Opening day clash not sold out - pish poor?

[Harryboy]

If we get a new ground we will have to give the away team 10 to 15000 tickets which will turn into an away game for the other team I don't fancy that stick to loftus road any day

[West Acton]

The fans consultation result was that a 35k stadium was about right. I went for 40k. Games we would get large attendances:

Arsenal, Spurs, Chelski, WHU, Palace, City, Utd, Liverpool, Newcastle and maybe Everton. That's at least half of the prem.

Introduce good ticket prices for the remainder and we'd sell a fair few.

TF has said he knows how to get bums on seats and I believe him, although I accept the doubters don't.

good points Rich but I would say were being optimistic if we think a game against Everton, Newcastle or Palace would draw 40k

[Hertford Hoop]

Realistic ticket prices will see more bums on seats, kids free with an adult and £15-£25 a ticket with discounts for families. These will all help bring more folk in.

[BostonR]

Fair enough but I think you see my point - Gooner today, Ranger tomorrow.

I think we'd do a lot better than 20k but of course I'm just guessing too. Back in the 70s I'm sure we averaged around 25k for our good seasons and the demand for football in London has increased significantly since then.

If only if had have been 25k, 'fraid it was around the 23,300 area and that was the season we nearly won the league. It was also hit and miss for away support, swung from decent to pi$$ to tell you the truth.

But dont forget in those days attendances everywhere were dropping due to the rife hooliganism.

Football crowds have risen greatly since those days.

The resaon why QPR are stuggling to sell out is largely due to the poor stadium because many fans are used to better comfort and views and quite frankly, object to paying £30-40 for a ticket.

Are we struggling to sell out, i didnt realise that. Shame that,

[scuberry]

As far as I can see about 100 tickets left and mostly in c r a p areas and family,dont see that as a pish poor effort considering it's Dull City ??

[West London is Rss]

How are Hull getting on with their allocation? Anyone know?

Not for modern day football fans we have to sell out months in advance otherwise we're tin pot

[Rangersw12]

Still on sale but anything over 800 is decent

[Lunar Jetman]

So if Hull don't sell out their allocation in modern day football that's ok.

But if our restricted view tickets don't completely sell out we're tin pot????

I was being sarcastic calling us tin pot read the post again to what I quoted !!!!!!

Its a modern fan thing that everyone needs to sell out every game regardless of ticket prices , location , time of game , on TV and anyone who doesn't is tin pot for me I think its a load of ******** and if Hull bring over 800 to us that is decent support especially as they are in Europe and if we only have 100 tickets left in restricted views then again excellent support

[West London is Rss]

Whats all this talk about 3 rows being ripped out in Elerslie?? Didn't go on Saturday

I just popped the numbers from an old programme (vs. Leeds 24th April 1976) into a spreadsheet and it came out to an average of 23,851. Please don't shoot me for being out by 1,149 - I did say "around 25K" so I think that counts.

Back to the present day, demand for top flight football in London now far exceeds the supply. You can see this by the waiting lists for season tickets (even we sold out our season tickets this season, so there must be more midgets in London than I thought). If we can provide a superior top flight football watching experience, I have no doubt the fans will come.
