How disjointed will the atmosphere be next season?

[Mr M]

I think it will be ****ed well and truly, fans moved along again with ST price hikes.

Lose the first few games and the crowd could play a big part in sending us down the way things are. Fans will not accept £10 million spent on transfers, paying the same prices as teams spending 5, 10 times that.

So don't start stating 'we should be enjoying ourselves, this is the PL' clap trap when it happens....not looking forward to flushing a grand down the drain at all this season, so ****ing demoralising.

That’s the spirit. Someone get his belt please!

well the newcomers will sit and enjoy the opposition
if they gave a flying monkey for qpr, they'd have been about years ago
anyway...gonna be some unhappy people about, no bars for fans now in the main stand

the MAtCHDAY EXPERIENCE FOR MOST WILL NOT BE BOUTIQUE...

Every ****ing match you are going to have tourists around you who can't find their seat....i'll give it 2 matches before a QPR fan loses it and ends up getting ejected from the ground or worse case ends up lumping a newbie.

Watched a ST Holder in front of me aim about 3 flags at some geezers head at the Leeds match whilst calling him a 'Chelsea ****' and that was in Platinum...its going to get tasty in the stands next season.

If our so called fans won't even put their hands in their pocket to the tune of £150 extra a season then why would you expect Bernie to put millions of his own money in for no return? So many double standards.

For your info I have paid out for 3 ST's. I can't speak for anyone else.

So for my outlay (totalling £2277) should I not expect to see Premiership standard players?

Bernie is no fool he knew what he was taking on, what it would cost & how much you will need to spend to give yourself a fighting chance of a decent season yet its all being done on the cheap at top rate prices.

I've done my bit so you are probably better off getting your facts right. Would you like me to go around & knock on the doors of every Rangers fan & try & convince them to renew?

[Jeffro]

Wicksta, the difference being that ric ain't a multi billionaire who is potentially ruining the lives of thousands of loyal fans.
That 2 and a half bags that ric has just shelled out is the equivalent of Bernie buyin a cup of tea at the Market.
Can't compare the 2 really

I agree with w12 ranger on this one.

Can you imagine next season tourists asking you where Loftus Road is, when your drinking outside a pub in Sherpered Bush or surrounding areas?

[Ric-Roc]

Spot on Jeffro. Of course things have to be run as a business but at what cost? I thought the days of Comical Ali's gold / silver / bronze was bad enough alienating a fan base. Now you have this.

Prem prices I wanna see Prem facilities & players.

[Shania]

I can see many problems next season to be honest.

if we booed players in irrevelant games like Bristol City, whats it going to be like if we are 1-0 down to say Swansea or Wolves in the premiership?

Plus, whether we like it or not families and fans are bing priced out and this brings into play the "Gloryhunter" or fan who simply lives in London and wants to watch say manchester United.

I don't think Premiership is going to be what its cracked up to be.

Only time (which is a negative) where the place will be terrific atmosphere is if we are a couple of games to go, needing to win a game to stay up. Have a a feeling genuine fans will pitch up for these and the so called gloryhunter won't bother, having given up around January.

I suggest we should have stayed in the division below!!

Due to 15 years out off top flight exile we have developed quite a nasty element to our support on top of some of the old skool characters knocking about.

Our fans will become hostile towards anyone they suspect is not proper Rangers, I have already seen it with my own eyes. We are not Fulham, we are simply not that hospitable as a group of supporters.

Briatore and Ecclestone are in for a surprise the club starts getting complaints from their 'tour operators' that the natives were far from friendly.

[swanleyhoop]

Had a lot of tourists near the front of X block in the second half of last season -- and yes, the regulars there (including me) were getting more than a bit peed off with them arriving any time between KO and the 25th minute (one lot turned up with their West End shopping bags about 5 minutes before half time!), going in and out endlessly and arriving back in their seats anything up to 15 minutes into the 2nd half.
Before anyone bleats that it's 'inevitable', that doesn't mean we have to sit and smile sweetly at them as we yoyo up and down to accommodate them. Most of the time, they're not even watching the game, they're taking photos or chatting about something else.
They are a flaming nuisance and I have to say I am not particularly polite to them -- which is actually quite out of character for me.
I don't mind overseas fans who come along and actually stay in the stand for 45 minutes, then again for another 45 minutes, and watch the game -- they are doing exactly what the rest of us do.

One question; do you characterize foreign QPR fans as "tourists"?

I just want a yes or a no from you!!
