  • Our fanbase

    I wonder if anyone can tell me if the club know the demographic breakdown of their supporters. It would seem like a very important thing to know, but I have never seen anything on this.
    My guess would be strongly West of LR based but truthfully just a guess.
    Thanks to anyone who has this info.

    They know ages, sex and addresses from ticket sales info and memberships. I haven't seen any analysis of this data though.

      I seem to remember they did something along these lines 10-15 years ago.

      Me, in 1969 I walked from Kilmarsh rd in Hammersmith, now I lived in France, in between I lived all over London, Teddington and Ottershaw.




      I have supported Rangers for 55 seasons, since March 1969.

        Yes, you're right Dave. Years ago I used to work in QPR and saw a map in one of the offices with pins showing where all the supporters live.
        Most of the pins were around west London, Greenford, Northolt, Ealing, Uxbridge and Hayes. Lots were north of the Bush like Harlesden and Kilburn.
        Prob all turned up for the Wembley games !!

          Did they have a map of Korea?

              I would find the info fascinating. There's something wrong with me cos I get excited poring over demographic data so seeing it relating to the fan base would be really cool.

              I'd love to see the distribution of our entire fanbase then loads of subsections based on age/gender, ST holders, regulars, away fans etc etc

              Wouldn't mind seeing it for all clubs too. I always wonder where the away fans visiting LR come from too... say there are 1000 PNE fans at our gaff, I'd love to see how many live within 25 miles or so - my gut feeling is that most clubs have a lot of exiled in fans in London but most London clubs don't have such a high proportion of exiled fans living outside of London.

              Dunno why club(s) don't put it all out there, it's just anonymised numbers and wouldn't hurt anyone.

                The vast majority live either local or out toward the M25, with a smattering everywhere else in the civilised world, including 2 here in the Dordogne. Open the wine wife.

                  I can confirm there is quite a bit of support from Slough.

                    Half a dozen that I know in Swindon, which was a overspill town after WW2 when prefabs were build. A lot of people here support London clubs which were passed down the generations. A lot of Arsenal fans here for some reason.

                    There are even a few in Pembrokeshire, like me, who got hooked as young lads from watching the 75/76 team on The Big Match. A glory hunter theyd call me today!! A lot of my friends went down the Leeds United route even though we all followed Swansea during the Toshack years.

                      Thanks for all the replies. Interesting. I hope that the club have this type of information in reasonably fine detail. Should we ever move away from LR, such data would be vital.

                      I would like to believe that the club DO posess this information, not only for the above possibility but also for knowledge of the areas where the marketing of the club would likely be most effective.
