QPR Problem

[Green Cross Code Man]

I'm worried for her having a parent who uses the word "gotten" as if it means something in English.

Are you kidding? Good enough for Shakespeare, it's good enough for me. It is just a word that fell out of use over here. No use getting sniffy at the Americans for it, it is a GREAT English word.

her age is relevant because ?

First game you say?


Tell her QPR will be playing in yellow and make sure she cheers loudly

My 25 year old daughter lives 300 yards from Loftus road, poor thing.

She's not into football but her and her housemates have gotten tickets for Tuesday night and will be supporting the hooped chavvers. It's her first ever football game.

I love my daughter of course, but I'm not happy...

Any suggestions how I should handle this?

Do they have some space so I can stay the night?

I would be more worried about your daughter living in that arm pit of of London.

It is no worse than many other parts of London and often went to Loftus Road when I lived in West London.

Let her go and enjoy herself, especially as the tickets are free. I like "free".

It's an option - but - apart from the love I have for her... I kinda respect her supporting her local club...

Difficult

First one is OK, you need to get some loyalty to Brighton over the local club rubbish

Not exactly Fulham though.
Wouldn't be my first choice of London areas to live in, or London stadiums to visit.

Been to QPR at least 3 times, and it's a completely different atmosphere inside and outside of the stadium, never felt 100% comfortable in that area. This is compared to visiting Fulham, Brentford and Charlton.

Tell her that when she is sitting with the away support, as I will be on Tuesday night, and we score, she can smile in great appreciation without upsetting the local cruds

 

[Hampster Gull]

If she loves you she will support the Albion

 

[atfc village]

I can think of worse teams in blue and white hoops to follow .

 

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

I grew up in west london and was always a brighton fan because of my family. Obviously you don't believe in the phrase "blood is thicker than water."

Just lob a rock through their front window after the game! Firm but fair

My closest friend who I've known for more than 30 years isn't into football -apart from a slight family allegiance to Bradford City. He recently bought a caravan very close to Selhurst Park and asked if I'd like to go to some games. I'm going to have to educate him!

corrected for you

100% this

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

You should only be disappointed with yourself that it has 'gotten' to this stage

 

[Hamilton]

She's 25 and never been to an Albion game?

What have you been doing?

Bad parenting skills! From a very early age your daughter should have been encouraged, nay, threatened, that there is only one football club on this planet to follow, namely Brighton and Hove Albion. Anything less than 100% loyalty is akin to heresy and therefore eternal damnation in the fiery pits of hell.

I have educated both my daughters (now grown up) in this fashion and they have responded with utmost loyalty and faith in supporting the striped Demi-Gods . . . . . and one lives in Croydon!
