QPR 2 Sheffield United 1: Bircham passion revives Rangers
Barry Flatman at Loftus Road

POLICE were called after armed men threatened the life of Queens Park Rangers� club director Gianni Paladin yesterday, but after arrests were made, and with the crowd, players and officials unaware of what had just occurred, we were treated to a lively encounter with a committed fan at its core.
Marc Bircham is one of those fortunate individuals who plays for the club he has supported with a lifelong passion. He wasn�t born when the likes of Rodney Marsh won QPR the League Cup as Third Division giantkillers almost 40 years ago and while the 1967 vintage were taking a bow at half-time, Bircham was locked in the dressing room being berated by manager Ian Holloway for being too anxious throughout a forgettable first half.

However, Bircham is well versed with the exploits of his elders and was clearly aware of their presence. Within 11 minutes of the restart the midfielder, who has been known to parade his devotion by dying his hair blue and white, was celebrating a goal that any QPR veterans would have been proud to score.

Then, with the match eventually won, Bircham went on to show the confrontational side to his character by reacting so angrily to a verbal barb from Sheffield United�s Chris Morgan that the visitors� captain, seeking further retribution, had to be manhandled off the pitch by his manager, Neil Warnock.

The fact that QPR had not only taken the points but leapfrogged Sheffield United in the Championship table after the Yorkshire team started the day in top position, clearly fuelled Morgan�s temper.

Warnock maintained the entire contest was a disappointment, but his bitterness is understandable because his team did not possess the guile to exploit the opposition�s errors. QPR in contrast possess that quality as scorers Bircham and substitute Stefan Moore displayed.

Moore, a summer free transfer from Aston Villa, was introduced as a 36th minute replacement for fellow new arrival Tom Doherty who limped off with an injured knee. Moore�s pace and attack was a constant threat to United and he was integral to the opening goal. Initially Martin Rowlands raided down the left, Moore tried his luck in a more central position and when Phil Jagielka could only half clear the ball, Bircham steadied himself to drive a shot past goalkeeper Paddy Kenny from 20 yards.

Michael Tonge was badly missed in the Sheffield midfield and Frenchman Lilian Nalis had the sort of afternoon he could have categorised as tres terrible, but it was another summer signing, Paul Ifill, who suffered the brunt of Warnock�s displeasure. The former Millwall man appeared to lose his footing as he shaped to shoot early in the second half and sliced a goalscoring opportunity wide. But when he slipped and allowed Moore a free run at goal, Warnock decided an investigation was necessary.

�I was convinced he was wearing rubber studs, which is ridiculous given pitches in this day and age, but I was right,� revealed Warnock. �He won�t be wearing them again.�

Moore�s footwear was suitably stable for him to cross to Matthew Rose, who returned the ball for Moore to shoot home his first goal for his new club. Substitute Steve Kabba got one goal back for United from close range late in added time.

Stadium

Loftus Road Stadium is stewarded with a combination of in house and agency stewards.  We work hard to ensure we get the same staff to aid our home and away supporters with the best knowledge possible.
Away supporters are located in the ‘School Upper’ section of the ground.
For home fans there is a dedicated ‘family’ area in the ‘Lower Loft’
The Club works hard to create a safe and respectful environment for everyone to enjoy their day and foul language, racism and violence of any sort are not tolerated and could result in arrest and/or ejection from the Ground. The Club may impose a ban for one or more matches.
We make our customers' safety a top priority. We work closely with all parties. We meet with all our site partners at least every two weeks and in advance of all matches and events at the stadium for events planning and safety team meetings. 
These include Police and all emergency services, the Stadium Safety Certificate holder, our stadium teams and representatives from all other users of our site.

Ground Regulations

Please find a copy of our Ground Regulations HERE.
All visitors to Loftus Road are asked to respect the Ground Regulations.  Breaches in the Ground Regulations may result in a ban from the ground.
Should a supporter be ejected from the Stadium by the safety team or Police, this matter will be dealt with away from match day in the form of a dedicated meeting. 
Individuals ejected will not be allowed re-entry into the stadium until the incident has been dealt with by the Club and the Stadium's Safety Officer.
  
The individual in question will then receive a letter from the Safety Officer regarding the incident. Before any readmission is allowed the individual must attend a meeting with the Stadium Safety Officer to discuss the incident.
Only after completion of this process will the individual be allowed back in the ground to attend matches

Safeguarding

The Club is committed to the safeguarding of both children and vulnerable adults.  There is a team in place who are dedicated to raising awareness in these areas and this is extended to all match day staff.
