Anybody seen this before???
Article from April this year.....Why are QPR hated??...Going over old ground about how Rangers fans cheered Man City's winner for
the title amongst other things.
There is one response though that must be from a Fulham/Chelsea or Brentford fan, that obviously has been told bits about us but clearly
knows F-all. Trying to make himself look intelligent and has ended up a clown. The bit in red is the part i'm thinking of
I’ll never understand how QPR always manage to pull off the pretence of being universally liked with journalists while airbrushing the predatory aspects of their recent history from their memories.
In 1967 Brentford hit financial problems. QPR tried to buy Griffin Park from under them, a move that would have almost certainly finished Brentford’s existence as a club. Fortunately Brentford managed to rebuff their approaches.
The early 80s arrived and this time it was Chelsea and Fulham in financial difficulties. First they expressed an interest in buying Craven Cottage in a similar fashion to the 1967 attack on Brentford. When that was turned down they proposed a merger between QPR, Chelsea and Fulham.

The late 80s saw them announce plans to ‘merge’ with Reading, build a ground in Slough and call the resulting club, Thames Valley Rangers. When the Football League finally grew a pair and told them that if it happened, they would have to start life in Division 4, the Chairman of the time decided that he wasn’t that interested after all, and his week long PR assault through the pages of the Evening Standard had just been exploring the level of feeling for the idea. Yeah, right.
So take your head out of the sand. QPR are not the nice fluffy small club they like you to believe. Due to that awful ground, they are one of the most predatory clubs around given half a chance, and there are still many fans of Brentford, Fulham and Reading for whom not enough misfortune could possibly befall the Rah-Rahs!
