Advertising around the stadium

[qprjames]

Wonder if that will be adressed this year; last year there was empty banner space everywhere!!

Surely its dead money

[MYU]

I've been saying that all year.

How much money have QPR lost in that department and the fans end up paying the money lost.

Who is responsible for this department?

I dont know but it is poor. Thats one thing that always used to be done well and often it wass full to the brim with as much advertising as possible

[qprmarc]

i thought with all the extra media attention we would get more demand for advertisement?

[alexferguson60]

Look at the advertisers. I think it was the club's decision to throw out the smaller advertisers and give exclusive advertising space to bigger-name advertisers and give Loftus Road that 'cleaner-looking' effect.

Or they couldn't raise the revenues....

The pot holes in loftus rd are the boards fault as well!

[BUSHRANGER1982]

They probably think that advertising hoardings all around Loftus Rd, lowers the tone somewhat!

[3London]

yes and there are adverts continually being run on the big screen that weren't there last season

[ScottJones]

I actually think the stadium looks miles better for it!

And I'm sure those advertisers are paying more than all the old ones are put together

Think if i remember Flav said half the advertising boards were not being paid for so they were taken down, Also the big screen wasn't there last season!!!

They did a lot of freebie deals and contra deals. The mahossive one for a sign company up on the school end I think was done as a freebie as that sign company (cant remember their name) would make the advertising boards for the other sponsors and QPRs own ones.

I'd arranged a freebie sign on Ellerslie Road as part of a contra deal during the promotion season - even once that deal had expired I think my sign was there for months and months afterwards and we weren't paying for it.

I heard chronotech is some kind of contra deal as it goes but, that doesnt bother me, the new scoreboards look frigging brilliant in my opinion!
