Message to all season ticket buyers...

[Simonj10]

If you dont want to buy a ST then its plain and simple DON'T. But dont go moaning about it to people that have!!! Dont say you feel sorry for us spending OUR money buying it you should feel sorry for those that genuinly cant afford one! Some QPR are never happy no matter what and they dont want others to be happy! and saying that we are only going to watch the other team is clearly what you are wanting to do and if this is the case go support FOOLHAM your not welcome at QPR... I am there to cheer my team on against some of the best in the world yes but is that not what we do in the championship or league 1? cheer our team on against the team we are playing?

It's 2:30 pm December 17th the floodlights are warming up and streets are full of fans casually making their way up South Africa rd. The repetative sound of touts asking for spare tickets becomes annoying as you approach the ground. One tout shouts he has 2 tickets going in the school end which causes a small stampede in he's direction only to be disapointed to find they are £150 each. We get to the ground and the atmosphere is starting to get you excited the smell of burgers in the cold winter air the shouting of programme sellers and the odd banter between rival fans, wow the place is packed its going to be a good night you think. You try to squeeze past all the people still queuing up at the box office hoping to get any sort off ticket that will get them in but you know they have no chance. Finally in the ground at my seat just in time to see the famous blue & white shirts of shepherds bush walking on the hallowed turf of Loftus rd to a packed house of loyal supporters. The cry of cmon on you R's must be heard miles away the hair is standing up on the back of my neck, and then right at that moment my son taps me on the arm i look down to see the biggest smile on his face as he says.........

..........cor dad thank god we had our season tickets i could'nt have missed this for the world....

which i reply worth every penny son

[fazer vic]

RANGERS TILL I DIE ,

Most of the people claiming to have renewed or bought new season tickets out of some misguided loyalty, having blue and white blood, support the club/players nonsense, are just plain lying.

The only reason they have bought season tickets is to see the opposition and their players, and nothing else. Spin it anyway you want, but they clearly aren't going to watch qpr get battered next season. Add to this the complete comtempt of the owners towards the fans, makes all this I must watch rangers coz its part of my life rubbish even more embarrassing to say.

By all means buy season tickets, but dont dress it up like qpr is some kind of cult that if you dont go and get shafted by the owners you will suddenly die.

Qpr, and professional football is entertainment, with their being millions of things in life far more important. But because so called super fans keep showing owners and players that they will do anything and accept anything for the so called love of their club, we see the result of this at our club, and all over football.

As the owners clearly dont care who buys season tickests or not, they missed a trick here in not putting season tickets up to minimum 2k a ticket to see who really wants to go, but they got next season lol.

The QPR we all know and love has been swallowed up by a sea monster with 2 heads. Until it re-surfaces as the QPR I remember I won't be buying a ST again.

With all due respect, this time next year my dad might not be around.
Actually feeling very offended by the whole gist of this thread -- like I said, no-one has any right to tell me I should deny him what could be his last season alive.
And if it isn't, it's still no-one's business but ours.

hey i'm not telling ya, i'm just giving my opinion you can do what you like its your money i just dont think if we get relegated fans will pay top dollar to watch championship football.They will have to reduce the price by 40% and don't think that will happen so gates could tumble.Lets hope it don't happen

If you cant give an opinion whats the point of a flaming message board

[UB6-RANGER]

No room for sentiment in business.

[QPR1976]

Opinions are fine, as long as others opinions are respected and you don't sink to the depths of criticising someone wanting to spend time with a loved one doing what they enjoy before, for whatever reason, that may not be be possible.

I'd rather vent my anger, frustration, disillusionment at T&C and He who "doesn't do finer detail" or truth & integrity (Pellicori was sold for a profit right ?) than fellow R's fans.

Went to a lot of games last year mate.

Would've done the same this year but have the luxury of having every one live on tv and would not pay a sungle penny of my hard earned cash to those 2.

See the club shop's been upgraded....baaa baaa baaa new shirt baa baa

Sheep?

Couldn't you make your protest but not paying the TV Price. Its shocking what Pay TV is doing to football and you would be making a stand against it. It would stop people like our owners getting involved in the first place.

Make your stand - just refuse to pay to watch the games on TV!!! That would really show your principles.

Fact is, football has become big business, I for one think its better for it but I still remember the past. When I lived in the UK I could never afford a ST so went only to the games I could afford to. That was a fact of life which I accepted.

Im hoping to fly back from Australia for a few games this year but alas I think that its going to be hard to get tickets. Even though Im in Australia prmanently I still each year renew my club membeship only to try to get some edge to get tickets whn I am in UK. These are decisions I have made.

Next season I will be watching on Pay TV myself which I dont begrudge paying as thats whats being offered.

Although there might be business accounting going on - I stil believe that :

1) The owners did save the club;
2) They have put some money in;
3) You don't make big money owning/running a football club especially one with our size.

Season Ticket prices are a reality of wanting Premiership Football.

Sorry folks & Matt I shouldn't have said the above....

Let's just say I disagree with you Matt and can't help the way I feel right now. I have been a mad fan for nearly 30 years but right now feel like this club is a joke!

So clearly my self and other season ticket renewers are mugs then are? What u have said there is tosh

Me and many other season ticket holders over the last few years are offended to hear you state the only reason we have renewed is to see other teams players at lofts rd ??? U donut


This is the truth the people who complain the most about renewing did not go last seas or wen in div 3 and now we are in the prem they want one but want to pay championship prices
I will pay 1000 pound to have the same seat I've had 80 percent of my life even if we were in blue sq
Is that a good enough reason to renew?
All I care about is that the club exists and I've got that and my ticket
