Post by QPR Report on Aug 5, 2009 10:04:03 GMT
I was reading this guy bazwot's post on LFW re Membersip Info www.clubfanzine.com/QPR/v2.forum.posts.php?id_t=123815#1 Anyway I see you can sign up for the Official Supporters Club and its own website www.werqpr.com/home.html It looks like the club is promoting the Official Supporter Club - And if you go to the Official Site www.qpr.co.uk/page/OfficialSupportersClubIndex/0,,10373,00.html "...The OSC is affiliated to the Club rather than being an independent, or political body. The OSC works with the co-operation of the Club to organise events, with the purpose of providing good social and enjoyable evenings for supporters, while at the same time raising money. Our aim is to be of assistance to both the Club and QPR supporters, to act as a good channel of communication between supporters and the Club" So there's LSA and QPR1st which are independent. And OSC - And then the various messageboards from Indys to WATRB. And then the "Coalition" One QPR .... And just seems that this is an increased club "promotion" of OSC. Anyway I presume some people on here are involved with OSC? |

We have far to many supporters clubs as it is.
FO QPR and the LSA main function is away day travel which they do brilliantly, last season they worked together to run joint coaches.
How many members does QPR 1st have?
By the time the One QPR minutes were back from the last meeting most of the stuff was out of date hardly a decent way to deal with the fan base.
In all honesty the club could simply run two or three fans forums each year which would keep everyone happy and a decent line of communications.
To many of our fans groups have agendas, axes to grind or waste time talking about crap subjects when given the opportunity.

Like it or not people try and do their best at meetings and if anything them meetings have brought people back together again in some ways. To say they talk crap is just disrespectful in my eyes they all do their best as i say. |

No critique. But is there a new relationship between the Club and the OSC? Or is it just more publicized/promoted on the Official Site? Or is it the same as ever, and just noticing it more. I don't think that's the case

Oh come on Paul possibly crap was a harsh way of putting things but no doubt some of the groups do bring up some pretty pointless viewpoints.
Going back a few years ago I read that a fan had complained about the temperature of the half time pies at Loftus Road.
Three fans forums a year would give everyone a chance to air there views and could be communicated back to the fan base much quicker than the last set of minutes the One QPR (or is it our QPR cant remember lost track) that appeared a while ago.

Well the pies i am not sure about but when i was a rep for the LSA we would ask people for things they had concerns about and put them too the club.
Some way have been a bit odd at times but we asked what some members felt was inportant to them.
The fans forums i agree 100 per cent with been too long without one and gives all a chance.
Hope they do one soon.

Belonged to the club for quite a while,have a couple of badges somewhere, which I think are from there. Would get preferential treatment for tickets. After Daphne Biggs passed it was never the same. She would be on most of the buses, organise and Mother Hen. Also you could call her number and she would be sitting in front of tv and tell me whats going on with game. Then she,d go upstairs to game and call me when she got back. Oh they got a goal, or we won. After her, there was someone who lasted a year, and then I quit.
lost interest, as it was never the same.,for me.

Always remember how she tried to cheer everybody up on the coach coming back from Old Trafford after the 8-1. Lovely lady. |

When i first came over and went to games she always looked after me on the coach and was never shy in hammering me when she felt the need.
When we did the flowers for her funeral it was one of the hardest things i have done.
She alone made sure that a wee runt of a Irish kid made friends and was made welcome into the QPR family.
She was a one off and someone who i miss a lot when going to QPR.

She used to say, you miss QPR and you dont like Us too much, well I would talk about the old days. You know she lived in Park Parade
Harlesden, her whole life even after the neighbourhood completeley changed. Park Parade is off Harlesden High St and old happy grounds for us. On one bus ride back from Anfield we passed her house but she went on to S. Africa Rd and made sure we all knew how to go etc.

Another memory of Daphne was coming to support the OSC team when we reached finals and such of which I was a member of in the 70s, 80s & early 90s. Of course my first memory of her was when I was seven and she would let me help in the club shop (well thats what I thought I was doing) on a match day which was the white hut at the top of the South Africa Rd terracing. Happy Days  |

From about 13-14 years ago QPR Official Site
QPR SUPPORTERS' CLUB SECTIONThis is the new section on the official QPR website for the QPR Supporters Club. News about the Supporters Club will appear in this section shortly. Latest News from the Supporters Club We have recently 'adopted' two independent football teams, Accrington Stanley Bowles (ASB for short) who are QPR's internet representatives, and a QPR supporters team who play in a Hayes District Sunday league side, with the idea being to publicise these teams and to encourage more fan participation regarding these sides. Closer links between the two teams hope to be achieved and at the end of the season there will be a charity football 'extravaganza' between these teams, and hopefully with an LSA team, in which a 'round robin' theme is being looked into. Here's a statement from Fletcher Easton, who is the Manager of ASB. He explains: "ASB are a group of loyal QPR Supporters banded together many moons ago by the formidable Justin "Juzza" Pieris. Managed by him until three years ago, they dominated the Internet Football League and Cup competitions. In 1998/1999, John Hotti took over from Juzza, who remained part of ASB but further off-spring demanded more time at home. John, known as Chillie took up the mantle to further ASBs footballing success and so it was that he continued the glory of QPRs successful Internet side by winning the League again and reaching the finals of Worldnet, the FA Cup of the IFA. The team consists of a group of people unified in one way. Their love for Queens Park Rangers. Had it not been for the formation of the team, it could be said that marriages would not have taken place, friends would have not have been made and QPR's away support would be a little less! All the internet games are played on a Saturday and mainly against the same opposition as QPR on the same day. For instance, we played Luton before the crazy cup game at Kenilworth Road. Luton are one of the high fliers in the league place third while we are currently at the top of the IFA League. The game ended in 2-2 and proves that Luton (Internet Hatters), ASB and a couple of other sides will be the battlers for the championship this season. There are now more than 40 Internet teams throughout the country and QPR are probably the first professional club to embrace Internet Football and acknowledge ASB as part of their camp. Now known as an official Supporters team, ASB will continue to carry the flag for QPR and friendly football throughout ours and their travels! ASB is now managed by myself, known as Zorro - everyone has a nickname and there is a reason for that name, but this one would take too long, just keep an eye on Sky One! As ever we are always looking to strengthen the team and whether of a Sunday League standard or just a kickabout fan we are always looking to give people a go. After all if you don't try you'll never know. Contact ASB through our website on www.qpr.org/asb or mail myself fletcher.easton@tesco.net. Volunteers Needed Are there any fans out there who will have an hour or so to spare before the game against Grimsby on Saturday March 17th? If so, volunteers are needed to help with a bucket collection for the meningitis research foundation charity. Any help would be much appreciated either contact us on our supporters club email address or come and find one of us at a forthcoming game. Darts Competition A Darts Competition has been arranged to take place between the Supporters Club and the Loyal Supporters Association at the White City Community Centre, India Way, W12 on the evening of Friday March 9th. The cost is �per person and all proceeds will be going to the meningitis charity. So if you fancy a game, come along for an enjoyable social evening. Player of the Year Dinner Dance The date and venue for this season's player of the year dinner dance is on Saturday April 7th at the Novatel, Hammersmith. Doors open at 7.15pm, dinner at 8pm. A disco and late bar will be available until 1am. Tickets are �.50 per person. Telephone 020 8740 2581/2588 for further details. If you have a question about the Supporters' Club please get in touch! You can send us an email - qprsuppclub@hotmail.com or come up to us and say hello at a game. If you are not sure who we are we all have badges to identify us at Loftus Road, or check us out in the picture. The QPR Supporters' Club are pictured above in the Loftus Road dugout. Starting from the back row, left to right, the committee are: Back Row: Mick Hayward: Committee Member, Ron Bannister: Events, Pat Harrison: Charities, Alice Deegan: Committee Member, Stephen O'Shea: Members Areas. Front Row: Maria Neale: Reciprocals, Daphne Biggs: Secretary, Paul Reilly: Chairman, Tracy Stent: Communications, Leon Stent: Travel. John Reilly Committee Member (not pictured) Members of the Supporters' Club Committee either have a specific area of responsibility (which is indicated after their name) or are general committee members who work on varied projects. The Supporters Club has already raised thousands of pounds for this season's nominated charity - The Meningitis Research Foundation - as well as organising successful events such as the recent fans forum and a very succesful quiz night. Keep checking the news at the top of this page for the latest info on what we are up to. |
