    I know a lot of you wear QPR colours to every game anyway, but for those of you who never do (like me) - are you going to break the habit and don the colours this Saturday?

    I always preferred the incognitio casual look back in the 80s - and have stuck with it ever since. (By that I mean no colours, not Farah trousers, Gabicci shirts and Tachinni track suits tops).

    Undecided at the moment. Although I'm around 90% wearing the colours, last year's shirt wasn't the best idea for standing in full sun for a few hours. if Saturday is a day like yesterday, then I may go for comfort over colors....

    It'll be blue and white, whatever!

    Definetely colours. Big day out, lots of flags, singing etc.

    The casuals can wait till the holidays in Majorca or wherever.

    I've not worn colours since I was about 15 but each to their own. As the mrs somehow expects me to go out with her later on and straight from the game I'm a bit stuck anyway!

    I never wear colours and think it's infantile to do so on normal occasions* but for Wembley it's different. Not sure whether to dust off an old shirt or wear a hooped t-shirt I have plus a scarf.

    *I'm well aware I'm in the minority.

    Do you mean normal games or other social occasions.

    Interesting point. Normally a 'uniform' is about identity, belonging etc but I am sure those who always go casual are just as identified with QPR as those of us who wear colours.

    Colours for me and I am sad I won't be seeing the blue and white hoops at Wembley. How long am I going to have to wait for that?!

    Definitely will. Don't know whether to wear my blue and white Compaq jersey or this year's Caterham green and yellow jersey.

    Everyone should wear them, I never wear them except at games but its good to see a sea of hoops.

    I'll be there in my DTM one from a few years back.

    I've blagged a corporate junket so will be in a suit, but might be daring and go for no tie. Rebel yell!
