    Another balls-up! The people running our club don't seem to realise that part of the excitement of a new season is seeing what the new kit will look like. Putting it in the match programme on the opening day sort of defeats the object when you can see the players running around in it in front of you. It also means they've missed out on the revenue from excited fans buying the new kit in the weeks leading up to the season. How much more of their ineptitude are we going to have to endure? The goons in charge of our club wrecked our promotion party with the Faurlin saga, when we couldn't celebrate properly until 30 minutes before the Leeds game. Then they cancelled the celebratory bus tour. Then naffed us all off by refusing to spend adequately on transfers thus consigning us to a season of struggle. And now this new kit debacle. The question remains: How have this lot managed to amass a fortune in business when they act like such dunderheads?

    They really are idiots. They go from one cock up to the next. I could hardly believe it when I got the twitter message telling me that the new home kit will be revealed in this weekend's hoops magazine! (on the same day they will be wearing the kit!) ****tards!

    They know nothing about football or football fans. They thought that football supporters were like the middle-class petrol heads they are used to dealing with who have no expectation about being directly involved with the sport other than to pay £150 to wave a Ferrari flag at the cameras. Football fans are the heart and soul of the clubs they support not just passing trade to be milked. If they had worked that out they would not have invested in the first place methinks.

    Anyway, mustn't complain.

    The Goons bought the club to make money - not their love of sport or QPR. We're being run on a shoestring (for a Premiership side) and there's no consideration going into anything but squeezing out the best price from a buyer. It won't change until the Goons are gone.

    The inevitable culmination of these disasters is the revelation of a really naff sponsor: for years I've been anticipating either Durex or Tampax featuring for the entire season...

    It's also not the best way to 'grow our global brand' (to coin a phrase!!) ... if you can't get to the ground you have to wait even longer to see it

    Keeping the new shirt a secret from fans, and imploring us to buy the programme to find out, says all you need to know about the contempt with which our esteemed owners hold us in.

    and because the shirts are made by lotto and not any of the big brands you won't see them over here. I'll have to get one sent over like I do nearly every year.
