Revenue Loftus Road, how to increase income

[72bus]

Parking is not the issue at Loftus Rd, everyday cars are parked on the pavement outside SAR and in the entrances to the Loft and Ellerslie Rd stands, upwards of 20 vehicles and there room for many more.

wonder why no ever gets a ticket

[cross it Dave]

I would assume because their parked on private property directly outside the box office and entrances to the ground.

Check it out on Google Earth, 10-15 cars parked outside SAR.

plus the bbc is right next to loftus road. the bbc is one of my sites and they have tonnes of parking there including a big compound thats never used that could easily hold around 150-200 cars if not more. the club should ask to rent it and then charge people a fiver or so for matchday parking

[stanistheman]

It would appear that the club don't know how to increase income if LF thinks that a lack of parking facilities is holding the club back.
clearly the best way to increase crowds is a team challenging for promotion.
A bigger ground is required but that looks a long way off, so the club needs to think of other money raising schemes
Sponsorship of the ground will generate more income to start with. Clearly not in the mega millions of other Premiership ones but even a Ł15m 5 year deal will help and perhaps ease the pressure to sell players for Ł3-5m each season.

I`m puzzled that we have so many highly regarded businesmen owning the club (Reuben, Tony, Amit and the networks they have) - and they´re not have better ideas for increasing revenue. They´re often blamed for being naive regarding the football aspects of the club but this is, I believe, the biggest problem.

Agree Swede. Surely these guys can negotiate deals with major brands worldwide?

[swede]

Besides trying to get more companies to have meetings and so on at HQ: Why not sponsor the ground/change to companies name, the sites selling food and drink at matchdays, the training ground, the different stands of the ground/companies names, the goalposts and anything that is ok to sponsor. Is it ok to be active on the stockmarket as a football club? If so - are we? Can we convert space or build new for a hotel on top of the existing HQ? Can we use the VIPboxes as hotelrooms other days than matchdays? Use the CCclub and W12 restaurants monday-sunday for food and drink? Can we do as at Camp Nou - lower parts of the ground so we can build, on top of that, a stadium who can increase attendace - revenue, and skip moving to another site? What is the definition of attender-attendance - can we count the ones watching via QPR+ (paying customers who are, online, watching the homegames)? Can we do our own beer? Our own betting-casino company/site?

Move over Mr Hoos, Swede for CEO.

Become a Virgin and front every business going with the QPR 'brand'. Skyex will go public next year, YHIHF.

I wouldn't bet on it 73. Rmember when bungle first came in...... He stuck his own airline on the shirts. Negotiated 10 year deal with dry world only for them to go bust within the first 6 months. Now we have the mighty erra along with royal Farking panda. Major sponsors I think not. Now we have the dof saying there are no parking spaces. Laughable

[The General]

Best way to raise money is sell all the players Oh we are

[1973 ranger]

Royal Panda with current board or Gulf Air under Flavio! Big big difference between the two.

[Hitman34]

Flavio all day long.

[1973 ranger]

I agree Hits say what you like but he got the job done and we were relevant in the game. Now we are just a championship hoping to keep it that way.
