footy fans in aus
Hi there, hoping to move to Perth in oct time, and the season has only been finished a month or so and I really miss the footy action and as I support QPR I doubt if I will get too much coverage of the championship in Perth.
how have others coped, I know that your life changes big time but the rangers have been in my life for a very long time and I know it is going to hit me hard. Rangersman

Perth Glory are the local pro soccer side and get crowds around 9000.

AND actually they do show it on sky i've been told.
And they are gaining a big following for Galic football which our AFL players go to in the summer.

I know what your going though, I will be getting Broadband and subscribe to QPR World. I know a couple of R's in Aus, and hope to sort out an Aussie Website.
We are going to Queensland, but you never know, maybe a weekend meet-up of R's supporters once a year might be a way to go.
UUUUUURRRRRRRRRR'SSSSSSSS
