How Much Did The Club Shoot Themselves In the Foot?

I see we are advertising for fans for the Forest Game, makes you wonder what would have happened if the club had stuck to the old season ticket prices or certainly never made fans move away from seats they had for years.

Put simply you can now pick and choose games you go to, having more Sky games reduces the crowds. If we had kept hold of those season ticket holders, then fans would have felt they had to go.

How much did changing the season ticket policy affect, what we are seeeing at games now, or is simply a cost issue for many?

Cost is a massive problem now, even in the prem league you are seeing empty seats in stadiums that were full a couple of seasons ago. Though i do think moving the family section was a mistake, especially for the atmosphere.

Many reasons but from what I hear & see Ali's sh!tty little colour scheme plan put many many fans off coming.

pay on the day prices went up under ali g and never came down. altho our ST's did. Plus football is leisure money, any woman will tell you that.

Pete, not saying that you don't have a point, but not quite sure that this an ideal subject matter to bring up a few hours before a game where we want people to come with a positive frame of mind.

Well there is a recession at the moment so I would think costs must play a part.
Also as it's a Sky game the chances are the occassional ticket buyer will watch it at home / in the pub rather than come to QPR.

i would have been there with my son, had train tickets bought for the day, then it got changed to the sunday, and was too expensive to change the train tickets, so have to do something else in london now.
