      Growing up my parents used to run a local coach firm in West london (Southall !!).

      On match days my old man would take the youth team and very occaisionally the 1 team to their game.
      The trainer would always give my old man 2 tickets for the game and i met a lot of the players as i used to go along with him..
      Ended up a ST holder and that was over 20 years ago. Finally traded in my ST for the sun and a beach.....! Kids both have rangers kits over here and we're "spreading the word" !!

                I liked Jude.
                I still do.
                Banning people is no longer my hobby,
                but take a look at my photo blog:

                    Always loved footy with a strange affinity for the English game (even though Mexican league is big 'round here). Had to make it to a match whilst on holiday in London. Wanted to be amongst real football fans, not other tourists at clubs like ManU, Arsenal, or the ****. Got a ticket to QPR v West Brom (3-dec), saw the pitch, got hooked. The lad next to me (never caught his name, prolly one of y'all) said he normally sits up top but got his ticket last minute. The section i was in was pretty quiet compared to the terrace above, but this guy sang the entire match only stopping to badger the referees. Taught me some songs, gave me some history. . .i hardly even remember the rest of the trip. Seriously though, if it was one of you guys, thanks. Already saving up to see y'all again this Fall. . .a home AND away match this time, hellz yea! COYR'sssss! ! !

                      Grew up in Hanwell and used to jump on the 207 to the Bush, had the occasional trip on the E3 (?) to Brentford but they were gash! So a Ranger I am and always will be!

                        Family have always supported them, my great Uncle Frank Vooght was Director and then Vice-Chairman in the late 60's and early 70's I think.

                          Born in Du-cane rd, All my family are from the bush. Norland gardens and round by the sheepshank before it was all developed. Dad used to take me and my cousin to L/R when we about 5 or 6, drop us off in the loft end and would pick us up after the game. He used to go have a beer with my grand-dad. So thanks dad RIP xx

                                Growing up not far from Selhurst Park , my school used to get free tickets to Palace, so i went along a couple of times ( about 1980 ). When my Dad , realised i could well end up supporting them , he started taking me to Loftus Rd, and i just fell in love with Rangers . Had extended family in the Bush and Greenford and theyre all Rangers too.
                                Everything about QPR just seemed so exciting compared to Palace, and still does.
