Virgin staff & police prevent young QPR fans from meeting players on train

[Stanley]

Now the headline has been changed to a more truthfully accurate one it's not quite so tabloid-yellow. Funny that aint it.

I still reckon harry had something to do with it, was probably getting a back hander off the filth for making it look like they are competent at there jobs,

[West Acton]

wow just clocked his pic on top of the article!! man he is one ugly dude and I am assuming that is a pic he chose cause he thought he looked decent in it so hes probably uglier than that which scares me

[Kirill]

Shouldn't employ virgins then.

Article by Adrian "the bell'end, c0ck munching, ballbag eared fruit cake who never has a good word to say about QPR" Durham. Don't know what's worse, firstly I'd never listen to Durham full stop, but he's also a ginger FFS! Why people.....

Really can't believe so many supporters believe what's printed in the rags as gospel.

Tad harsh on the train employees & police to have their lack of sexual adventure brought ito the headline. Not sure that really has anything to do with the story?

I was on the train, it was the 1847 to Euston. I was in the line waiting to board when a few of the squad and some backroom staff walked past towards the front of the train presumably to first class. During the journey 2 young lads, maybe around 10 years old, went to first class to try and get an autograph. After while they rteurned and told their Dad that the "security" had stopped them going into the carriage. When we arrived at euston the boys ran off to try and meet the players at the front.

As far as I am aware at no time did any player refuse to sign an autograph. In fact there were only a few of the players on board, which did puzzle us a bit, where were the others?

Durham is a complete tool as far as I'm concerned, so if the"security" was not Rangers its not the clubs or players fault. The boys by the way did not seem upset at all. Its a non story.

Oh dear, I was trying to make it less sensationalist but it's had the opposite effect! Blame the Branson!

Some players are from that neck of the woods so assume the likes of Barton and Simpson would have stayed up north

I have been on the same train as the players a couple of times this season in first class and it seems the club block book a carriage for players and various staff and although you may have reason to pass through the carriage the entrances are as a rule "guarded" by club officials

Does not bother me in the slightest as I have no desire for a picture or autograph at my age but if true its a shame that kids have to miss out seeing their idols even though I can see the clubs position in not wanting a load of sometimes drunk fans pestering them all the way home

I'm 46 and I had my pic taken with Charlie on the way back from Leeds and I loved it!

Young QPR fans were not allowed to meet the players on the train

Before I post the quotes may I remind you that this was written by Adrian Durham of TalkShyte. Could be complete BS. Understandable if true though, doubt the players would be in the mood for autographs after that hiding.

"If you want an example of a club lost in its own deluded world of self-importance, I give you Queens Park Rangers, ladies and gentlemen....

Once on board some excited young QPR fans aged around nine or 10 ran towards the front of the train, hoping to get autographs from their ‘heroes’. They were stopped and told that security would not let them through. They were then advised that once the train arrived at Euston if they were quick they might catch the players then.
Let’s get this straight: QPR fans were still willing to idolise the players who had been embarrassingly dreadful at Everton but were denied that chance because those players apparently needed to be left alone.
Players are lost in a world where they think they’re really important, even when they’re actually being rubbish at their jobs."
