The tea bar in the corner of the loft. The solace of the halfway line when you got attacked by away fans by the tea bar in the corner of the loft. The wonky legged ex chels fan in the loft.
Happy Days.

I was almost there!

1/ Never trying to rise to a level above their standing.
2/ Never giving their fans false hopes.
3/ Having fans who for whatever and all the lumps and bruises, remain loyal.

1) Being my local team 2) A history of charismatic No 10s 3) The roar of Loftus Road when Furlong scored against Oldham

When I started watching QPR, it was just EXCITING to watch QPR. We played good, attacking football.
We played in Hoops not stripes; We had Marsh and the Morgans
One vaguely knew who the manager was; but it wasn't the obsession of today.At the same time, felt the manager WAS the club.
And of course we usually won. Proving at an early age, that good does triumph over evil!
(That changed!)

Queens Park Rangers - A romantic name. Blue & White Hoops - Distictive colours My personal space in the Loft. You didn't need to have your name there as we do on out current day seats. That little piece of terracing was yours week in, week out & nobody tried to stand in it, except away fans!

1. Reg Allen - goalkeeper supreme 2. Mark Lazarus - our best ever 'character' 3. Terracing

I'm afraid this should have been titled '3 things you loved' about QPR.
-The Number 10 and its association with some footballing magicians.
-The humbleness and approachability of the players. They would always talk to you and they played such attractive football.
-The 'real' supporters you got to know week in week out. They came not because we were on TV every week or we had a Korean player, they came because.....well just because.... the magic of supporting QPR was over and above any 'marketing hype' or telling us 'we were QPR'. We came because 'We were QPR'

The muddy embankment before sar was built. The gang of postmen who stood at the halfway line. The cheer we used to give dave thomas when he came over to the halfway line to start a game.
