I miss old Raymondo... after months of stupidly accusing me on Twitter of being Snooker Loopy, he decided to block me and so now I know nothing of his life.

This is actually an important debate, and something that most posters here don't really realise.

This forum was created so that GP would have an arms-length mouthpiece forum. The 'rumours' (leaks) that Pete would post were a way of building up a following amongst the more credulous QPR fans. In turn, this forum was to form a core group of fans who faithfully supported the club's management, if often not the players and managers. Look at how the anti-Sousa stuff was spun on this board once GP decided he didn't like him.

Then we have the smears put out about other fans, other forums and so on. The whole process really did have a horrible effect on our fanbase.

We have ended up with this daft situation of a relatively small but incredibly divided fanbase. We have at least 6 active forums - a ridiculous amount for a club our size!

WATRBs is quite similar to how Ultras are treated in Italy. Favoured groups of fans gain access to players*, free tickets, insider info on transfers and whatnot. In return, they support the club's management, and not the players.

This is why in Italy you see gangs of Ultras terrorising players, but rarely criticising their club's often inept owners.

*someone ought to dig out that photo of GP, Ledesma, Scott Jones, FreeSeat and others in the British Queen

That is actually incorrect.

That is actually incorrect.

Well tell me the real truth then.

Dave Mc and Scott Jones both agree with the above history, and they've been pretty much directly opposed on all things QPR in recent years

GP and Pete, who are the rest Matty?

Makes sense.

Right, can't accuse us of censorship as the negative opinion of the WATRB origins has been formulated here in detail for all to see. You are free to believe whatever you want. For me WATRB is just a friendly forum, otherwise I wouldn't be here. In any case, keeping this thread open will only lead to more bad blood. We are not interested in messageboard wars and singling people out. If anyone feels the urge to further exploit this topic, I suggest you do it on another forum or Twitter.
