Lee Hoos, Les Ferdinand and Mark Warburton Interview

This is why the club was right in looking to build a 40k stadium.

The key is to fill the stadium and generate new support and income.

I would offer cheaper season tickets, Offer schools, college and Uni students tickets next to nothing and bring them in.

Sell cheap tickets on the door and promote it to tourists with an offer.

Hopefully, we create a car park and charge away supporters. Maybe offer free parking with season tickets and charge per car to all others?

40k Stadium that can be used for other events, which brings in additional income. We could have a nice wine bar/night club and even a casino in the stadium which brings in money every day?

I hate the excuse that we can't fill the ground, we can if the price is set right. Some people may not start off as fans but over time they'll become supporters, it will take a few years but it will be worth it long term.

We can give tickets away in competitions and promotions.

If we want to compete paying good wages, we need a bigger ground.

Completely agree myu.

Interesting chat & that sums perfectly where the club is regarding transfers & FFP & should shut up the fans who keep on about the subject week in week out

I believe every word they say......?

[Bill]

I would encourage everyone to watch this and try to realise these guys don’t deserve some of the ridiculous abuse they have taken and not only from some posters on here.

Why is that ?

[Stainrod]

Yes Bill ffp is just one big fabricated story apparently.

Touching on Myus post about a 40K stadium/complex; whichever way you try to spin this, we need alternate income as we will never generate enough money to sustain us long term as a CCC club.

Over here, The Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL) and The Toronto Raptors (NBA) share a 20K+ arena.
One night its an ice rink, next night it's a basketball court.
On top of this, there are concerts, conferences and various trade shows.

Add on the naming rights (recently changed from The Air Canada Centre to The Scotia Bank Arena) for a few million a year.

This is the model that many pro sports teams are having to follow, and the sooner we have a ground that can accommodate more than a couple of dozen matches a year, the sooner we can start to properly progress.

QPR in a new stadium 40k that's not happening , go into local schools all the kids are Chelsea , arsenal . Fans hate these new stadiums where u are miles from the pitch . We struggle to get 12/13k at home .... Most kids that support rangers now do because their dads have taken them and they've stayed loyal. Brentford are moving because their football and the way their club is run is right we are a long way off that . As our fans have got older they've stopped coming that's a fact and we can't attract youngsters they go with the big established London clubs . Giving away tickets isn't the answer we've tried that before , like it or not we are stuck at loftus road for many years to come

I'm not saying a 40K is what we need now, we just need something that is more modern and can accommodate more than just football, and has the capacity to be be expanded upon should the need ever arise.

I love LR, can still remember when our stadium was one of the more modern stadiums around and had some rival fans envious of us, even our flood lights were futuristic. .
Obviously that was almost a lifetime ago.

[hoopsmanjake]

The stadium fills up when the team play/do better we have the fan base but people are sick and tired of the bull sh!t. We filled Wembley we just need some pride and hope back

[MYU]

Football is not cheap but if it was then it's a day out for some. Some people are wondering what to do?

I know people that were not Brentford but due to ticket prices they went.

If these kids like other clubs, let's try to win them over instead of saying it's too late. The more they come and watch the more likely they will change.

My cousin was not a QPR fan, I used to bring him and now is a massive fan. My nephew has just signed for QPR.

I'm not saying all ideas will work but we need to try and keep thinking.

Isn't it just possible the price we got for the likes of Freeman and Austin were about right?
If we are honest they have hardly pulled up trees since leaving us have they?

Also if you are broke and nobody else is offering you any money even though you want more , you have to take it .

[Bill]

Yes lets blame ffp while we fill our boots
