well my great love for qpr comes from my father,he had been brought up in shepards bush and had gone to one of the schools in the manor where everybody was qpr fans
after the war me poor old dad used to get such an ear hole bashing ftrom me mum he started taking me to qpr i was only 4 years old at the time and still have memories of being left in a car outside the general smuts while me dad brought out some crisps and lemonade
a massive lot of qpr fans moved to hayes northolt greenford hillingdon area
and we were one such family
my youngest memories were all about the friendly banter between us and brentford fans
they of course had the very glamerous griffin park which could hold 40 000 fans it had been a first division ground and we had a pile of stinging nettles and concrete slabs called loftus road
as a club we had no money and not much future,but we of course got hit by a whirlwind that was to change our club his name was jimmy gregory
aged 15 i went to a skinhead club in greenford and when the song liquidator was sang we all sang
chelsea,such was the ethos of the time,a lot of qpr fans were regularily going to the famous shed we didnt see anything wrong with it untill we played chelsea in a friendly
that was to change all the qpr fans forever ,there behaviour was so bad that hatred was born that day
but greenford and hayes was still solid chelsea,so i joined the biggest concentrate of qpr fans anywhere including shepards bush
YES NORTHOLTS 14 COUNCIL ESTATES WAS FULL OF QPR FANS,AND FOR ONE GAME WE TOOK OVER A HUNDRED
so thats it really although i forgot to tell youi that i was born in fulham palace road,strange you might think but again not really after the war houses in fulham only cost 2000 pound and up against the much more posher area and much more bigger houses of shepards bush which cost 15 000 so many qpr fans first moved to fulham then moved further out to the industral estated suburbs

That's a fabulous story Ted, thanks for that bit of personal history!

I Live in Norway and Have supported QPR since I first saw them on norwegain telly back in the mid seventies. I found the way we passed the ball around and attacked a bit like the holland team in 1974 and obviously liked our version of the brand; "total-fotball"
In Norway, I support Sandefjord Fotball in the secod tier and to a certain extent Rosenborg of course.

And believe it or not,I do also follow St. Lous Blues in the NHL.

It's another I need to justify why I support QPR even though I don't live in West London thread.

If it makes you feel better crack on.

OB alert.

N.O.B. alert you complete ...

mancrs.

It would be interesting to know where everybody on this board lives and if they are not from the West London area, how come they support the Rs.

I live in East London (my nearest team is actually Millwall) for half the year and Orlando FL for the rest of the year.

I support QPR because I used to live in Middlesex (Perivale, Greenford and Northolt) I started supporting Rangers when we used to listen to Theo (think he was the assistant coach at one time) on Radio London on Saturday sports.

My name is Brian and i live in MANCHESTER. I have followed Q.P.R.since my dad took me to the 67 cup final against W.B.A.and have been going Home and away reg since 1972. The last 18 years i have to pick my games because i am disabled now with M.S.
