          Forest sold approx 2900 tickets so 300 odd there, two blocks of about 40 seats each, used by 18yard box cameras in ER stand and lots of seats around not sold as 'restricted' view. Lots of space in the Lower loft.

          Capacity is 18 059 so only 832 short, not bad for a TV game
          22nd February away v Charlton is the 40th Anniversary of my support of QPR and my first game. Away v Chelsea 3-3 23rd Feb 1974. 40 years of pure magic!!

              I'm not aware of any ground developments recently and thought it was 19.2

              Any links to prove me wrong or say where those seats disappeared to (not cash down the casino) would be grateful

                When we went all seater capacity went to 18 806, and when the directors box, W12 and C Club seating was created loads of seats taken out to give these areas more leg room. Away tickets never go above 3125 even though the stand is supposed to hold 3350, segregation , restricted views etc etc.

                  That must be 20 years ago and capacity was 19500 then

                        Oh. yeah, do I come across as a quarter-wit who would not have looked there first?



                        But try this for some 'balance'

                        Club: Queens Park Rangers FC | Opening: 1904 | Capacity: 18,439 seats. Description: Loftus Road was built in 1904, but it was only in 1917 that QPR moved to the ground.
