ok, i get your point now mate. but is he talking about our stadium or some #dreamstadium that does not exist?

i'm assuming he is talking about loftus road.

I read it as a new stadium mate. I don't think anyone is of the opinion that redeveloping Loftus Rd or making significant changes to the stadium would be a good idea. We are hamstrung there by the lack of space with residential property surrounding us. You'd never be able to do much more than what we already have with the amount of space we have to play with.

You're missing my point mate.

I'm not suggesting we extend the corporate section at Loftus Road. I'm talking about a new stadium with a better, purpose built corporate area. I've done C Club a few times, I've also done corporate a few other grounds. We are a quite a long way behind most of the modern stadiums when it comes to match day hospitality. Not there is anything wrong with what we put on for corporate fans, just the ground and everything about it is a little dated.

I think a bigger money spinner is a ground that could be booked for concerts and other sporting events like boxing/MMA matches etc. We're in a great location for it, just need a venue that's up to it!

He’s so right about stadium

[Tarbie]

Well, if he wants more corporate areas, then surely that goes against the grain of growing the fanbase.
Not only would it shrink match day fans, it would raise the prices of what remains of the seats in the ground.
Plus, match day atmosphere will be even worse.

why can he not just get a sponser for the stadium which will generate the money required.

Dont suppose he could of meant the reading goalie regarding the penalty save?

maybe mate.

No surprise at the football related comments. Tony doesn't and never has understood the game.

I make him right on the commercial side though. If we are going to be forced to operate without cash injections from the board to keep us solvent, we need other revenue streams. Our current level of attendance is probably not enough to generate the revenues required to consistently challenge at the top of the Championship. Match day costs for a London side are very high.

Of course, Tony's idea is a stadium that can be used for other events, with a larger corporate section and perhaps other revenue generating business tied to it is a good one. Getting it off the ground appears to be easier said than done, particularly when you've blown as much money as we have in recent seasons.

[The General]

Sounds like he wants to either re name or sell the stadium or similar possibly to raise money.

Yesterday was a strange one. Disappointing . Good to try some new things out on the squad as we prepare for next season. No one likes to lose though. Got to give credit to their keeper. One of those days. Information keeps building on squad .



We need to focus on long term like stadium where we are getting zero help .

We do. We can’t survive and it’s not seats. It’s corporate and making more use of the stadium.


From these posts, it seems to me that uncle is now happy with howllowhead to carry out mass experimentations during matches.
he goes on to praise the reading keeper for having a great game even though the stats were 27 shots with 3 on target.

With regards to lofus road, is this chris wright mark 2? says we cannot survive for much longer and seems to suggest that he will be loaning out loftus road for more corporate activities.

It's written in the stars ain't it.
That game will make the the pe teachers abuse at foolham look like nursery.

Gawd help the poor little fruitloop

If he doesn't get a positive result in the next few games, I'd say something needs to change before Millwall. He's going to get torn a new one, and probably have a full blown breakdown down there if things are as still as bad as they are now.

[Hitman34]

I admire your spirit mate but it isn't going to happen sadly.

I reckon he'll get sacked just before Millwall...save him the embarrassment of them tearing him a new one at the Den.
