I think we will fill a 40k stadium, and Tony will take us to the level. All the petty jealousy comments insulting 'tourists' and 'we're were you when we were 5hit' will have to tolerate the major marketing plan to bring out the closet rangers fans and get them to the new stadium. 18k fans and aspirations to be long term prem club is unsustainable, so we can continue to be a second or third tier club, or we can become ambitious, what do we want? Can't have both the romance of the Loftus Rd and top flight football, we must move on and we have been very fortunate to have attracted TF.
All us long serving loyal fans went to Loftus Rd for the first time once, so you could suggest that we all started as a tourist. Becoming a fan starts at some point and it gets into your blood, but this could have happened 40 years ago, or 4 months ago, but all are valid fans to be respected. Also, we all know 1 or 2 people that dont come the games due to the poor condition, visibilty and legroom of our shack of a stadium. If they come back we are close to capacity. I'm over 6' and fed up with paying for the cramped conditions, so much so I haven't bought a ST for about 5 years, just choosing to go to about 6-10 games a season, but I'll be at the head of the queue for a ST at the new stadium.
It doesnt make a jot of difference if we dont fill it, just shut the whole top tier. Make it big for when it will get filled. Who cares if every seat is full, you dont want the train full when you get on it.
Plenty of people supporting the move and there are some against it, but not a single naysayer has put forward a plan as to why we should remain at LR playing championship football.
When this was discussed some months ago, I thought Vblock or someone else would take up the challenge of putting forward the case for staying put. All we've heard is the new place will be too big.
Stop bellyaching and accept it, or put together your business plan to present to the board and organise a protest.
I would guess the board has undertaken a feasibility study and risk assessment, have the naysayers?
I'm sure many of us would like to hear what the alternative plan is.
Supporting QPR isn't just about a football team. It's about roots and identity.
Actually mate i have no problem with whatever you might feel on the subject. The same as you should have no problem with my view. It's when opinions and views are force fed by the current PC trending society we live in that there is a problem. Some people can take being force fed views and opinions while some can't. You have your views on the subject and i respect them ....but i dont have to follow them and i shouldnt have to follow them to "fit in" or be called civilized.
But your views have a far worse impact than mine. Gay people still face loads of discrimination, get beaten up on nights out, aren't able to express affection the people they love in front of others, often aren't able to come out to their parents or loved ones. That's because of views like yours. So yes, I do have a problem with your views.
My views mildly **** you off because you're forced to confront your unexamined prejudices.

We all have prejudices!
Why did homosexuals feel the need to create a euphemism for the word "homosexual", which is not a derogatory term? What does "gay" have to do with homosexuality? Most activities or attitudes do not require a euphemism! It gives some insight into what homosexuals think of themselves.

It's been made perfectly clear to him today that his repeated homophobic posts will never pass unchallenged on a public forum such as this. The fact is he can count himself lucky for being allowed to stay on after breaching WATRB Forum Rule 1:
We will not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia or other forms of hate-speech, or contributions that could be interpreted as such. We recognise the difference between criticising a particular government, organisation, community or belief, and attacking people on the basis of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age:http://www.wearetherangersboys.com/f...014#post819014
