Only clubs that run like that really are
Norwich
Brentford
Arsenal
These clubs are fairly unique and very well run
The other 90% are not but I do agree with you

This is football I’m afraid of today I agree with principles but your in the wrong sport If your looking for what your saying It doesn’t exist old r I mainly go to Loftus Road to reminiscent about different days because its easier to do so there then it is in the mind's eye and to be socialable. When we move I'm checking out. I don't watch any other 'mainstream' football (I didn't watch a single game from the World Cup for example) and when not at Loftus Road I watch non league football where my idea of how the game should operate is still available. I know I'm living in the past but that's where my DVD collection of around 2000 matches from before 2000 helps 👍 |

Unfortunatly I’m now becoming very tired of
The club after nearly 50 years
All the appalling decisions and appointments
Have caused me much frustration and mental health
However having now found Desperados and You Porn
It does not affect me as it did luckily
One of the reasons I was hired once was because I was Qpr
He said jesus you must be a loyal / passionate person that can
Take a huge amount of shit exactly what I need in my company 🤣

I am also a 80s man that lives in the past

Can remember everything that happened too
So glad I lived in that time 🤣

Most clubs have spent more than they earn Man Utd owe 800 million pounds I’m not saying this is a good thing Just a pretty normal thing in football We are not unique in this situation You live in a world that does not exist anymore Football clubs that balance the books prob 5% I'd rather swim against the tide then condone something I cannot agree with. I find your stance just weird. You are perfectly entitled to feel the way you do but why do you bother at all then? You clearly don’t enjoy following the current club, seem to want it to fail, so why do you waste your money? |

You clearly don’t enjoy following the current club, seem to want it to fail, so why do you waste your money? Do I want it to fail? I wouldn't say that I do. I want us to return to the ethos, ethics and morals of the club as I should believe they should be and that's not possible with the current set up or, more than likely, within the framework of modern football. However, I don't accept this entity who call themselves 'Queen's Park Rangers' as such but a tribute act to a club who previously existed but no longer do though the soul still lives on and that may allow the rebirth of the real club. So, yes, I may, on occasions, want these imposters to fail but seeing as I don't accept them as QPR it's not straight forward... Am I wasting money? I get huge satisfaction from the reminiscing when I do attend matches at Loftus Road and if I didn’t I wouldn't go. I will completely check out once Loftus Road is sold. |

Not the fans’ fault that we’ve signed Duds, Donkeys and a Duff - sorry, DOF. The money wasted has been epic. In some cases, but when you look at the likes of Kieran Dyer and Shaun Wright Philips you didn't have to be a member of Mensa (or this new CEO's data academy) to see this was madness, but on the crowd cheered...Sections of the crowd. Can't lump entire fanbase in that category I'm sure we can agree. We don't know if it was the majority either. |

I hate modern football. I don't watch it and last watched a PL game when we were in it. I don't watch World Cups or the Euros either. I go watch QPR. I don't always understand why. It's sometimes a chore, clearly a habit, and recently rarely been a pleasure. I'd prefer, however, to be in my paid for seat for Watford than be in a corporate box for free at any of the top six wankers.
We are run by fools. I kinda like Marty, wish we'd appointed Neil, and wait to see what's going to transpire with this new CEO. Who's also, clearly, the DOF as well.

Maybe we all keep turning up for the same reason Zombies, in Zombie films, congregate at Shopping Malls. Because it reminds them of their previous life......

We turn up because we support QPR. I go to my local club, Wycombe Wanderers, occasionally. I don’t give a shit if they win or lose. I do if it’s QPR.

Another reason why I go is that it's a chance to give the wife and I some time apart as we always say that time we spend apart is as important as time we spend together.
Each to their own but I look at those couples who attend QPR matches together and can't help but think that firstly it's not healthy and secondly, that having exactly the same interests your partner doesn't allow you to grow as a person/couple but that's a discussion for another time.

OldR, perhaps you'd like to represent RFI at the next Supporters Consultation Committee meeting? We're invited to them all. I usually go but when I can't AlanWycombe, Corbray and West Acton have attended. The CEO and other senior staff are always present. You'd get to meet your mates Steve Sayce and Clive Whittingham too, as they're usually there  So you'd get a chance to put your views across about how the club should be run according to your principles. These meetings are designed to reflect the views of R's fans across all demographics and generations. |

Thanks for the invite but to paraphrase Gwenth Paltrow, I'm already a long way down the line of my de-coupling from QPR with an exit plan already in place. I'm happy moaning on here like the dinosaur I am but not daft. My views are in the minority and are unrealistic in the modern era for the most part and that's before you take into account the fact that for my vision of QPR to materialise would take 25 years of patience or dropping down the pyramid system... That doesn't mean that I don't reserve the right to moan like fuck about the death of the real QPR and mock people who wouldn't have saved QPR in 1987 if we had been relying on them.... |

If you truly cared about the club would you not like the opportunity to fight for it with those who wield the power and need influencing.
Whilst you come out with some bonkers opinions there are some valid ones you raise which the club should be challenged on.

If we reformed as AFC QPR you have my word that I'll be more than spectator but there's no point denying that the fight to save the QPR I want was lost when the majority of fans embraced the rich boys. Few out there want a club who will bounce around the lower divisions for 20 years so they can hold the moral high ground. Most want Saudi type owners coming in and financially doping us to what they believe is 'success'. What would the point be in me entertaining the idea of shouting into a hurricane with my dated opinions? No, fair play to people like yourself, Alan, Corbray and, of course, Stanley for finding it within yourselves to stand up for your opinions at these meetings. You're far better people than I am and love the club far more than I do too. I honestly have a lot of respect for you all. |

It's good to read that I'm not alone in some of my thoughts but I look at the club on and off the pitch and can't help but think that it is a token gesture inviting a 'wide range of opinions' to the table.... That makes me respect all of you I mentioned even more but does cement my view that its a waste of time and not for me. |

Reuben answer"We want to leave the club in a much better position" Think about that what does he mean. In the same league ? Financially better ? Operationally better in all aspects? Or just playing catchup in every area? Or your own interpretation? |

So you'd get a chance to put your views across about how the club should be run according to your principles. These meetings are designed to reflect the views of R's fans across all demographics and generations.
