Would only be a problem if we failed to exist in any form so not likely to happen,
My Scottish team is Dundee united as I live there now so that would not change.
Could never replace rangers if I move back south but as I love going to football I would go to a local non league team but it would never replace the R's, not ever.

I actually gave this some serious thought in the 2000's after we were relegated, to Div 3 ( old money).
And I could not decide what to do. I thought well maybe I could follow one of the big teams who win things
most years.
Then I decided I couldn't follow a northern team, it would have to be a London side.
Of course then I have to rule out Chelsea who were winning most things.
But then I think how can I support anyone else?
And suddenly I had this big gap in my life, NO FOOTBALL !!!
I can't just watch a game I have to want someone to win, so being a " soccer fan" ( american accent) was a no no.
I quickly realised it's like a loss in your life. Not on the same scale as losing a loved one, but massive hole that will never be filled.
I mean god this club tries us all, to the point of fury, but life without it .......................Unthinkable, Empty, Lonely, ...................Awful.
Scary init, how a football team get's under your skin?
We have nothing to gain, other than massive highs of pleasure or terrible pain.
It's a tribal thing, and like it or not everyone who loves QPR are part of the tribe, love them or hate them

Originally posted by Martinmalta View PostI just watch football. Relaxed and with no affection to any other team. I enjoy it without shouting or be angry with my PC. That way, will always be happy and leave all the tension to the rest. Still, I will not even like this to be a dream. The R's all the way.
Of course, if therw was a phooenix club from QPR I might be tempted to attend, but would prefer not to as I would not want to get emotionally attached to another team again as it is often to draining and no doubt be very frustrating.

I have invested too much interest, time, money and love in QPR to consider supporting any other team. In many ways it has shaped who I am, it was an unusual team to support in school in Essex growing up in the 80's, I was massively in the minority and people always questioned why the hell I would support QPR?!! Not much has changed, people still ask that question, it's a big part of my identity, I am never far from a radio, computer or a phone on match days, I can't imagine ever feeling this way about another club.

Under no circumstances would I follow one of the bigger Premier clubs.
I would firstly support what ever came out off a non League Queens Park Rangers, after 50 years its’s far to ingrained in me.
If that did not occur and I was going to support another club, It would depend largely on where we settle when we come back home from living abroad, Dorset and Sussex are our choices location wise, so maybe Bournemouth if it is Dorset, not sure if it’s Sussex as I am no lover of Brighton, Pompey and Southampton.
I have supported Rangers for 55 seasons, since March 1969.
