Sign up to the QPR 1st
Share-Bank Scheme today

QPR1st is now a shareholder in Loftus Road plc,
thanks to its Share-Bank scheme

As the first to make use of the scheme, QPR 1st chair David Price said, "I am very proud that my 1,800-odd shares have been used to get QPR 1st Share-Bank started. QPR 1st is now a registered shareholder. The shares held by ordinary QPR fans and small shareholders amounts to a significant percentage of the Loftus Road company so, if we all club together, we fans can make a voice as loud as any other at the club."

QPR1st's Share-Bank scheme is designed to give the Trust itself a significant shareholding in the club. Using this, though there are no guarantees that this will happen, QPR 1st will continue to press the club for proper fan representation to ensure that the club's financial practices remain sound.

Although at the moment there is no public trade in Loftus Road plc shares, they retain their voting powers.

Thousands of small shareholders have lost money on QPR shares prior to the club's fall into administration.

Subsequently, from the last EGM in May 2001, until the announcement of the EGM that was held in October 2002, there was no communication whatsoever from the Company to its shareholders.

What we propose

We at QPR1st have set up a scheme, which allows shareholders to donate some or all of their shares to the Trust. All it takes is for you to complete a form, included in the share bank brochure ,which we will provide to you, and post it with your share certificate to us at QPR 1st. We will forward the transaction to Lloyds TSB in Worthing who will process it.

To donate your shares, view and download the Share-Bank documentation and transfer forms here.

Feedback from some shareholders indicated that whilst they supported the idea of the scheme, they would like to be able to get their shares back in the event that they resume public trading in the future. A pledge has therefore been added to the ShareBank rules so that any shareholder signing their shares over to QPR 1st can get them back from the Trust on request.
