Don't be. Go right ahead and just post...  Welcome Visitor! You're of course welcome just to read the posts. But think about the psychic benefits you'll get from posting! This site believes there's no "correct" way to think and talk about QPR. There's no board "clique." And there's no harassing of fellow posters with whom one may disagree. So just go to the top of the page where it says "Guests register" or just go directly to this link. qprreport.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=registerAnd then you'll be able to post on any QPR or football subjects that interest you: Current or in the past. Thanks! UPDATE:If You're Having any registration problems: Not sure why that might be, but if you click qprreport.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=registerIt should go directly to registration A simple 30 seconds...and done! Thanks [Any problems, still: Contact me at QPRreport@hotmail.com |

And a follow up query to visitors: What would entice you to post? (Besides financial incentives and prizes which, I'm sorry, is not going to happen?  [And if you don't want to register to answer, just respond c/o qprreport@hotmail.com - I'd be interested, even if you don't want to become a poster] |

Hello, Mike(?), gentlemen... I've been lurking at your messageboard for about a month, and checking your awesome blog for a few years (is it that old?) now.
I wasn't born in West or any other part of London, nor, actually, Great Britain for that matter. I was born in Lithuania. And still live here. I haven't attended a single match at Loftus Road (I have visited Loftus Road, where I bumped into Martino Chevannes, though; and the clubshop), but am willing to in the very near future...
And so I fell in love with, according to an Arsenal fan, "the club which had a plastic pitch" in the mid nineties and my love hasn't vanished since. Crazy, I know.
I sometimes post at the (initially) "Russian Loyals" board, which now mainly consists of posts from a Lithuanian, Ukrainian and Estonian (Kirill, I believe he is now a moderator at WATRBs).
I think Report is a perfect serene middle between the anarchic DOTorg and the controlled WATRB (with all due respect to the both).
So here I am. Hopefully, I will post a message or two, without annoying you with my Baltic English ;-)

Sabas: You're very welcome. Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully this site won't disappoint you  The Nice thing about QPR fans around the world: They (You!) are REAL fans - Unlike some of the other "glamour" teams - from West London and Manchester, in particular. And while the Internet has certainly enabled me to have fights with fellow QPR fans an ocean or continent away - something I somehow never dreamed about - It's also made possible, bringing QPR fans across ever closer to Loftus Road, on a real time basis. Ah for the days of a crackly short wave radio, and relying on a box score in a local newspaper; or to surreptitously try and read an English newspaper sports pages at one of the international newspaper stores - several days after the game to find the result or transfer news. I'm sure your English and spelling will be no worse than many of us born in England! Krill and I have definitely "debated" in the past. But he was very gracious re my WATRB ban. Especially commendable given our differences. So again, welcome - And Disagreements encouraged! |

And in your case, I guess, it's nostalgia that makes the supporting even more, painfully, real.
By the way, which (U.S.) area are you based in now?

I'm based in the Washington DC area - which is why I want QPR to play DC United |

Not MLS...Not Redksins....Not college football...Not Baseball....Not basketball....Not hockey...
If it's not QPR, then it's not worth watching/caring about!

It was an adventure trying to get in here Mike, between Norton & Vista I've been having too many adventures lately  First place I lived in the USA was Chicago, been BEARS, WHITE SOX ever since. Got with QPR a few year's later when we moved to England. Flav and his boys have LSU, Bulls and Blackhawks closing in on #3 on my favorites list  |

Thank you blockhead. But of course thank you to everyone for your posts which of course is what makes this board. (And thanks to everyone who hasn't registered but who visit). Hopefully the board will continue to grow (a little!) and the same board ethos will continue and flourish.
