==Supporters and rivalries== {{See also|Football in London|West London derby}} {{Unreferenced section|date=June 2023}} QPR have a modest but loyal fanbase who come from across west London and the home counties. The club have supporters clubs across the world, including the Republic of Ireland, the US, Australia, Norway, and Sierra Leone. The club's longest running fanzine is ''A Kick Up The R's'', which has been published every month since August 1987 and is sold at both home and away matches. QPR have long-standing rivalries with several other clubs due to the club's location in West London. The most notable of these is the West London derby against [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]]. Other rivalries include [[Brentford F.C.|Brentford]], [[Cardiff City]], [[Millwall F.C.|Millwall]], [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]] and [[Luton Town F.C.|Luton]]. The most vocal QPR fans at home games can be found in the Q, P and R Blocks where fans often choose to stand and create the chants which the rest of the support in the Loft and the Stanley Bowles Stand follow. {{wide image|File:QPR_fans_Rail_Seating.jpg|500px|Rangers fans standing in the Loft End before a game against [[Luton Town]] in 2022}} ===Songs and chants=== When the club won the League Cup final in 1967, the club released the single "QPR β The Greatest" about the famous win, which featured the vocals of Rangers winger [[Mark Lazarus]].
