How much longer is it going to take for crowds to increase?

[ollyhoops]

Just over 12,000 at the game today. We are top of the league and still can't get decent crowds. What is it going to take for crowds to increase? If we are honest about it we are punching well above our weight if you look at our crowds. I can't see how people can moan at the board when they are now starting to deliver their part of the bargain for such little return.

August is an odd month as many people are on holiday.

Also, I think if we keep it going to 10 games then people will start to come back to qpr

if we are still top in months time..the glory hunters will start to come back....and start their loyal supporters songs!!

Maybe the special offer from the Sun newspaper didnt count toward the attendance. And TBH QPR have always played down attendances, someone seems to not be able to count properly in the finance office!

Myth. Scunny brought very few - so we are down already. It's august - people are on holiday, crowds are often low then. We will average about 14k-15k this season like we have done, on average, for all but one of the last 20 seasons.

I drive in from Surrey and apart from a hold up due to an accident on the M3 I was wondering where all the cars had gone. Lots of people away on hols, especially with the bank holiday weekend coming up - crowds will get better - especially if we stay top.

Scunny isn't a fixture that impresses.

We will definately sell more than 15k against middlesborough.

Also we don't have to pay a grade prices for watching us play a big club, so that will help.

Only Preston had a lower crowd than us yesterday.And we are top of the league.

Even Coventry had over 13k and it was live on the telly.

Pitifull.

According to Vital Scunthorpe report, they brought 439 followers to be precise!

I think you will see some big crowds whenever the Rs face another playoff contender (e.g. Ipswich, Cardiff, Burnley)

Football's an expensive hobby though guys. We were fortunate in that both of us went yesterday due to the sun offer (£20 for two tickets was great) but if we wanted to go every other game then it would cost us £50 for two tickets and sadly that just cannot be done every other week at this moment in time.

It's not just QPR, but football in general needs to look at itself.

[ollyhoops]

People will start going back if we continue our form.

Glory hunters well come if it really does look like we going to get promted

It isnt jus about glory hunters - QPR have a small fan base - that is a fact. We have averaged 14k for over 20 years with the odd blip.

Yes, more poeple come when we are doing well - that is because they feel they are getting better return/value for their money.

Some people genuinly cannot afford the prices every week now days, so they pick and choose.

You only have to look at the example of German Football / Bundesliga to see how the game should be run where the fans are No.1.

You can't outright blame QPR/The Board, the whole game needs restructuring in this country with a proper moral code of ethics put in place.

100% agree with that.
