Welcome aboard to the new Korean fans and all that but as a matter of interest am I the only one that sees a truly hilarious side to all of this?"Imagine a relationship that went wrong but you held on in there for years: that's what it is like supporting a football team. Your loyalty to a team can never die. Ties are stronger than they could ever be with a woman. If she goes and sleeps with your best mate, it's over. If the Rs' boss, Ian Holloway, slept with my best mate, QPR would still be my team. Even if many of the things that you loved about going to matches have gone - terraces, team shirts without sponsors and being able to smoke at grounds - you still stick with your team." - Peter Doherty.

Originally posted by twranger View PostTotally agree with that - we do need to attract new fans from across the globe....BUT, we need to attract new, long term fans who are here for the long haul - not short term, transitory fans. I can't believe for one moment that if Park was to leave for whatever reason, that many of these new Korean fans would remain QPR fans...I think that is the reality..sadly.Last edited by stainrodisalegend; 21-10-2012, 07:23 PM.

Must be quite a shock to some, seeing fans in a football stadium that are not all from a two mile radius of White City and who are not all white, fat and old."Imagine a relationship that went wrong but you held on in there for years: that's what it is like supporting a football team.

Originally posted by stainrodisalegend View Postdont really understand your point. every fan has to start somewhere. would you make them sign a ten year contract at their first game promising they will be fans for life? sometimes i think the typical qpr fan would be happiest if he was all alone on an old-fashioned terrace, standing in the rain getting wet watching us in about the third division losing 5-0 - just so they cd bore all their friends for years to come about how "I was there." Ever heard of trying to grow a fan base and grow a club?
How many have stayed at MU since Park left - nor many I bet....just hate fickleness thats all.

We treat them as our own, might have a few more fans around the globe.
If you don't give it a try, you'll never know?
