I would like to say thank you to the QPR supporters for their behaviour and respect they gave
during the stoppage in the game whilst the medical emergency was going on and afterwards.
From an ITFC supporter.

Very sorry to know that this lady has passed away.

Before the Cardiff game, I see that we recognised the Rs fans who have passed during the year.

Good to see lifelong support honoured.

I would hope that all players realise that they are playing in front of fans who give lifelong support to their
club and to let that be a motivating element in their performances.
