we're packing loftus road now

[acricketer]

What have the Mittals ever done for us?

[C-Dizzle]

we have sold out 3-4 times, cos we are top
hardly a case to build an arena of 30000+
if we fill loftus rd for next few years..then yes, look at new ground...
thing is, if we go down, 20000 empty seats will be horrible to look at....like coventry!
25000 would do, does fulham and better to fill than be a wigan.

yeah but every other home game has had 17,500+ ;) think outside the box

[stanistheman]

If QPR go up, a new ground will be needed as QPR will easily have demand for more than 18,100 tickets for at least 10 games a season Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham, Fulham, Liverpool, Mau Utd, Man City, Aston Villa, Newcastle. And my guess is that nearly every game would have demand for 18-25,000 tickets as a minimum.

Of course, building this ground will take a few years and plenty of money.

[PedalR]

We need a new ground today. How many people have been unable to attend recent home games? I think we could easily have had a few thousand more at recent games - we're just kissing money away. How much we're losing is moot but whatever the figure is it will be magnified in the prem. Thing is how long would it take to make it happen? I can't believe anything can be achieved in under 30 months (unless there is already a substantial amount of scoping/planning that's taken place in the background).

[stainrodisalegend]

Understand why people want to be cautious but also it needs to be recognised that just to find a site and gain planning permission could take a couple of years easy, plus at least a year to build. Sure its a gamble but if the owners are serious - big if - then they should start now. If they backed us fully we would become an established premier side once more and then as others have suggested think we would get 22/25,000 for even fairly unsexy games owing to the lure of the premiership and 30,000 for bigger games.

my true guess is none.
the only game anyone wanting to go that might miss out this season will be leeds imho.

Gotta build a waiting list...like Arsey have been doing for years. And the bridge have a waiting list of 10,000.

Our ground can't deal with a full house.Bogs and kiosks can't deal with the traffic.Need a new stadium end of.

Chelsea don't have a waiting list. They'd flog you a season ticket tomorrow.

Only Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool have genuine waiting lists.

Well said that man.

[casuallyqpr]

i honestly think we would stuggle to fill a 20,000 seater week in week out....in the prem.

I am 100% convinced we would.
And get 30k for the "bigger" games. Minimum.




I'd bet my house on it.
And it's a nice house.

[waterbuffalo]

Of course we need a bigger ground if we establish ourselves in The Prem.


The owners (if they haven't already) will soon realise that, and anyone who doesn't think we'd sell out the home areas every week will be realising it pretty soon too.

Forget our fan base from the early 90's... it's bigger now. People have grown up, had kids, and they've grown up too.
"The Premiership Experience" is a far bigger draw now, etc...

the London Olympic Stadium.
The we can play Lazio at Stadio Olimpico
and they can play us at the Olympic Stadium
it would be.... wunderbar!!!

What have the Mittals ever done for us?

I have it on good authority that for qpr's home game against Man U, the first 10,000 season ticket holders get a free meal of curry and chips and a pint of bitter.

[C-Dizzle]

just wanted to bring this thread back up now because of the Leeds game and what we've seen, now... forgive me if I'm wrong here, but you think we might have a bigger ticket rush for the likes of utd and chels.hit? I know vs Leeds we should lift the trophy.. but still
