QPR Development Squad News was founded as a news page on X (Formerly Twitter) in March 2023 by lifelong QPR supporter Ben Jacobs with the aim of providing coverage on the latter levels of the QPR Academy, and specifically the Development Squad, casting an eye on the talents who aim to make the final jump to play in the first team. Over two years later, the page now has over 3400 followers on X and is widely regarded as the best fan-led source of information on the QPR Academy.
