Anyone Else Not Really Bothered With Premier League?

Preferred being able to go to any game I wanted to rather than having to save up for Wigan at home and away tbh. Seriously, whatever happens, this will be so much less fun than following the Rs in the third tier...

I can't understand people saying they would rather be back in the championship (what, losing the odd game?) because that is what would need to happen otherwise heaven forbid we might gain promotion to the prem Lge.
What would be the point of playing? Surely being in the championship all players try their best in order they can get out of there.

But being able to go to games meant that I felt part of the club and could look forward to taking my son to LR now, I can't even afford me to go let alone take him, which means that we will be no better than all the armchair Chelsea, Arsenal and Man U fans out there. At least I would have been able to tell him that, although QPR may not be as good as his mates teams, he was a REAL fan, 'cos he went to games. Not now, so what's the point in him supporting a losing team from home?

Of course I'll try and keep him on the straight and narrow, but its going to be a losing battle I fear...

Well I know one thing for certain that is very very unlikely..

We're not gonna be singing- 'we're Queens Park Rangers, we're top of the league' for a while

For me, the matchday experience is primarily the game, but much more besides.
Living so far away from LR, there are a lot of friends we only see at football, and mainly at away games because we sit in different parts of LR. For various reasons, we would not otherwise get to see them.
It's also the only time I get to spend with my son!! If we cannot afford, or obtain, tickets for away games, this precious part of our lives will go.
