Last summer whilst in Barbados attending the final day of the Cropover festival in Bridgetown, had my boy wearing his Rangers shirt, so that we had more chance of spotting him if he got lost. Anyway, walking down the main road towards the Kensington Oval, with loads of people, bands, dancers, suddenly there was a big "YOU R's!" Come from our right. A Barbadian sauntered over an shook our hands and revealed that at the age of 11 hits family migrated to England in the late 60's and settled in Conningham Road and quickly became a Rangers fan regularly being taken down to LR by his Dad to see Rodney Marsh and then his hero, Stan. Had a good chat with him a a couple of bottles of beer, before continuing with the parade. | |

Last night I had one such encounter. A bloke who has played football with me for years turned up in a Rangers training top (the black and grey one). I think he is mainly a Man U fan but his son has QPR leanings because he bought the top for his dad (or perhaps it was all a cruel p1ss take  ).

I was in a shared minibus/taxi type thing from a town on the Albania/Macedonia border going through to Tirane. Ended up sitting next to an Albanian bloke who knew loads about the Rs as he had started following them because a bloke he worked with at the British embassy supported them. And he bought me a beer. Top stuff. |  |

Can’t remember exactly where (somewhere in the hills surrounding Marbella) but ate in a restaurant run by a Rs fan and his (scum supporting) dad, Pics and memorabilia everywhere
Also drank in a boozer somewhere in Essex many years ago that was run by a QPR nut! |  | | |

Promotion day 30th April 2011 (yes I did have to look it up  )
As some royal event was going on, I had booked a weekend away in republican France.
Anyhow, I was in Notre Dame cathedral (again) and I came across a grumpy looking bloke sitting on the base of a plinth in a Rangers' shirt. Had a brief chat, I don't think he was a regular (I am.) He was not enjoying 'being dragged about places like this by the wife' but thought we might do something at Watford later that day.
Someone on here? |  | | |

Nepal 1979, South Col just passed 28,000ft when we met up with a chap wearing a Rangers shirt. Sensible type of fellah, long sleeves. | |

2 years ago in the marketplace in antalya turkey. Totally random meet up. He was reading a Harry Redknapp book. I started talking to him thinking he was a spurs fan but rangers through and through. | | | |

Whilst working in Denmark I discovered by accident the Danish R's in Copenhagen a great group of lads who met up each month when the Rs were playing and on TV. Quickly learnt that it was not always easy to watch us on TV even if we were on because not pubs were that interested in screening anything that wasnt one of the "big" English sides.
In China I worked with another QPR lad in my office there (we made 2 in Beijing at that time). Amazingly as I arrived another QPR fan left.
Bumped into him again last year in one of our offices in Russia. |  |

Living in Penzance I expected to be the only R in the village but I've randomly met quite a few who live here as well. A neighbour just around the corner from where we now live. And Joel, who'd been playing tennis on the court next to me and my son for some time and had a green and white hooped shirt I decided looked like our away kit at that time but thought no more until he turned up in a blue and white hooped shirt. Turned out he was QPR and so was his dad who I had acted for when I was conveyancing and also his dad's dad as well who I'd known when he was alive. Beeb, who has a spud van at the top of town is a QPR supporter and he knows a different group of QPR supporters here than I do. A customer who came through the till I was working at and I saw a blue and white shirt under his coat and asked if that was QPR and turned out it was. I was also having a random football conversation with a customer and mentioned QPR and a couple at the back of the queue piped up that they were QPR and are in the Isles of Scilly. I think I now know at least 20 or so down here
I saw a couple of lads in QPR shirts as I passed through Birmingham New Street on the way to Wales a couple of years ago but we were playing Birmingham that day so was expecting I might see some [Post edited 3 Jun 2016 19:01]

Back in the mid 90's I was backpacking round the world. I spent most of the trip wearing a qpr beanie hat. Via said hat I met a couple of hoops fans. The first was a guy from Ealing who I met in the Salvation Army hostel in Bombay. I have seen him a couple of times since at home games. The second guy I met was even more remote, I was on an island called Gili Twanagan, which is off the coast of Lombok in Indonesia. Started off just chatting as two Londoners, as he was from Dagenham, so I mention he must support West Ham, but no, it says he is a qpr fan. Anyway we spent the next few weeks kicking around together, eventually he headed to Hong Kong and I went to Australia. | | | |

It wasn't to me but one of my mates.He was on holiday in Jamaica or Barbados>.one of the Island's anyway.He went on this excursion up a mountain and there was a bar and disco on the top.The DJ was a big rasta with an impressive set of dreads.
He heard my mate speak and asked him where he was from. 'London' my mate answered.
'What part a London?'
'Hounslow near the Airport.'
The DJ said' Das not London man, das Middlesex'
''What team ya support?''
''Fulham'' answered my mate
The fella sucked his teeth said ''Raaass man A''m Rangers man''

I sat waiting for a bus in St George's, Grenada wearing a QPR shirt. A local woman who must've been in her 60s recognised the shirt and came over, started asking where I was from etc. Turned out she used to live on Oaklands Grove which is the next road from where I lived at the time (Ormiston Grove).
Also I was walking down a road in Daegu, South Korea wearing the hoops (the day after I'd been to watch Senegal v Denmark in 2002 World Cup) when a bloke on the other side of the road shouted "You Rs" at me. |  | | |
