Early bird season ticket

[SULLY048]

pretty sure people where moaning that we didnt do something like this earlybird window last year when we announced them as late as possible.
don't mind that much myself renewed mine in january... your all moaning like your not gonna be there next year watching a load of #### football all over again

I'm not saying I won't be renewing but other clubs in years gone by have given people the chance to buy by the end of March and if you are promoted you win because you have bought at the discounted price.
I assume that when they announced the early bird prices by the end of March they thought we still had a chance of going up (deluded) and they reeled in all the fans who thought we could still go up that they could be getting a bargain (eternal optimists).
Why can't the club change their minds a la Liverpool and revert to previous years early birds by the end of June?

[HertsHoops]

Was set on renewing towards end of march and most likely still will but ......

Me and the lad were there yesterday(ST in LL, left on 80"), and such a spineless performance has certainly shocked me into considering our options

We've lost against better teams whilst putting up some fight - thats fine.

What shocked us yesterday was that our players(who had been decent against Ipswich) didn't want to fight or win enough in a local derby - cheers you c*nts !

Will be interesting to see how much guts they show for the rest of the season

Because the stupid idiots at the top have spunked £200m to make us WORSE than we were before. Damage limitation & clawing back what they can.

I agree with your point though definitely. Very poor form from the club considering the dross we're being served up.

[Hitman34]

Its that kind of attitude the club are banking on. Not having a go, but if you accept these decisions without even questioning them then they'll continue to pull these sneaky stunts. Playing on peoples loyalty. Poor form.

This.

Completely agree mate.

"Shocked" describes it about as accurately as possible.

Rather sadly, neither the owners or some of the staff really get what "QPR" means to many fans. People that have been going for fifty plus years. People who started going with their grandfathers and their own fathers. Not blaming them for that necessarily, because if you've not been a lifelong fan, how could you understand properly? The media team do their best to provide as good a service as possible to your "average" fan, but the absense of a lifelong love of the club and having to be professional, means they couldn't begin to truly represent the way some of us feel.

I'm not suggesting for one minute that anybody should be allowed to just slate the club for everything as some do, but I do feel that it would be good for someone capable of being reasonable, to be able to sit down and properly explain a few things to those that are clearly missing the point.

Maybe it's just the way things are these days, but I'm struggling to think of a time I've felt so fed up about things that not going is looking like an increasingly likely option. And from what I've seen on this thread, it would appear that for many, the camel's back is not in great shape.

What shocked was the complete lack of interest by the vast majority of the team which remained consistent from beginning to the end.
I can accept lack of quality, better opposition, relatively new manager, January signings, players leaving etc ...might mean we are abysmal but what was shocking yesterday was the complete non interest.
Summed up for me within first couple of minutes, ball goes off for a Fulham goal kick, it's a yard from Hoilett, does he
A) grab the ball throw it back to the keeper, bomb it back into position and attack attack attack for this blood and thunder Derby or
B) leave the ball as if your 3-0 up and walk back sloth like leaving the keeper to spend 20 seconds to retrieve the ball.
Unbelievable , the club knocking off £50 off S/t prices would probably equate to the sloths wages for 10 months.

i renewed mine and one of my sons in january , really because its the only time i get to see him now he's 16. gonna buy one for the young un as he sayes he now wants to come .i agree with most of what i've heard on here and when the kids get older i will probably pick and chose games' the people running the club don't love it like we do and never will . we now live in a time when bang average players are now millionaires and the only thing they have in common with us is they stand near us for 90 minutes twice a month

you're giving sloths a bad name

[MattyRangers]

Not sure how true, but matey I was speaking to after the game yesterday reckons the end of March early bird deadline isn't just to get the cheaper rate, but if you don't buy by then you're not guaranteed your seat?! I understand giving a cheaper rate for an early commitment, but don't we normally get until June / July to renew our seats?

Wouldn't worry Matty.

Who else is going to want it?

You are right, if you have renewed by then, you can pick anyone who hasnt renewed's seat. Which may lead to some awkwardness next season. I have my eye open for a prime spot.

That's b0llox from the club.

Tbf I will renew anyway, but I have a feeling the club might be surprised at the lack of people that do. I know of a fair few that aren't.

Don't think many will be easy birding mate, hopefully if we can get a few wins towards the end of the season and a clear out and some in comings might sway a few back who are thinking of not bothering next season.

[IsleworthRanger]

I will be renewing but will leave it until the last day possible

Will definately cut down on away games though and save my cash for some cricket trips abroad
