I thought you were a little bit more well travelled international citizen of the world type to revert to the lazy usual 40yr old Irishman supporting Man U or Liverpool cos Ronny Whelan played for them. Now I could imagine you not wanting to follow the Spurs for well established reasons we wont go into but Liverpool
Interesting and of course great answers. We are a loyal group are we not? QPR or nothing This exercise is to see how we are all in it together... win or lose and would be great to remember this after a poor match on here Of course its QPR or nothing but as we grow and we are ... we must gauge where we came from? QPR in my experience was a club that a lot of other fans always had a soft spot for ... not so long ago we were the best performing team in London for years on end ... now we must face the prospect of having new fans who will come from nothing and nowhere. A vision of QPR is dead may not be far from the truth for a lot of us.... the driving force behind my hobby design ... the hoops and that heritage have to be established in transformation ... hence a simple smooth identity is required ... don't do that and we will forever plate spinning with what exactly we are
Well said. The biggest challenge going forward isn't getting a shiny new stadium, or securing Premiership status, but it is doing all that, without killing what makes QPR special...the small family club feel that in the past has made us so many people's second team.
Bath Rugby. Damn sight closer, too. I used to admire Arsenal's beautiful passing game and Thierry Henry's elegance but I have no real emotional tie to any team other than QPR. It's been 46 years... more chance of changing my wife than my football team. Sorry, darling, didn't really mean that....
If QPR we officially dead then it would give me a great opportunity to throw my support more fully behind finishing off the hundred of DIY jobs that never get done because you never get a full Saturday during the season - even away we can often have the distraction of a live stream Improving my fretless bass playing technique which is still rank despite investing £1000 in a custom made fretless bass back in 1991!!
Born and bred in the Bush so unlike others I have no local affiliations to fall back on. However, the answer's actually very easy and the same as it is now: whoever are playing the scum.
Moving to Essex soon so would probably have to watch Chelmsford, but support them....I don't think so.
Getting Saturday afternoons back would be nice and earn me some brownie points with 'er indoors. I do have a second team - Wealdstone where my family are from so some emotional ties there but nothing like the Rs who are really like a detached part of me....
If Queens Park Rangers were to die they couldn't stop a new club being formed. I sugest the name should be QPR. However, I would have a real problem. Being born & bred a Chesham United supporter, could I have the same allegiance to another club playing below the Football League? Obviously I would like both to suceed but if they were to ever play each other where would my loyalty lie? Will give you the answer to that when it happens!
Talking of Wealdstone, Stuart Pearce who used to play for them was on Talksport and said he's a QPR supporter and remembers being in the Loft as a kid when David Webb came over and threw his shirt into the crowd, Psycho got one hand to it before being swamped by dozens of bigger supporters and that was the last he saw of the shirt. He said that's the reason he never threw his shirt into the crowd as a player, he would always pick out a kid and hand it to him. Shame he never played for us...
Vinnie Jones too Sooper, we could have used Stuart Pearce though - fearsome! Wealdstone a bit like QPR for ups and downs though, ground sold and now playing at Ruislip (although plans for new ground etc) My first game there was 1968 for a Johnny Haynes all stars XI in a charity match
I used to go to Wealdstone sometimes when the R's were away - the little ground behind the cinema. For a time they had Terry Dyson, from Spurs' double winning team, playing for them....must have been very early 70s. Always had a soft spot for them, never liked Harrow Borough. Hendon were the big team in those days along with Enfield, I seem to remember.
If you like stylish, elegant football you could do worse than follow the Swans - no, not Staines Town - the real ones.
