At the same time as Thames AFC's tiny crowds were rattling around West Ham Stadium, QPR tried to boost their attendances by moving into the giant 1908 Olympic Stadium (known as White City), which at one time had a capacity of 150,000 (including 68,000 seats). A record crowd of 41,097 for an FA Cup tie with Leeds in 1932 seemed to justify the move, but that was the exception rather than the rule and after two seasons Rangers were back at Loftus Road. They moved back in to White City Stadium for the 1962/63 season, but recorded their lowest ever crowd for a competitive game of 3,261, which was lost inside the giant ground and they sensibly fled back to Loftus Road."You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
