Q: Hi Sean! Hope all is well :) So how long have you been a QPR fan?

A: 51 years...since the 1973/74 season. It was the first season back in the old first team and I liked the idea of supporting a London team that had been promoted. I lived in Brixton South London so QPR weren't that far away.

Q: What is your most favourite QPR memory to date? A: There's so many and it's so hard to pick one so I have gone and picked three instead: - The 1975/76 season. I remember listening to that final Liverpool vs Wolves game on the transistor radio. We came so close!! - The 2010-11 promotion season under Neil Warnock and watching every second of every match on QPR+ - and, of course, the 2014 Play Off final vs Derby, watching the game with fellow Hoops Down Under Members; Fergal and Neil. What a game!

Q: Who is your all time favourite QPR Player? And Why?

A: Two contenders Stan the Man or Adel... but Stan pips it, just. Both Masters in their time on the football pitch!

Q: Who is your all time favourite QPR Manager? And Why?

A: Dave Sexton or Neil Warnock. Quite simply for what they did for our club and their incredible achievements!

Q: Who is your current favourite QPR Player? And Why?

A: Jonathan Varane - I think he looked pure class at times last season and I am hoping he stays and fulfils expectations for the coming season!

Q: Where would you like to see QPR in say, 5 years time (2030-31)? How do QPR reach this achievement? A: In the Premiership and settled there! I'd love to see stability with steady growth and a focus on youth.
