Final reminder and a good luck for anyone going...
I don't think it's so much that anything will be accomplished today...But it will be a signal to the club that fans care are prepared to be active.
And a low turn out will have a negative message

Lets hope as many fans as possible can get along today and make their points regarding the increased prices
I am lucky enough that I can afford to renew my season ticket but the walk up prices look to be if we are to believe what was in the renewal packs a disgrace and will price many hard working genuine fans from being able to attend in the future so that is why I will be going today to show my support
It might not achieve anything but hell its worth a try

Agreed, did look for anything from John but couldn't find anything. Fair play, understand why they would want to hopefully control any output. Ta. |

As noted by Isleworth Ranger on WATRB, LSA have now posted a statement on the LSA BoardSTATEMENT FROM QPR LSAThe LSA wrote to our Club Chairman and major shareholders on June 1st requesting an urgent meeting to discuss the high rise in ticket prices and the failure to reward loyal fans with a discount. The club, however, met solely with the Official Supporters Club (snubbing the LSA) but has not given a response to the OSC or our fans regarding points raised regarding price increases. We reluctantly advise members of the LSA, which is the largest voluntary paid membership organisation of any QPR fans' group, that relations have broken down between the LSA and the club. Therefore until relations are restored between the club and our fans, we recommend, as a protest, that our members decline to buy any merchandise from the club shop or any club publications. Instead we recommend they should donate money to QPR in the Community Trust. We urge the club to call an urgent meeting with all fans' groups so that we can resolve the breakdown in trust and relations between QPR and its fans. We however pledge our undying support for our team and its manager Mr Warnock. www.qprlsa.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12646

It's a start so it's better than useless. However, I was a member years back and I'm not sure if that would make me rejoin. Although I didn't join expecting them to be my voice anyway, so hayhoe eh!  I'd still like to know what happened on Sunday. Is that meeting still a secret? |

I'm sure Flavio will be shuddering with fear - if indeed he has heard of the LSA. That's not a reflection on them but the contempt Flavio etc actually has for QPR fans worth less than 1 million pounds. You 20 quid fans you!

I think it should be pointed out that the 30 signatures forcing the OSC EGM were in fact gathered from fans from different messageboards and did not directly involved QPR1ST though their support is of course appreciated |

The concept of "One QPR" was a good one. Shame it didn't work out.
(And obviously who should be included, and having just one rep from each group, "making" the club meet, were all difficulties)

Good lady Tracey, lot of respect from a lot of fans for her court coverage in her own time. I can think of only two people who didn't appreciate it.

Just to note that the added sentence to the LSA Statement, that CPR Posted above, is now also on the LSA Board so it's "official" Other activities and action were discussed and if situation is not resolved by the start of the season, fans will be informed.
