Well here it is. The game almost every Q.P.R fan looked for when the fixture list was published, Chelsea at home. We have been to Stamford Bridge twice since our relegation in ’96 thanks to the luck of the balls in the League and F.A Cup, but now they come to our patch and supposedly we are more equal now than we have been for 15 years. Rangers fans are getting giddy, but do Chelsea fans care?
Growing up in North London meant that almost all my friends were Spurs or Arsenal fans. I’ve never known what it was like to go to school or work with a clutch of Chelsea fans, if anything I was more conditioned to hate the big two from North London. I will discuss later this week why I personally cannot stand Chelsea, but for now the question that needs to be asked, do they even care about us? Rangers fans still sing Kevin Gallen’s name from The Loft and eulogize about his winner against our arch rivals, we still achieve football induced boners when discussing the 6-0 hammering we handed out to the the Blue half of West London. The League Cup Quarter Final sits up there as many fans favorite ever Q.P.R moments. But do Chelsea fans feel the same way? In a word no, no they don’t. They have bigger fish to fry, they have done since Roman and his Roubles rolled into town. Their meteoric rise coincided perfectly with our stunning collapse. During the middle of the last decade the two clubs couldn’t have been further apart.
Threads are appearing on some message boards of links to Chelsea fans relishing the reawakening of an old rivalry. The truth is that these fans are few and far between, most Chelsea fans look to their games with Arsenal, Spurs and the Manchester clubs as their biggest of the season. They used to enjoy a rivalry with Liverpool as the two clubs constantly met each other in the Champions League. However there is some hope for R’s fans who want a genuine rival in the Premier League, Chelsea’s rivalry with Fulham has never quite taken off. Fulham have had dibs on Chelsea for years, the Blues have never faced Q.P.R or Brentford in the league since 1996. But since Fulhams promotion the top flight their West London derby has rarely been talked about or discussed. It says something that our first meeting with the old enemy is being beamed onto our televisions at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon. Primetime. Q.P.R v Chelsea has history, it used to mean something all those years ago and perhaps it could mean something again. You feel Chelsea would love a genuine local rival, United have City and Liverpool, Arsenal have Spurs who have West Ham but Chelsea… Chelsea have nobody. Nobody they truly hate. Some of their older fans will be telling the new generation about what a Q.P.R v Chelsea game means, stories that need not be retold to the young R’s generation, and hopefully this is the start of the renaissance of the old classic West London Derby.

They are still on a far planet in a distant galaxy
It’s like Brentford saying “We’ll never be mastered, by those Rangers b*****ds”
I´m from Brazil, i always thinking then Chelsea main local rivals were the Fulham FC, Q.P.R are a “new” club from a generetion around the world who start to watch the Premier League in the 2000´s, Fulham had an average attendance of 25,000 and was runners-up in the Uefa Europa League, the whites are more famous than the rangers, here in Brazil had a website from Brazilian cottagers, maybe Q.P.R, in the future will be good team, but today Fulham are the 2nd team in the West london and fighting with the hammers for the 4th best team in London… Im support the Clube Náutico Capibaribe, the white and Reds!
