Loftus Road

[vespa]

But being bigger might just see us do it a little more often. I don't think wee can have it both ways personally, not now,

Your probably right Dave , and if i had to choose ,i`d still have no cups etc and to keep the club ,i first fell in love with. Speak to any of the 6000 odd real Fulham fans ,and i`m sure they will tell you what they think of the rest of their home crowd , who weren`t there when they were in the lower leagues and still dont travel away.

no time for the attitude of some fans attacking "tourists" etc. think there's a minority in our fan base that wd actually be happier if we were playing in the reymans league and they were one of about six supporters just to prove how dedicated they were. if you don't want your club to succeed and grow, why bother cheering it on to win and being downcast when you lose? you might as well just accept failure if that's your attitude.

Ive no time for the attitude of some fans who want to be in a large soulless stadium surrounded by tourist fans ,who dont really care about ( or understand ) our club.
I,d love Rangers to succeed ,but why do i have to want us to "grow" ? I love QPR just the size we are , sitting with people who care as much as i do ,feeling part of the club.
The majority of us do accept failure , because were so used to it , and thats what makes the successes that we do get ,taste so much sweeter than what a newbie tourist Chelsea fan could ever experience ,with all their success

there cant be anything worse than playing in a half empty stadium , this is why i dont think we will or should move . it looks like we will go down this season with no guarantee to come straight back up , sure in time i'd like a bigger stadium but only if we can stabilise in the premiership for a few years . i love LR but its dated and worn out but it would sadden me to leave 40 years of memories .if we think that we will attract new fans or old ones back no way every other fan in our part of london is arsenal or chelsea as kids like to be part of and lets face it its not cool to support QPR , brentford ,fulham etc . for example i offered my shepherds bush living god son a season ticket at LR he said no and would rather watch and be a fan of cfc on the tv as he sayes QPR are rubbish

If we wanted to fill a 30k seater we would need to basically find an additional 10-12k supporters on top of our current fan base. Whilst Im pretty sure we have more than that out there fan wise we would need to reduce pricing as thats the main reason most don't go nowadays.

PL football will only get more expensive i cant see us dropping prices, i agree there may be another 10k out there but they are happy to watch it on sky, motd . i have mates i used to go with and they say they wouldnt pay over a score for a football match

I think if they was clever and introduced the first 'safe standing' stand and charged £20 they would be onto a winner. We could end up with a smaller but noiser kop type stand behind the goal where it should be.

I'd happily pay more if it meant I could stand all game, so much better. A standing stand at LR would lift the roof off

You know it. That would be pucker.

Whilst I love LR from the bottom of my heart, I also cannot wait to see us move into a brand spanking new 35k+ new stadium.

Can we fill it now? No

Can we fill it around the year 2018 or after, which is realistically, the earliest it will be built by? More then likely!

Will we benefit from a multi event venue in an easily accessible part of London? Definitely!

Yeah,bring back the Loft ! ( welcome back ,SpankwiR)

[Essexsteve]

Estádio do Bessa holds 28,000 all seated,change one of the bottom tiers of seats to safe standing to bring the capacity upto 30/32,000 and you've got the perfect FOOTBALL ground. I suppose if you really wanted a multi-use venue there would probably be some way of constructing a retractable roof,Im no engineer so Im just dreaming here but it would be modern,close to the pitch hopefully resulting in it being atmospheric.Bessa5.jpgdownload boa1.jpgimages (8).jpgimages (11).jpgimages (10).jpg
