If we ended up worse off would you still come to LR?

I couldn't believe my eyes in the last few years when our players started controlling cross field passes.
        Ditto mate, my first game was the year we got relegated from the PL (95/96?). So all I knew for a long time was utter garbage

          I remember the first home game of the 1998 season, for some reason there was so much optimism. I think it's because we'd signed Chris Kiwomya. I remember the announcer shouting something like "Premier League, here we come!" If only he knew...!

            Redknapp, despite going up gave us one of the most boring seasons I've ever had to endure, The PE teacher didn't have a clue, and although scoring we were shipping goals for fun, it was a bit more fun than Redknapps shite though. Last season was shocking. Leaving games bored out of my nut.

            I don't expect anything from QPR, like any sane fan wouldn't, but what I do expect is a certain level of commitment and effort, and considering we're one step away from the so called best league in the world, I expect a decent standard of football. We were served neither, and if pre season is anything to go by it'll be no different.

            Said it then, and I'll say it now. Playing one up front will cost JFH his job. We won't score anywhere near enough to compete over a season, especially with what we have as strikers.

            I'll pick and choose my games, save my annual leave from work (average 12,13 holiday days I use a season) and when I see the level of performances get a tad more exciting I'll think about it again.

            Before anyone says 'glory hunter'

            1) I support QPR. It's not possible.

            2) I don't honestly care if we lose 4-1 draw 3-3 or win 1-0 in injury time. If I go home and think that was a decent game, I'm Happy.

            3) I just want to be entertained. I'd rather an indifferent season of great, exciting games than go up playing drossball. That's not for me. Besides, like some others, the top flight is not the be all and end all for me. I actually hated 90% of our time in it.

            P.S. I have my tickets for Leeds game

              This for me too.

              Would be nice to see some decent football though. I (mostly) really enjoyed our rollercoaster ride between 95 and 2011, and funny enough, particularly enjoyed it when we went down to the 3rd/2nd/1st division whatever it's called now, going to some funny old grounds and of course that great day out at Hillsborough when we got promoted. Like Jimmy, I really didn't enjoy much of our last time in the Prem and having seen so many ups and downs over the years, I feel fairly sanguine about the whole thing.

                Dunno why when he came people saw it as the beginning of some kind of golden age, because he favoured a very similar system at Burton. The greatest bits of our history were built around footballing sides, and we started playing that way when we were even lower down the pecking order than we are now. QPR were a footballing side through and through and that approach took us right to the peak, despite our size, and that was why people admired us. Little QPR playing the beautiful game in the bear pit that was LR. That is why JFH was the wrong appointment for this club, but we've specialised in those in recent times. We've lost our way. It is possible to find it again, even with limited resources, but it won't happen until we're run by someone who gets it.

                    I'm 25 and had a season ticket for 21 years. My Dad has had one for nearly 50 years. My grandad did too. There's no way I'd not go.

                          Same! I went to our home game against Arsenal, we drew 1-1. Sat with my Dad in South Africa Road right by the Arsenal fans. What a day! Who was your first game?

So if in your opnion drossball continued or say we got relegated (before people shout, i cant emphasize strongly enough that i really dont think it will.happen nor is this a.knee jerk thread, i am trying to understand others) would you all still come , would you buy a seasom ticket?
                              I've been coming since 63 and there are plenty like me. We're still here and we've seen a lot worse. This season does have the feel of a bit of a knife edge though.

                                Only reason I haven't renewed is because I'm saving for a deposit on a house. Otherwise I'd have renewed the first opportunity.
