    Over the last 24 hours we have had a number of mixed views regarding this group. We are not here to embarrass the club as people have said on twitter, we feel something needs to change. The atmosphere is not what it use to be and on a week to week basis there are a number of empty seats all over Loftus Road. The Q block and R block are unfortunately not what they use to be and we feel a new group can bring life to Loftus Road again; we want to create an atmosphere and bring Loftus Road more in-line with modern football fans. Similar supporters groups have appeared throughout the English football leagues and have helped clubs grow, increased ticket sales, connected fans and players and spurred the team on to greater success.

    We are only at our beginning but we want this group to be for everyone.

    And no, there won’t be any clappers as many have asked on twitter.

    We are planning to do our first display versus Preston, we are looking to did it in X Block. We will all stand, have flags pre game, sing and hopefully many will see us and notice us and we can grow more and more.

        Take no notice of twitter negativity. If you gave some of them a free score they would moan and say why isn't it aint a fifty.
        Good luck with this, like it.

            Good luck to you but IMO the only thing that will get the whole ground rocking is what is going on on the pitch.

              Huddersfield, Watford, Bristol City, Man City, York to name a few.

              We're looking at a banner that says "The Loft Boys" and then a number of blue flags and white flags, we're only at the beginning but hopefully we can get more and more involved.

                Great idea. I think there is a difference between being called 'ultras' or similar to being a vocal section of the ground. Massive difference in fact. Good luck to you, hope it carries on growing.

                Disagree with what happens on the pitch is the only thing that matters. We shouldn't be sing when you're winning. It is boring when you lose when it is quiet, so why not sing then and actually have fun?

                    This is exactly what we think as well. If you're a young fan going for the first time, if the football isn't great, what would attract you to come again?

                      I was sceptical at first, but your post is well put, and comes across as a very respectable proposition, not suggesting any "ultra" intent.

                      Good luck, I hope you get the result we all want

                        Thanks mate! The more the merrier, and if people see more involved we think they'd be more likely to get involved themselves.

                            We feel we don't really have many chants for new players and with it being a fairly young team, we think that they would appreciate it.

                            We started a song about Eze at Fulham and we're currently thinking of one for the likes of Symth.

                                Was that the chant of "Eze good, Eze good, he's Ebere Eze good" ? Cracked me up.

                                May I suggest you start a chant page on here and get someone to sticky it ?

                                Many a top tune goes amiss on forums and it would be great to get a group that would give them a go (or at least consider them).
