For Supporters Who Think We Won't Fill The Ground In Premiership

Qpr will sell out every game for the first season back in the prem for donkeys its whether or not the away ends get full...

Wigan and bolton won't bring much the rest will be decent and Man U to top 7 will sell out.

dont think we need to worry about wigan not filling it unless we get them in the cup , the best way to increase capacity without moving would be to apply to the premier league to remove all seats and go back to terracing.

And we all know that is never gonna happen

White City General,

Its always worth a debate, but too many make the comparison with football late eighties/early nineties.

Football is bigger now. We've got the supporters, just look at the League Cup final and 75-76 season we were not getting 18,000? I'd could compare those, just like you do with the last time we were in the Premiership.

Demand is really high now and for the Leeds game I maintain the club could have sold 30,000 tickets, so what figure manchester United in the premiership?

I'm just saying if at all possible, club should look to increase within the grounds of Loftus Road, because 22-25,000 would be the norm. If we maintained our premiership status over a longer period (ie like Fulham) it may need more.

You talk of a one off season never to be repeated again or a 1 in 10 year fixture at Wembley. I'm talking about an opinion based on season after season playing in the top flight off English football. Our fans need to first and foremost stop using Fulham as an example for a number off reasons.

- We are not quite the nice family club they are
- We will never ever price our ST's the way Fulham do
- Fulham grabbed the floating fans we should have 10 years ago.

You seem to forget the impact the rise in ST prices will have, the antisocial times our fixtures are constantly moved to and the fact you can stream every match on the net in the PL. As a club we have 15k glory hunters who like to turn up for the big day out but please don't expect to see them week in week out. It sickens me when our fans talk about filling a 30k seater stadium when we play United or Liverpool. What are we doing....building a ****ing stadium for away fans of big teams???? Why the hell do you want to fill our ground with 5/6k mancs and scousers....haven't they got a big enough advantage being bigger better teams. Limit their allocations next season to a paltry 1k in X Block and lets take our School End back.

30,000 stadium would be ideal, the club are losing millions each year and with better players with the higher wages that go with it we'd lose even more if we don't increase capacity, also LR is now outdated and too bl***y uncomfortable

How much do think a new ground would cost and how long do think it would take for us to pay it off?

its a conundrum, do nothing we struggle financially and like you say how much for a new stadium especially in W12
