Who decides what a real fan is?

[MattyRangers]

Nah, you need Queens Park Rangers Football Club 1882 tattoo'd or you are not a true fan

Even wrapping the text around like the pattern on a barbers pole I would struggle to fit "Queens" on my gherkin

There's no definition of a real different people will have a different perspective. Some will say if you don't go to games ect. IMO aslong as you support the club and follow traditions then you are a real fan. This doesn't mean you have to go to every game or travel just know what the deal is lol. However I came across a qpr fan when it was bayern vs sc*m he asked why I'm cheering bayern not Chelsea I replied I hate them he then said really? I like them after that he is not a real fan.

[spank the monkey]

i was travelling to the ground with my son by train for a midweek game and there were about 5 or 6 young lads heading there too, they start talking about how much qpr means to them and this middle aged guy who'd been watching them rolled up his sleave to reveal a tensed bicep with qpr tattoo and says..

"rangers boys eh?....i live it!"

one of the boys asks him " are you going to the game?"

my son and i nearly fell out of the door at east acton as he replies

" nah, not tonight...i'm meeting my girlfriend"

whataknob

" nah, not tonight...i'm meeting my girlfriend"

At least he got a girlfriend

[spank the monkey]

At least he got a girlfriend

dunno kirill, i think after "i live it" it was possibly his 2nd lie of the journey!

speaking of funny things i've seen on the train to games a few months ago the bloke next to me picks up his mates child who can only be 3 or 4 and holds him up to let the boy hang on the handrail

the tiny kid grips the bar fine but matey decides to prove he's the stupidest pr*ck on the train by going to tickle the kids underarm, tiny-kid instinctively lets go to draw his arms in and drops straight to the deck twisting both ankles!

how my son and i held it together while the dad comforted his son and looked at his mate in a classic "wtf were you thinking" way as numbnuts tried to play it down i'll never know

feel bad for the kid but the memory of this moment of madness still has me grinning from ear to ear

wham!

I was on the train to Tranmere away with me old man when we were in Div 2 and there was a Rangers fan sat opposite us in his pjama bottoms and slippers. Said he had woken up late and decided he fancied going to the game, rolled outta bed, chucked a coat on and just strolled to the station. Was a freezing cold day n all.

Come to think of it, that werent you Ted was it?!

Imo a real fan does two things -

Supports the team - Even if that's not at Loftus Road, as long as the person doesn't go on twitter/facebook/forums being a negative person all the time
Puts money back into the club - If that be going to Loftus Road every game or 2 games a season (Whatever you can do) or buying stuff from the online store

yup i'd agree with that. each to their own, support manifests itself in different ways!

and apologies i wasn't at the bognor regis v qpr game in nineteen-canteen when the rain was torrential and there was one and a half r's fans attending plus some toothless guy with an eighteenth century rangers top on who was mute and holding onto some dog in the background which was staggering about looking for a place to die...

"Who decides what a real fan is?."

i happen to know the answer to this, it's is a short fat ugly bird with short bleach blonde hair who hangs about the lower loft in a hi-vis with steward written on the back

her, she decides

If she throws you out, you're a real fan. Bit like the trial by ducking witch ordeal.

This board bashes anyone who comes on that is a known poster and in anyway criticises the club.

So what if someone dared to ask if Fulham are bigger than the Rs
Fulham got to the Uefa cup final a few years, when have the Rs done that?

I remember last year when i questioned our performance against chelsea in the 1-0 win and that i thought we were crap in the 2nd half against their 9 men and was worried.
I got totally slated for not being a real fan, who cares we won thats all that matters etc etc...
well our form dropped, we lost our next 4, and didn't win a league game until 3 months later and just escaped relegation on the last day

Are you only a real fan if you say positive things?
Doesn't matter if you have a season ticket, support the club during the matches and to others but want to ask a question or give an opinion on a DISCUSSION forum

WARTB - is that really what you want to show people
You are not a real fan if you criticise???

Trouble is me old mucker is that so called rangers fan was a foolham fan!
