Who else misses being a small club?

"Your mates can't get season tickets? Well they can't be that "loyal" or they'd just have renewed their tickets?" since when have i stated my mates have a season ticket? They can't afford a season ticket so as for you saying they can't be that Loyal they have money issues otherwise believe me they would be travelling home and away like they used to be. I think your getting the complete wrong end of the stick i also haven't stated they want a season ticket after we stayed in the premiership, i suggest you read over the conversation if you haven't already. " the people that supported the club in the Championship winning season and last year were part of the success" where were they before our success?

QPR Loyal, i think youve made a valid point and i`m not sure everyone understood , before they jumped on you ! Where were the people in the half and half scarfs a couple of seasons ago ? They certainly weren`t at Loftus Rd .

I don't aim this at every fan or anyone in particular on this site as im sure a fair few of you feel the same, I remember being at Mansfield away when we won 4-0, Rushden & Diamonds away when we drew 3-3 and Ainsworth scored them two screamers, i remember being at Loftus Road when we were only get 12,000 every week, i remember being able to buy a match ticket on the morning of games! Where have all these fans come from since we started doing well? it's a shame, the majority of us stuck by rangers when we was having a rough time... But since all these so called fans have appeared i bet there are a few proper rangers fans who was with us when we weren't doing well who can't get down rangers now or cant even get a match ticket.

hence Tony wants a bigger stadium. You can't call any qpr fan a glory supporter, we're not that bloody good. "it's a shame, the majority of us stuck by rangers"??? why's that a shame?

What a depressing thread

The the aim of any club is to reach the top

Having the mentality of wanting to be small is for people with low ambitions in life

Agree. Having no ambition and being satisfied with the status quo is for losers. What a boring life it would be with no ambition. Let's ****ing pack out a 45k stadium, couldn't give two hoots who I sit next to as long as they're here to support the hoops. Let's take chelsea off the ****ing map.

[James1979]

Yep, agree with all that James.

Families get bigger, as long as everyone supports the R's who gives a shite?

I'll lay a wager that probably every single club has lower attendances when they go down, and it rises when they go up.

I can see your point , but i wouldn`t want Rangers to go the same way as Chelsea and lose our core support , youve only got to go to sw6 and see two grounds full of sanitised ,premier league , prawn sandwich munching ,half/half scarf wearing ,johnny come latelys. I dont want Rangers to ever get like that.

Anyone who is a so called "core" supporter would surely be there no matter what anyway?

If you're Rangers to the core, you'll be with them no matter what though. Just make sure you don't get any cucumber on your top

[QPR Richard]

All clubs have a hard core support. That'll never change, and I'm not too bothered about 10k extra people turning up spending half a million each game. It's £10m a season and a club like ours can't afford to knock that back.

[Will M]

I think I can see where you're both coming from, you're worried about getting priced out of games. Even though we were there putting our money into the club when others weren't.

Maybe when we get a new stadium Tony might reward long serving R's with cheaper tickets?

pointless...negates the whole point of sport...which is to attempt to be the best...40 years of "hurt" for me...punctuated by moments...best time ever to be qpr..COYR
