QPR Fan Groups DID Meet With Club Reps Mid-April

If you can get in, I certainly invite you to attend as my Rep: But the deal is you have to report back on this site, first.

If it's just numbers: This site's readership (not it's posters) is growing (at least recently!). And this site's moderators clearly are across the spectrum (and Myu has an open invitation to return - as do the couple of other QPR sites who haven't at least yet accepted the offer as moderators)

And of course - if size counts! - The QPR Report blog gets one of the biggest daily readerships.

So yes Scott, go for it!

If you post or pm me his email, I'll try. But perhaps don't yet pick out what you're going to wear!

Can all club officials in attendence please wear lie detector equipment. Also Scott, look for growing noses!! A sure sign.

I don't think there's a snowballs chance you get invited but I would go with Scott or instead of as I think my allegiance are clear

First let's get me admitted: Once you admit LFW and WATRB (although QPR.org should also be included and maybe others) Anyway once LFW and WATRB are included, and they are not "rep groups like LSA or QPR1st etc, the case against QPR Report moves from totally-self-evident to a case could be made for or against.

Ideally if was admitted, maybe could have rotating Reps. Given that the moderators on this board come from all the other messagboards and a couple of others such as BP and Dave Thomas, that would be a very reasonable/rational approach is others willing.

- Of course, it's possible I could attend if Mittal/Briatore would send the plane to pick me up.

But step One is to get a response from Mr. Russell. And step two to get an invite.

I have sent two emails to Mr. Russell regarding a QPR Report representative attending.

Unfortunately thus far, I've had no acknowledgment even of receipt of the email, let alone a response.

Politeness begets politeness! And the reverse also. I mean it's not going to give me much time to make arrangements by the time he gets back to me.'

Maybe if I mention the word ECCLESTONE - that will set off some computer alert - and club reps will ensure this message gets to the attention of Mr. Russell.

well although I didn;t get voted Most smart in Pete list of intelligent posters, I do ge it! On the other hand, given that Ali "he doesn write; he doesnt call" Russell hasnt gotten back to me...

Throw in that Pete reports there may not be a meeting. I sure hope all the fan groups are aware

On Indys, say the meeting will be held tomorrow, Wednesday at 4pm

So are you going to try and get FUTURE representation on ONEQPR ?

Good question!

In case people didn't know: Based on Scott's suggestion how to go about joining, I contacted Ali Russell regarding this matter!

Russell's office passed on my email to a OneQPR Rep who contacted me and elaborated further on things and condition.

I responded back confirming my interest and agreemen to comply with conditions, if accepted.

The Rep got back to me, said my letter would be passed on to the other fan sites who would then vote on the matter.

And based on Pete's reaction, I presume that letter did get passed on to the other fan sites.

If any fan site wants to contact me and ask me further questions, etc, I'm happy to answer. But I'm certainly not contacting the other groups, "campaigning to get included"

I can make the argument for inclusion. I'm obviously aware of the arguments against inclusion.

Obviously if I didn't feel that despite my distance and "not having seen a QPR game since 1969" (actually yet another wrong factoid ), I with a blog that scans the globe and maybe bring in the views of QPR fans across the globe (and also the other overseas QPR sites), this messageboard, and 40+ years of QPR, could still make a contribution. And as a genuine "independent" voice.

Obviously, "QPR Report" would not be attending meetings in person. Scott volunteered - and actually initiated the idea. But on reflection - and I haven't gone into details, because that would be rather premature - I think it would probably be best to have a messageboard poster, or a rotation of posters, who don't also "represent" other QPR sites. But I'm sure that won't be a problem.

Anyway QPR fan groups will make the determination re QPR Report. I have to say that I'm not 100% sure that Pete will be supporting the idea, although as a QPR fan, he'd surely be putting the best interests of QPR over his ownn personal issues.

See. I can answer questions

Thanks.

Just fyi, for those who for, whatever reason don't want to visit that WATRB link (I obviously haven't had that problem )

Pete's response:
"Its my board and when I see something like that I will delete it.
I don't represent anyone.
I think all supporters are equal.
If you feel I represent you, then maybe you should go to a board where you feel someone represents you better. Your not forced to come on here and ONEqpr have 15 members
Its never regarded by anyone at ONEQPR we represent anyone. We gage opinion. "

Clive does not attend, mainly due to distance, there's only been one or two to attend since LFW have been included anyway. LFW elected their own rep to report back as I recall.

Ah democracy, something sadly missing from some MBs

"Its never regarded by anyone at ONEQPR we represent anyone. We gage opinion" V "The ONEQPR is a democratic process", so which is Pete, a democratic process that accepts the will of 90% of its own poll opinion or a despotic vehicle for you to set your own agenda?
