As I said one of the things I will not miss (if we are successful) are the "you poor sod" looks you get when you tell people you've been going to Rangers all your life!
Couldn't agree more. If we can play attractive football and be successful, we'll all be smug xxxtards for a while, while not relinquishing our place on the moral high ground........of course...
That was the point I was trying to make really. Go outside W12 and you rarely find a Rangers fan. I don't know how i'd feel about seeing plastic people in the likes of Kingston, Woking, Bracknell etc etc walking around in Rangers shirts like they do at the moment in the blue of Chelsea?
Guess its the price of success.....we will always be the soul of the club......im just so desperate to see QPR win some Trophies and have a run of success so that we become a name in football and I can rub all the abuse I've had from freinds over the years back in their smug faces.
I agree with this ,for me its about supporting you side whatever , and i think we will always have that no matter what. Thats the great thing about english football, the amount of true football supporters , not the plastics.
Before the first of our recent relegations in 1996 we'd been an established top division club since El-Tel was manager and had only been in the old division 2 for a few years before that. Most of our history of any note has been since the one and only cup win in 1967, before then we were very much a footnote on English football. We will never be able to replicate the sort of success and history of other London clubs such as Spurs, Arsenal and West Ham but it isn't beyond us to replicate what Chelskum have done. They were big news in the early 70's but faded off into the wilderness until the Hoddle/Gullit/Vialli revolution followed by Roman's Roubles. I would like us to become a team that isn't just padding in the Premiership and not considered an easy three points for the title chasers. In ten years time we could be sitting in a beautiful purpose made stadium and wouldn't it be a turn up for the books to look at your match day ticket and see 'QPR vs Barcelona - Champion's League' instead of 'QPR vs Vauxhall Motors - Johnson's Paint Trophy' While we were languishing in League One I never thought we'd ever get to where we are now, might as well enjoy the ride as long as it lasts!
My dream apart from obviously staying in the premiership is to see us win more than 1 game (MK Dons being the only sucess) in the FA cup in 11 years and actually getting at least once in the next 10 years to the 5th round of the competition. Anything after that is a bonus.
