re: How did you become a fan of your club?

Dad was born in Shepherd's Bush, blocks away from Loftus Road. Lifelong tortured R's fan, following from the US.
I watched a lot of soccer growing up and followed QPR and the Premier League through my dad and his soccer friends, but wasn't really emotionally invested in QPR until 2010-11 season, when we started seeing a few games on live TV and promotion actually looked attainable.
We went over for two games late in the season and were there to invade the pitch as we (essentially) clinched promotion to return to the EPL for the first time in 15 years. Have been hooked ever since.
Of course since then we've been relegated, promoted, and relegated again. That playoff final win at Wembley last year could very well be the greatest QPR moment we'll see.
Anyone who chooses QPR as their team is a glutton for punishment.
