Not fair really!!

[Yousef]

agree ,its a nothing game
even if we win we cant exactly brag about beating their reserves and if we lose (which we probably will) then we get laughed at for losing to their reserves :(
as long as we dont get any injuries and we dont get so bad a tonking it effects the players confidence then i dont really care. We are not exactly rivals in any way with them these days

Leeds (League 1) vs. Liverpool (Premier League)
Chelsea (Premier League) vs. QPR (Championship)

Can you explain why the 1st game will be broadcasted?

[Rieger]

Leeds and Liverpool are bigger clubs.

Far more interesting for the viewers.
Bigger clubs, more chance of an upset... if I were a neutral, I'd rather watch that game.

[Yousef]

Wolves bigger than QPR?

[Gtleighsr3]

because the whole country loves Beckford and we all want to drool over his play...............

[Robbo]

Wolves bigger than QPR?

Erm... Yes.


And Leeds, and Liverpool.

[Gtleighsr3]

Wolves bigger than QPR?

Yes

[sirpiechucker]

At Elland Road there is a bigger potential upset then there is for QPR at Stamford Bridge.

Both teams have large support and large sets of haters meaning that far more will tune in then they would for us versus Chelsea.

Yoss we are a small club belive it or not,shocking i know,nearly fell over when i found out

[Yousef]

Small or big. even If we play in none league, QPR till I die

With respect... that's not really the basis that Sky TV use to chose their games.

Most non QPR people and a lot of Chelsea fans can't understand why there is still a 'rivalry' between QPR and Chelsea. We hate them, but to be honest they don't give two hoots about us. Barry, my Chelsea supporting mate has been going since the early 70s doesn't understand why QPR fans still cling to it. It's probably the same reasoning for Sky.

63% of Chelsea fans are called Barry.
Little known fact.


I know one as well, from Witham, Essex.
There are 126, in Witham alone.

QPR till I die absolutely
cant get away from the fact that Wolves v Man U is a much bigger draw for television than QPR v Chelsea at the moment and the schedulers have to consider what game their potential advertisers would want featured

If you go back to my first post, I said OLD RIVALS.
