How did you become a QPR fan?

[wewillbeback]

born in Queens Park, moved to Kensal Green, I used to walk through the cemetary with my mates at the age of 8 to the scrubs, never looked back - where I grew up you either supported us or the scum - no contest

[MattyRangers]

Me old man ensured I was Rangers from birth. And I'm farking glad of it n all - wouldn't wanna support anybody else.

Grew up in Loftus Road and lived right next to the Loft entrance so couldn't avoid it !

Older brother, then my husband being fan, couldn't really support any other team, also being from Harrow I had the choice of either supporting Watford or Rangers as my nearest big team to support.

My grandfather - he lived in the area in his younger days, before WWII. I was just starting to get into football at school and he started telling me about QPR. Also, I loved the blue and white hooped kit ! My Dad was a gooner - but as I became a QPR fan and probably more into football than him, he ended up taking me to QPR when I was young fairly regularly. In the end, I pretty much converted him !

One of my sisters took me in 1971.
Silly cow still sends me text messages after we win saying well done, as if I've had anything to do with it. They have been less frequent this season though.

Bob,bob,bob. Ehemmm.

That's the one thing about QPR my mum always liked - the kit. Sorry, that was the only thing!

I grew up in kensal green and didn't know any scum fans.it was either arsenal, spurs and the odd rangers.

My mum and her parents went to Wembley in 1967. She had me in a knitted kit as a one year old so I stood no chance....

Similar story, but only a few months old at the time without the luxury of rich parents making such a wonderful piece of knitwear.
Born Queen Cs, 1st year in Sterndale, next 4 in Wormholt; got expelled from Pope Johns, aged 5 for trying to set it on fire; as punishment, parents moved to Harlesden then Stonebridge :( Wanted to support Man City from age 6 as I liked their shade of blue, but wasn't allowed (thankfully).

I thought it was my old man that was responsible, as he used to go drinking & gambling with Stan & the guys; but after 40+ years of thinking that, my old man turned round to me on the phone last year telling me that his team (chelscum) were doing OK - I did the right thing & disowned him immediatly & haven't spoke to him since (true story).

So apparently, it was my Mum that was responsible for me following QPR. (only took me 45 years to find that out huh).

things were alot different 40 years ago.

[OneEyedWilly]

Im a huge fan of 'struggling'....seemed an obvious choice.

Islington is probably closer to kensal green than Fulham is,so not surprised they've replaced Chelsea's fanbase around there.
