[Edit: Obviously if you're from Central America...or South America...or the Carribean, feel free to also sign up here) To mirror Lonegunmen And I am just so impressed by how many from Australia and New Zealand. (And that's just on this board) So I'd thought I'd see how many from the USA and Canada? I knew from stat figures, that get many, many visitors to the board and blog from the USA and Canada. But I think there more than one or two handfuls of actual posters... But manybe they'll see this thread and sign up. You'd be SO Welcome (As of course are posters from anywhere in the world)

This is a great Idea Mac. It gives us a proper idea where everyone is so to speak. I've expanded my one a bit more.

Where in Ontario, Jax? Even that's about four times the size of the UK. At least you're in Canada where you can only miss England half as much as in the US.

Ottawa, Canada. I am the one driving the car with QPR number plates. Usually go to the Georgetown Pub for big matches.
My brother is a supporter as well who lives in the Toronto area.
We are both 3rd generation supporters.

Vancouver, BC here. Although originally from Scotland I have been a Ranger since the first time I went to Loftus Road in the early 70's during the Rodney M and later the Stan B days. We try to get over during the season for a game or two and as soon as the box office opens for Premier league games we'll be in line. Go Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs

Victoria, in BC Canada here. Been a ranger since '92-93 season when my brother, who was serving in the army at the time gave me his season ticket. The Rs came fifth, and I thought that I was on to a good thing. Little did I know....
Moved to Canada 7 years ago, and with the rise of ExpatShield and myp2p I think I have watched more QPR action than I have in a long time.

Hey , I won the Indy R's league the last two seasons, this season they knocked me down a peg or two(only managed a couple of thirds). It's not me getting worse as I've got more points this season than the other years I've played With QPR promoted I'll be expecting even tougher competition here and there next season, and just like that fella Bradley I was telling you about I plan on being well up for it Good luck next season hope you get back to that top 3000 form!!

Tim Howard's been my goalie every year I've played so don't look for me to be brave enough to sign up Paddy Taarabt though looks like he might be BAYOU-R material! Shooting for 2100 this year myself, had a big March where I wound up #8 out of 60,000 USA players, only 4 points out of #1 Hopefully we get at least 5 newcomers next season, once Zico finds out I still got a trophy this year he'll most likely join up in his quest to stop my team winning anything ;D

Hey welcome aboard all you American continent based fans, a lot of new names sprouting up and this is good. It's good that you all find out about each other. There used to be a USA LSA run by Frank Duchoisis but he's been kinda busy with his running etc. comes on here occassionally. Will PM him to find out what happened to the QPR LSA, they did a run of some excellent Tee Shirts with 3/4 sleeves. still got mine as i wanted to support Frank and his efforts so bought two of them.

Definitely interested in some kind of North American supporters club. We could organise get-togethers once a season in random places around the continent. I can imagine this: Meeting up at one city in a good footy pub and watching the Hoops, then going to an MLS game in the same city the same day. Plus a little bit of sightseeing, photo ops and stuff.
There is a slight overlap of the MLS and English seasons, in April and September for example, so it would be possible. For the TV game we'd have to get some good inside knowledge of which games are being covered by ESPN2/FSC or whoever carries them in Canada.
Our local one here would be a short trip to Chicago, visit the excellent Globe Pub, and a game at Chicago Fire.
Here's a sample of the Chicago games this autumn that we could match up to QPR games.
Sun Aug 21 7pm Chicago v Toronto (we have a few Ontarian fans)
Sat Aug 27 8.30pm Chicago v Colorado
Sat Sep 17 4pm Chicago v Chivas USA
Sun Sep 25 4pm Chicago v New England (we have a few fans in MA)
Sat Oct 22 8.30pm Chicago v Columbus
As long as we don't get dumped onto a Monday night it shouldn't matter when we're playing. We'd just have to watch who we're playing. If it's a Europa League team, chances are they're playing later in the weekend.
What do you all think?

I'm in Hoboken, NJ. I lived in London for six years, in the Kilburn area, and since I've been back in the States I've supported QPR.

That Chicago trip would be a long one for me Would like to make it up that way some time though as that's the first place I ever lived in the USA. Like Lonegunmen said I'm pretty sure there is a QPR supporters club over here though I'm not sure how active they are. Fair warning if the Fire are playing same time as the WHITE SOX, I'll be at the Cell Definitely interested in some kind of North American supporters club.

If they're playing the same day but at a different time we could include that in the activities. Especially if they're playing the Tigers. I realise Chicago will be a journey for some (not exactly down the road for us) but we could rotate around different MLS venues. LA, Vancouver, Toronto, NY, Houston, etc. One per year. I called Chicago first as it's my idea ;oP
