  • Ji sung park footballing culture

    I was speaking to a couple of korean chaps at the football yesterday both of whom had qpr tops on and park wrote on the back. I asked them how long have you supported qpr. There answer was only since he (park) arrived at the club, i find this bizzare what if he goes to another team does that mean you then support them. potentially it means that by signing a player you could massivly increase your fan base and if they sign for someone else then all the fans who like him go off down the road for another club. In british football culture you support the team not individuals. No player is bigger than the club no matter who ! if we signed messi tomorrow i still support qpr and cheer on messi whilst he played for us. Once he leaves im not going to got to another clubs ground and buy a shirt with his name on his back. Do you think that its the identity and mentality (tribalism) is what seperates the british from most other cultures
    The idea of giving an individual player this level of support is a strange concept to me.

    As some of the Koreans have pointed out here, many of their fans continued supporting Man Utd even after Park left. Maybe that'll be the same with us...

          Think the real test is when we are confirmed as going down.
