        Supporters are changing. Go away and everyone gets pis*ed, sings, shouts and generally has a laugh. Go to home matches and if you sing, shout, pis* about a little, people look at you as though your a muppet. Always have and always will prefer away days!!
        22nd February away v Charlton is the 40th Anniversary of my support of QPR and my first game. Away v Chelsea 3-3 23rd Feb 1974. 40 years of pure magic!!

            Not sure how any club is meant to run a loyalty scheme,at the moment Rangers define a loyal supporter as someone who has over 100 points this season,they can buy tickets to Watford and Cardiff,what total ********.

            To obtain this 100 points you could have missed all home games and if living up north have attended 12 or some fairly local away games,100 point collected now a loyal supporter.

            Myself, been a season ticket holder for 40 years, work shifts so cannot get to away games as all the holidays etc are booked for home games, watch total crap for many years,attended class home games in classics like the Simod cup with 3000 other fans, but are deemed not to be a loyal fan.

            Case 2 Cousin lives in Singapore,was a season ticket holder for 10 years before he emigrated,flys home around twice a year to catch as many home and away fans as possible,this year purchased a season ticket and has got to 3 games. He is flying 7500 miles back to England to see the last 6 games but will probably miss Watford and Cardiff because he is not a loyal supporter by their rules,yeah very funny.

            I know it is not easy to issue everyone a ticket but loyalty points based over 1 season and potentionally over attending just a few away games is total ********.
            hi ho! gimme your cousin's address! if I ever go down south to singapore (the bus is 5 hours) I could meet up with him. As Dictator of the QPR Fan Club of Malaysia, it'll be great to meet up with a ranger. We'll beat up a couple of Chelsea singaporean fans.. they are very skinny and effeminate.

              Can I transfer loyalty points to another member? Because I need zero right now.
              Banning people is no longer my hobby,
              but take a look at my photo blog:

                See Leeds are using their away travel loyalty points only for their visit to us.



                The loyalty for this game is based on away games from Nottingham Forest on Sunday August 15 2010 up to and including Sheffield United on Saturday March 19 2011.

                We estimate that supporters who have attended/received loyalty for 14 or more away games will be successful providing that they apply within the advertised timescales.

                  Gotta take issue with our away support being 'poor' this season

                  Good showings at Leicester, Derby, Palace, Forest, Ipswich, Reading, Portsmouth, Millwall, Donny

                  Gonna be taking 2000 to Scunthorpe on Saturday, Cardiff and Watford will definitely sell out and we could well take a big number to Barnsley

                    Surprised you think that magic,Leicester good showing,Derby 1/4 ov away end,Palace local derby,Forest 1/2 ov away end,
                    Ipswich good showing,Pompey good showing but only 60 miles,Millwall Local derby,Donny,Scunthorpe,Cardiff & Watford coz everybody wants to see the run in and the R'S getting promoted.So what happened at Sheff Utd,Swansea,Bristol City, Leeds,Coventry,Blackburn,Hull & Boro,some of these were embarrasing considering we were top of the league !!!!!

                        1800 to Derby not a good showing in August when many are on holidays, before we were even tearing this league a new one.

                        We have a small fanbase, deal with it. Could take issue with a few of the away games named there but I can't really be bothered.

                        2,000 to Forest not acceptable?

                        Last season our home average was under 14,000. Lucky you aren't a Fulham supporter mate you'd probably top yourself.

                          I'd be interested to see stats for the % size of travelling support with regards to avearge home support. I think you'd find we are quite up the list, we are small club deal with it as someone said.

                          We take between 10-20% away, thats pretty decent in my view.

                            Agreed.

                            Take Fulham, they get 25,000 at home and struggle to get into 4 figures for away games, as well as some of the larger supported home sides like Derby or Sheff Utd in this division - our away average would be higher than theirs I'm sure.

                              Our away support now is far far better than it was in our twilight years in the Prem. Some turnouts then were plain embarrassing. Now is decent enough. Lowest show this year was at the Liberty on a midweek. Bristol on the Friday and Sky was not a lot better. Most of the others have all hovered around the 1200+ mark (15k+ for a good number of games) with some very decent turnouts which have been mentioned above. My favourite jaunt of the year remains Ipswich I have to say. Great night out.

                                1,500 odd to Bristol on a Friday wasn't that bad I thought
