Personally, I find it peculiarly annoying to have arrivistes like JS and Nourry coming in and effectively renaming our cave in away that just sounds stupid, and then the likes of Edwards following suit. Is nothing sacred?
(Answer - not in football, obviously.) |  |

Clearly not. Everyone knows it’s ‘Matrade’ Loftus. |  | | |

In the same way as I'm appalled at the ground being called "Loftus", I'm in a minority (perhaps of one) at the club being referred to as QPR!
When I started following the club almost everyone called us Queens Park Rangers or Rangers. You were going down The Bush or going down the Rangers, never going down to QPR.
It was the 1967 League Cup Final that introduced this abomination when The Football League adverised it as "The Alphabet Final". I've used the initials in songs/chants etc, but I'd be surprised if you found any post from me using them. Apart from to moan about them being used! | | | |

There was a Victorian author named George Loftus-Tottenham, I kid ye not.
I wonder who he supported ? |  | | |

They do this a lot in Brazil.. and it annoys the hell out of me. Whenever we get QPR on the TV with Brazilian coms here, they refer to us as Queens, which really riles me.
Facebook is called Face

Ahhggg
So "Loftus" is a big no for me.. |  | | |

It always reminds my of Lofty Holloway off Eastenders. A character with two QPR references in his name.

Don’t forget Wiksy. Another reference.
By the way - Loftus can do one in my house. [Post edited 19 Feb 19:41]

Same, we also used to talk about "the Rangers Roar."

PS there's a production company quite often credited on BBC radio called something like Loftus Productions - I've always presumed it had something to do with the old BBC building in Wood Lane, but also wondered if anyone involved was One Of Us | | | |

As mentioned, it was always 'going dahn the Rangers' when I was a younger version of myself. I rarely use the term QPR myself, though I've nothing against such terminology. | |

I imagine the next shortening will be LOFT. Then LO and eventually just L. | |

Does anyone know when 'QPR' became a thing?
Also, why are we QPR but West Brom never WBA, except in writing?
These things keep me awake in night. | |

QPR sounds great. It sounds right.
WBA...doesn't. | | | |
