Focusing On The Positives As Opposed To The Negatives

Great post Nodge could not agree more...

Top post node, I think though 2004/05 was our highest average since the 70s I think over 10k sts

Average attendance was higher but ST sales slightly lower than 2003/2004 is what Sam Taylor told me at the time when I was b1tching about that God-awful baby sky blue shirt!

Pete, you numpty (not digging don't take it as one)

1) vauxhall motors was 2002
2) shittu and doudu got purchased in 2001!


The prices are a **** take but it won't have any impact on me coming back for games or not, it's the attitude towards the fans and the fact flavo being about destabilizes the club

Football is not a money making business, our gate income will be higher than

Blackburn, Swansea, Norwich, stoke , Bolton, wigan, west brom etc , our running cost should be on a par and our commercial income greater!


We are paying the price for the debt

1) inherited debt we know about that from previous days
2) increased debt is down to flavo messing around, managerial merry go round and lack of investment in youth , and average players on high wages, excessive loan signings.

We have debt we are a football club, our debt is extreme due to the circus!

If I am honest I don't think season ticket prices in all areas are too bad, walk in prices are a disgrace!


We can't reinvent the wheel boutique rubbish! We need a packed intimidating stadium stay up for 2 years then we become a club with major assets other than the post code! This is not rocket science

Commercial income greater than Norwich, Blackburn and WBA who all have 24 and 25k average attendances?

What a pointless thread.

You native supporters might Remember Vauxhall Motors if you were there on the matchday, and I remember the feeling when I saw Tommy Smith score the vital goal against Watford and secured us promotion.

How about the feeling when Paul Furlong scored against Oldham in the last 4 minutes of the play off semi that made LR shake to its foundations?

Or when Chris Carr sliced that cross into his own net directly in front of 9,000 R's at Hillsborough?

I remember those feelings too. They were great.

Opinions are like @rseholes. Everyone has one. Only my one is nicer than yours

or when Lazarus crashed the winner in past Shepherd

I really cant see what the lowest of the low points and the highest of the highs from yester-year, has to do with the shambolic way QPR FC is preparing for life in the PL, one of the hardest leagues in the world.

Paul this is a forum mate, not restricted to 1 single topic of convo. People can discuss the past and have a chat/debate opinions. Its the whole idea of this site. Not every single discussion needs to be moaning about our preperation for this coming season, theres enough threads already doing just that.

Pete started a thread on focusing on all the bad things that happened in the last 10 years, suggesting we should all be grateful now and I am asking what has that got to do with today. You really have to stop moaning about people moaning, when in fact they are only questioning what is happening.

Do the maths based on the ticket pricing difference!

[Nodge70]

Do the maths based on the ticket pricing difference!

Only works on the basis of us selling out all 19 home games.

Exactly. And you didnt just say "ticket revenue", you said "commercial income" ie shirt sales etc. With 10,000 more fans average per week, thats alot more commercial income via club shop isnt it.
