This is actually an important debate, and something that most posters here don't really realise.
This forum was created so that GP would have an arms-length mouthpiece forum. The 'rumours' (leaks) that Pete would post were a way of building up a following amongst the more credulous QPR fans. In turn, this forum was to form a core group of fans who faithfully supported the club's management, if often not the players and managers. Look at how the anti-Sousa stuff was spun on this board once GP decided he didn't like him.
Then we have the smears put out about other fans, other forums and so on. The whole process really did have a horrible effect on our fanbase.
We have ended up with this daft situation of a relatively small but incredibly divided fanbase. We have at least 6 active forums - a ridiculous amount for a club our size!
WATRBs is quite similar to how Ultras are treated in Italy. Favoured groups of fans gain access to players*, free tickets, insider info on transfers and whatnot. In return, they support the club's management, and not the players.
This is why in Italy you see gangs of Ultras terrorising players, but rarely criticising their club's often inept owners.
*someone ought to dig out that photo of GP, Ledesma, Scott Jones, FreeSeat and others in the British Queen

That ain't in the BQ. The cartoon pic of it was blinding.

London Pride has been handed down to us.
London Pride is a flower that's free.
London Pride means our own dear town to us,
And our pride it for ever will be.

Interesting post to say the least, makes a lot of sense too
Under Les Ferdinand:
Luke Freeman, top assists in the league: 4million
Alex Smithies, great goalie for this club: 3,5million
Charlie Austin, 19 Premier League goals: 4million
Jack Robinson: Contract ran out, left for free
And many more mistakes
