Would you be in favour of W,X in ER being the away section?

[Olly]

We sit in a similar position at Palace when we go there. Amit wants the noise factor, would it help?

[taggster]

Great Idea, also the school end lower has more of a roof than lower loft, which back in the early eighties provided more noise than when we moved back to the loft.

[EYR]

Id go in the school end if it was a home end.

[bonkerrrrs]

Yep thats definitely a good Idea - Home fans on all sides of the ground!!! Also think it would help the players too hearing support behind both goals!!!

[New Cross R]

I would like that idea. Although, would be impossible to segregate the Ellerslie road stand i think? Couldn't see how it would work.

[bonkerrrrs]

....... and if they can put a big screen above the Loft for the people in the School end, or am I just being greedy now!

[vblockranger]

good idea!...cant see it happening tho cos of the segregation

[luke_qpr832]

only problem being at the moment is that we cant sell out for the home end :(

Maybe we could change the upper school end entrance?

Also, what about the east paddock, what does it hold?
teams like Donny only bring 500.

You open the current School Upper turnstiles on Ellerslie Road and divert away fans into the Ellerslie, building a small barrier at W block with some segregation netting on the seats. Home fans can then enter both Upper and Lower School end via the SAR turnstiles. Also keeps the away fans out of TV shot which I very much like.

Cost = minimal. Meets League requirements in terms of allocation, can charge away fans relevant prices and benefits QPR fans with another "behind the goal" view and possibly cheaper seats.

Can't see a down side. Just wonder if there is a will to make it happen.

Job's a good 'un

Amit will make it happen, he wants a full noisy ground. Let's bring it to his attention.

Thet would have to build a solid segregation in the concourse under Ellerslie Road too.

Even away fans need a poo or wee, and a cup of gravy.

Doesn't need to be solid. Can be flexible/removable/temporary to cater for increased cup allocations. Loo's and Refreshment bar already there. Stewarding would need to be uplifted.

Minimal cost for maximum return IMO

edit - nb - Stoke and Burnley have done something very similar in putting home fans in visiting sections to ensure the visiting clubs get the bare minimum allocation.

I'm all for it.

I've always though that we shouldn't be putting away fans right behind the goal, where the away team can get that extra lift from seeing them there.

Hide them away in the corner and give them benches made out of balsa wood, soaked in cats p*ss.
And make them wear smart shoes and a tie.

Should be mandatory for all!
