HOOPS Columnist ‘R’ GENERATION WRITER BEN SUMMER SHARES HIS LATEST COLUMN F our thousand, and you could hear every single one of us from miles away. There’s something poetic about an away day. They don’t really make sense on paper. Spending all our cash on a train to god-knows-where to stand up for two hours in the cold, with the bestcase scenario – no guarantee, mind – that we see our football team win a match. My away journeys are rarer than I’d like, and they don’t start as some other people’s do. There’s no crate of beer, no group of mates (there aren’t many of us travelling to Coventry from Cardiff!). The day starts as a relatively sedate affair. Then, slowly, the away day starts ticking, and signs of life appear. It’s usually not a QPR scarf (the other day it was actually Bristol Rovers). Oh look, there’s someone else going to an away game! They’re a part of the same bizarre routine that I am! That’s fun! Then another (Wimbledon). Then another (Aston Villa). Then another (Swindon). Like in a sci-fi film, when the camera pans out to reveal a wider, more glorious landscape than the initial shot suggested, you realise you’re part of this great sprawling machine of club football. Thousands of people going to hundreds of places on millions of (delayed) trains. Challenge any of them to explain why, and the explanation wouldn’t sound like something any sensible human would willingly do. But what was the trip to Coventry, if not a reminder of EXACTLY what it’s all about? All the clichés, every damn one of them. Hearing the roar of a packed away end echoing across the stadium, folding back in on itself, completely enveloping you. Watching a goal go in, and grabbing fistfuls of scarves and arms and coats and leaping and yelling and losing your voice and yelling some more. Being rewarded, so thoroughly, for our travels. People talk about how Warburton has reconnected the team with the fans. It’s true. It would still be true if we weren’t winning games. People wouldn’t be saying it if we weren’t winning games. People are fickle, and I include myself in that. We’re exceedingly lucky that things, even if just for now, are going as well as they are. But in those moments, when I was stood next to Sam Taylor, founder of the ‘R’ Generation site, who I’d known for nearly two years online but only met in person that day, with his dad and his friend, and then Adomah scored, it felt like we were destined to win that game, and we were destined to win every other game in the future until the universe eventually ceases to exist. The decision to go to Coventry suddenly made perfect sense. WWW.QPR.CO.UK // @QPR // @OFFICIALQPR // OFFICIALQPRFC 19
