Lots of QPR fans have reacted on Twitter to a video shared by the club of an American fan Jacob Tingle talking about how a fan club began in the states.
@Vamos_QPR is a support club which origins begin from the Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, however, the supporters are not exclusively from the University.
Within the video, Tingle speaks about how the group got together and how much he enjoys watching the R’s with his two children.
The sports studies professor’s journey with QPR began when he and a class were on a trip and they were treated to a guest lecture from Chris Ramsey as well as watching a game at Loftus Road under the lights.
He claims that on one occasion he watched that game he knew that he was going to be supporting them from then onwards.
Now the trip to Loftus Road for him and his class is an annual event. He can be seen in the video with his students walking around the stadium on a matchday in his QPR kit.
Lots of fans loved to see the video, as you can see from the replies below…

It’s been a so-so season thus far for Rangers. Despite some moments of brilliance, it’s unlikely that the class will be seeing a Premier League game next season – they are only seven points off the playoffs, but they do also have the second-worst defence in the division, and there’s not much to suggest that is going to improve any time soon.
