Yesterday I was walking around Málaga in my Rs walk on top. In the restaurant where we went for lunch some guy says "4-0 last night". Turns out they were a family from Belgium who had been at the Preston game the week before and totally loved the experience. Loved the atmosphere at LR. Showed me their photos with all the players etc.
When I left the restaurant the son shouted U Rs. It was a lovely moment to follow up Friday night.
Sure it's been done before but I'd love to hear some other random Rs Moments.... | | | |  |

Seeing a bloke in a Rangers top in the NYC Century 21 outlet about 6 years ago was pretty funny. | | | |

One of my daughters watched Friday's match in a bar on the Costa Del Sol. Sent me a pick of a blokes arm with a very big QPR tat. | |

I was sat in a square in Barcelona when I saw someone in a QPR top. Shouted You Rs, had a chat and thought no more of it.
First game of the season and he had a new season ticket three seats along from me | | | |

Replying to myself...confirmation of inclusion on the old timers thread! But, my daughter just returned and informs me she was watching the game when some lads walked in and she spotted the tat. Informing him her dad was a fan, he replied he was an S/T holder and pissed off to be missing the game. He also thought she was taking the pee and asked if she was winding him up? She took out her phone and showed him a pic of my grandson sat in his buggy outside my house; "look above Tommy's head",she said. He got a real surprise to see a Rangers flag flying over the porch.
Wonder are you on here squire? [Post edited 30 Apr 21:33]

I got on a bus in Sydney wearing my QPR shirt, the bus driver recognised it as his old mate used to play for us….Devon White. Very random R’s experience. | | | |

My son was wearing his QPR top at the ardara agricultural show and among the bullocks and heifers came a roar of UR's to be fair it scared the sh*t out him until he realised and was completely made up. | |

Was at the Ziwa rhino sanctuary in Uganda in early 2023, not wearing any QPR shirts but got talking to our wildlife guide who randomly knew every last detail about QPR as his English club - and watched as many games as he could. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of QPR and much of English football. Incredible. | | | |

Saw a Japanese guy at a music festival in Tokyo once wearing a QPR shirt. Didn't get a chance to talk to him though. | | | |

Not quite the same thing as previous posts, but...
about four years ago, calling at a petrol station just outside Morlaix in Brittany, the French chap at the desk asks 'You like football?' 'Yes'.
'Which team?'
'Queens Park Rangers'
'Ah. Stan Bowles' he said. | | | |

Oddest one of the many that have happened to me: I'm on way into the showers after a particularly sweaty cardio session in my gym in Yangon, Myanmar.
With just a towel around me, the new manager walked in as he was doing the rounds, conversation ensued and after establish our west London credentials, I asked him who he supported. You're clever people, you know what he said next.
Latest one: Mrs PH and I were in a framing shop in the town where we live in France. She's parlezing away to the server, whose husband appears to discuss the work. He's originally from Northolt...you know what happens next! | |

There was a guy who lived 10kms from me, another QPR supporter in 87. He's gone back to UK, now. So just me holding the Fort.
I've had some fun this week with 2 x Leeds supporters. | |
