| Members of QPR's Loyal Supporters Association are
urging Hoops fans to take part in a planned demonstration
urging former owner Chris Wright to hand over his shares in
the club. Wright retains an interest in QPR, though it is unclear how many shares he actually holds. |

Do the Wright thing Chris |
The Loyal Supporters Association will use next Tuesday's
Carling Cup match with Swansea at Loftus Road to highlight the ongoing
controversy and are confident of gaining widespread support from those
in attendance.
They plan to leaflet fans before the game and unveil banners during
the match appealing to Wright to walk away.
The LSA is one of the largest of its kind in the country with over
1,000 members. It was set up after the proposed merger with Fulham in
the mid-80s.
Spokesman Paul Finney said: "Chris can give himself some
credibility and show he really cares about the club by handing over
his shares to the new QPR board."
One man unlikely to witness the protest is the man in question. Wright
is believed not to have attended a QPR game since coming in for
personal criticism from fans at a match in 2001.
That hasn't put off the supporters group and they are also seeking to
arrange a meeting with Wright to explain their fears.
Finney added: "We would also like Chris Wright to meet us and
explain what happened during his time in charge and tell us the value
of his shares."
