Comment | Dismantling my QPR ideal
at 19:21:56
Very good article and some interesting debate. I agree very much with Toast_R that we should be welcoming new fans, educating them and encouraging them to become attached to the club. I know of several foreign fans who came to QPR just to see some English football - not any particular player - but are now fans.
Yes, it is very likely that a lot of Korean fans will follow us only so long as Park plays for us, but if we welcome them into our community then perhaps some will take the club itself to heart. As for the person who commented online at the Wycombe game asking "who is Wycombe's number 7?" - did anyone give him an answer, or did he just get abuse? That's an example of a potential fellow Ranger expressly asking to be educated on the club's history, and we really should be encouraging this.
At the end of the day the club needs to build revenue to grow and bring success, but we shouldn't see new fans simply in these terms. They may not share our knowledge and experience of the club now, but show them kindness and empathy and they can become a part of the QPR family for years to come. I don't think it's in anyones interests to try and make QPR some kind of exclusive members club where outsiders arn't welcomed. |

Comment | The devil will find work for Joey’s idle hands — guest column

Joey also claims that Rangers fans were singing "He tweets what he wants" about him on Saturday. I certainly didn't hear any, and don't know of any QPR fans that would feel like encouraging him. Maybe he just made it up in the hope it will catch on. Bloody hope not. |
