If I were paying good money for admission I would never contemplate walking out, I would have to vent my frustrations at the game. Home games are the perfect opportunity for mass protest. We need to make it happen. Also, we need to confront those clapping after heavy Home defeats.
When you say "we need to make it happen" and "we need to confront those clapping" - who are you talking about exactly? Are you nominating yourself as the leader of all this? Or are you just spouting for the sake of it?

I'm not advocating myself but mourning the change of our fanbase which rose up in 1987 to save the club. You weren't going to QPR in 1987 so it maybe difficult for you to understand how different we are now, and for the worse. As for fans clapping, have you been to any matches recently? When we lose at home, often heavily, we have fans clapping. I think we should ask those what they think they are achieving. Others have expressed opinions which say we should 'live and let live', and that's what it's about, opinions. It's not 'spouting', it's discussing different viewpoints...

No, you said: "we need to make it happen" and "we need to confront those clapping". That's a call to action, nothing to do with "mourning the change of our fanbase" - which seems a pretty fruitless exercise, by the way, what's that going to achieve?.
"You weren't going to QPR in 1987 so it maybe difficult you to understand how different we are now, and for the worse."
It's not in the slightest bit difficult for me to understand.

What will turning Saturday and all future home games into toxic atmospheres achieve? New owners and a new manager. We've become a happy clappy, shirt-wearing, bland fanbase and that has allowed this situation to endure for far too long. We need to rise the spirit of '87 to shake off the malaise and save the club again. And you not being a QPR fan in 1987 does mean you don't quite have the understanding of being there. It's something those of us who were fully get, that you may appreciate but never fully understand. As a converter you have to accept that our experience will, on occasions, have galvanised certain feelings and understandings that you can never hope to fully grasp. Not a dig, just reality.

Sadly, football is not a passion anymore, it’s a pastime. Gone are the days when most had their lweek revolve around a Saturday. Gone are the times of checking the league table at 5pm There are only us few left from the 70s//80s/early 90s Not enough to make an impact. You are frowned apon now when you boo a bad performance, when you shout and swear at a shit player or a crap substitute. People now are expected to applaud failure and persist with shit. About 3 of us in what was left of the lower loft against Blackburn, booing that cunt while he waltzed around the pitch while 1500 plus applauded him is a moment that I will never forget.

When people say about Loftus Road not having atmosphere anymore I feel like asking them what do they mean because most games there in the 80s and 90s were very ordinary - atmosphere wise - and only the vist of the big clubs, Chelsea (who even the club admitted had more fans in the ground than us hence why they justified to themselves putting the programme price up when they came!!) or big cup games/end of season had passionate atmospheres. What is very different is as what you said, the 'match day experience' is aimed at those cosplaying being a football fan and middle class families.

I don't know. You're the one advocating for action, confronting the "clappers" as you call them. I'm not advocating for anything. But I think I might go on Saturday, just to savour this mental moment in Rangers history.

Confronting them as in asking questions. I'm not going to fight fellow QPR fans. Done that before - Wimbledon away 0-5 - and it doesn't feel good.

It’s good in the big games that matter.

Would a lucky 1 nil win be enough to save the long haired on Saturday? Agree there's more chance of me swimming the channel this weekend but that surely is the only way he can survive.

No. He is beyond saving now. The fella bullshitted his way into the job and bullshits his way through every interview. You can tell from his expressions now, Even he does not believe what he says anymore. Would rather Haka man (Dave from Chelmsford) be in charge than this gimp

This weeks result should have no impact on what happens as he should have gone ages ago.
I’m not so worried about Leicester that’s a dead rubber but following week Rotherham is already huge as if they win they go 4points clear.

That is indeed my old mate Joe Brady. Much as I love him, I'd take anything he says regarding Rangers with a pinch of salt. Remember his taxi driving brother?
