    How can the club work on increasing the fanbase?

    Something we really need to look at doing in order to grow the club further. Yesterday we had the second lowest attendance in our league which for a club aiming for the premiership is terrible. I really think the club needs to put more effort into both getting more current fans down to Loftus road and secondly getting more people to support the club. If we dont do this they will never increase their revenue streams which could be vital in years to come.

    Inflatable Adel's in the Club Shop would help a lot.

      We are only a couple of k short of a home capacity crowd......ie ground too small, crap views, uncomfortable seats, people want good veiws leg room, and not have to wait half an hour to have a lag.
      They seek him here.................

        A new stadium would undoubtedly increase attendances - look at Cardiff. We'd never see a gate short of 15k in a bowl for a league game

          under Holloway a few seasons back it was chocka, fans were being turned away so they're there already, what has'nt helped is the massive increase in tickets, casual fans unable to purchase a ticket at the box office (this £3.50 handling charge con) and if you're over 5ft 6ins its bl**dy uncomfortable

            I know this will upset a few but I say that smaller grounds like ours should have terraces in certain areas. You can't tell me that the Paddocks full of standing fans is ever going to be a safety issue or even some other areas of our ground!!!!

            I can not stand sitting at LR because the seats are so tightly packed together. They must have been midgets when they built the stands. My lanky frame struggles big time getting eased into to those child seats

                  Have to say there is always a lot of fans heading back to Essex on the tube. Would save them and me an hour

                  Apart from the journey I just love Loftus Road

                    Me too. But if were ever going to do well in the prem ie mid table we will need to expand and improve the ground. If not we will need a new stadium-my hope being they would build it close to the pitch like LR and not a bowl 10 miles from the pitch.

                      we should see the possibility of playing a pre-season game against the Indian National side to draw in extra fans - you never know some may take QPR as their second team at the very least
