What does "giving back our club" mean?

[qblockpete]

olly on the pitch after that dramatic night v oldham
on the pa..he says "we are all qpr"
and we were together..the fans,club,players

It would be the same, if we got promoted now (longshot, I know)

Reality is, many questioned Holloway that season and the season before!! Vauxhall Motors the prime example.

Okay, to single out the good times, but I'd say when Flavio and Co first took-over, don't remember many complaining, off course you had the ones that wanted us to go into administration and start again, but majority were happy.

Is it me or do you continuously recycle the same posts all the time?

No this is a new one a trip back to the Olly glory years which included such highlights as Vauxhall Motours and our epic 4-0 defeat away to Swansea.

Great post.

The love I have for this club is slowly being killed off not by Flavio, Paladini, or even Agyemang, but by so called Qpr fans who just won't ever be happy.

For example in r block on saturday at the final whistle a large ammount of people started booing then they went potty cos the players were not clapping the fans (i was confused by just how stupid some people are.

Maybe if we all get behind the team instead of moaning they will give a crap about us.

Notts County fans now feel, how we did when Flavio first came in.

No guarantees and they could be jeering for Erikkson to leave this time next year, you just don't know.

Exactly!! Flavio and co knew they could raise there priceing what with all the excitment flying around the place when they took over! PEOPLE COMPLAINED BUT THEY PAID IT!! Atleast for that season and they knew we would...

Now they aint gonna turn around and say "right you arnt as excited now so we'll drop prices".... Afterall our wage bill now is triple what it would have been a few years ago!!... Ticket prices might be edged down abit in slight areas but certainly wont be going down anytime soon...

Remember a certain Lua Lua scoring 4, when lost at home heavily to Colchester United, yes Colchester !! (sure it was 1-5??)

Plus at home to Cardiff 4-0 and Robbie Earnshaw scoing a hat-trick.

its okay, cos that cost us £15 per match

Now, we complain if we cannot thump Peterborough United at home 4-0 !!

Yes, I find it hilarious that fans expect to be clapped by the players for booing them too.

NOW its too expensive
so many don't come
the fun and laughs have completely gone..the few just get smashed drunk outside the bok, abusing any who pass by or comment...
i hate the stewards
i hate how serious it has all got
i hate the spin
i hate ali russell
some die hards don't come after yrs!!
families priced out

I dont think these are issues unique to QPR Fans! Football has changed and if we want to keep up and not get left behind we need a wealthy benefactor behind us. We simply are not a big enough club or have a big enough fan base to justify a position in the top flight. Look at teams like Leeds without Flavio there is no Bernie or more impotantly the Mittals. Fans will always moan, Chelsea fans are a graet example! In terms of not having a laugh lots of people are having a laugh at the moment! Jim and the players mainly! Lets suppose they left and we were skint again! Yeh great prices would come down but all the decent players would leave and we would be losing to teams like Vauxhall Motors again! NO F*CKING THANKS!

Rangered, I always like your posts but so what if the fans don't feel they have anything in common with Flavio? How much do Chelsea fans have in common with Abramovich for goodness sake, or fans have with the money men now behind Notts County, or any other club you cd mention that is reasonably successful? If you wd really be happy in the third or fourth tier then fair enough, I respect your opinion, but TBH I was completely miserable in the second division. I found it humiliating when we were turned over by clubs like Hartlepool and when Gillingham away seemed like a frightening fixture. The club has been run badly since the takeover but that's a different matter - for me I'd rather have rich people owning the club who can invest in it than poor people. I might not like them hugely on a personal basis, but so what?

A 0-0 at home to Cambridge United sticks long in the memory and look at them now

[stainrodisalegend]

I love Rangers fans but sometimes they sound like a couple of old dears with fags hanging out of the corners of their mouths listening to Vera Lynn records going on about "ooh, it was really hard in the war, all my family got shot and me house got bombed but how I miss those days, they were the best of my life..."
"Oooh, I know, pet..."

A pasting away to Chesterfield 4-2 i think was a very low point.

Well depends which way you look it....in terms of having things in common you get a lot of owners/chairmen who are supporters themselves, our owners havent the first clue about football, its not there thing!!

Chelsea and notts county have nothing in common with there owners but there judgement is clouded by the fact they are doing well and winning things, there fans are currently on cloud 9, im sure for all they care they could be currently being run by ronald Mcdonald himself but as long as there doing as well as they are, whats to grumble about!?

If Chelsea dont win anything this season or drop in the table there fans would be saying the exact same things as us...

Indeed, we often looked like a v bad pub side. I remember seeing John Curtis and just thinking "he is one of the worst footballers I've ever seen", and leaving in utter despair saying "why do we do it to ourselves, punishing ourselves watching that junk just because we used to love watching us play."
For every fan who says "my mate doesn't bother coming any more" I took an old friend on Saturday who used to be regular but got fed up with the hoof ball under the now sainted Ian Holloway and said he wasn't going again; this Saturday, although disapointed by all the obvious things like lack of a proper striker etc came away drooling about Watson etc and said if it was like this every week he might come back again.
So there are two sides to all of this...
