out of town fans

[WarfieldHoop]

I've shelled out thousands over the last five years since i started going regularly, not that i regret an of it. I'm in Berkshire, about 30 miles from the bush and if anyone thinks i'm less of a supporter just because i'm out of town then i find that extremely insulting.

[LOOPYHOOP]

I'm from basingstoke,but I do shift work so I can't make a'lot of games,but I've been to Blackpool,bristol city and chelsea, oh and palace even though it was called off, and I'm going to swansea next weekend,so I go when I can.Some people can't make games because of commitments,it's not as black and white as you say unfortunatley...........

[lymehoop]

Askew Boy,

I live in Bucks and have had a season ticket for 27 years, also go to a good few away games???


What you saying?

[alexferguson60]

looking at the various boards tonight i see that loads of the berkshire/middx/herts etc mob who scraped tickets for their cup final coudnt be arsed to go today.

I like near Shepherd's Bush, and I'm glad I made it here. I want points.

fish you been at the tank water again? im thankful i dont live in bush.i lived in acton when i was a kid then we moved to another dump i now live in bucks.its blinding,i go into west london at least 2/3 times a week and have a night out that way at least once a week but im always thankful to come back this way.lets be honest bush is an absolute carsie.still if my old man didnt have the get up ang go to drag his way out of brisbane house id be one of those divs plotted outside the bookies drinking from a can and cadging the odd quid.

[m_cooper]

its all about the dire dross played at lr the past 2 seasons and the ticket prices,if we start winning fans will accept the ticket prices a little

[askewboy]

i seem to have upset a lot of posters so sorry lol.obviously i wasnt referring to those people who do go regularly,it was just that i was reading the mbs and saw that loads who went to chelsea didnt go saturday.
anyway i still stick to my other point that if you are not from the area or born into rangers then you cant feel how we feel about em. we had no choice.

I think I just heard the sound of a can of worms being opened

[m_cooper]

depends what you call "the area"i originally came from greenford and had lots of choices of team to support;but i chose qpr and glad i did been going for years1966-2008;i now live in somerset and am terminally ill and i am still as passionate as day 1 ;i am unable to go to matches now but i did go to exeter.so i suppose i am an armchair fan using your criteria

[vblockranger]

hmmmm went to school at John Betts down Paddenswick road and i think nearly the whole school supported rangers so guess your right , i was born into it, it wasnt a choice. BUT surely if you are not from the area originally and you CHOOSE rangers then that makes you no less of a supporter and in some cases maybe more of one?

[Gtleighsr3]

Dont go hardly at all now.Done shed loads of games over the years H/A and the shat ones away too.My family {Nan}is from Notting Hill so i geuss that dont make us local enough then and especially as we are all Essex based now.Geuss i will have to burn all the programes and stuff i acumilated over 35 years as i am not worthy enough.LOL deff some up their own a*se co*s on here.

[Nodge70]

We took 42,000 to the Milk Cup Final in 1986. Where are they now??

Fa.cking glory hunters the lot of them.....

And the 34,000 who went to the Play Off Final. F.acking glory hunters...


NB - This is irony. I also have more Panini stickers than you. Ergo I AM THE BETTER FAN...

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[m_cooper]

that game at wembley was a real low point,glad i was there"not"

[Gtleighsr3]

Didnt go to the Playoff final as couldnt face it after 82 and 86 which i attended, although as not local so really should of supported Oxford and the Spuds for the day.
