[glow=red,2,300]Morning all![/glow] I am sure I remember surfing the net back in the day and finding an American club with ties to Qpr, they even had a page about the history of our club, I am sure it was the late 1990's. Did they and what happened, are they still! oh, btw I have got the 67 cup final on DVD, is it something you require for your archive QPR,R?

thanks.. nothing official then? No it was official but never seemed to amount to anything Wednesday, 12 February, 2003, QPR clinch USA link QPR have announced details of a link-up with US outfit Milwaukee Wave. The deal, which was agreed in principle in December, follows talks between Rangers chief executive David Davies and Wave supremo Tim Krause. Wave, who are based in Wisconsin, are an indoor soccer side. But they will be fielding a Division Two outdoor team called Milwaukee Wave United in the A-League - the American equivalent of the English First Division - this season. Davies and Kraus were brought together by Brian Melzack, who fronted a consortium that almost took over at Loftus Road last year. The tie-up will initially involve the co-staging of Soccer Schools this summer, while players are likely to be exchanged between the two clubs as part of the arrangement. But the link may not end there. Krause has been approached about investing in QPR. He is one of several parties interested in a block of shares former Rangers chairman Chris Wright agreed to free up when the club came out of administration last year. The shares total around 25% and are also being eyed by an Italian group that has held talks with the club. Other interested parties include another former member of the Melzack consortium, and also local businessman Kevin McGrath, who recently joined the QPR board. BBC
