School End Away Stand

[cross it Dave]

I think away teams are entitled to 1800 seats, lower school end holds only 1200 odd.

Just chuck the rest in the corner of Ellerslie...

Or the paddocks

Can we not apply the rule where the away team has to guarantee the money for the top tier even if they dont sell the tickets (seems to happen to us alot). Might persuade them to take the lower allocation downstairs giving us upstairs

[PedalR]

Using Ellerslie makes sense... would allow us to have a "sliding" dividing line depending on how many away fans there were. We'd still presumably lose a couple hundred of seats as a sterile zone between home/away fans but that's better than the severeal hundred seats we currently have to net off in lower school end.
Would it require much tinkering with lavs and food kiosks under the Ellserlie though?

They tried that temporary roof over the school end at the end of last season, would a more permanent structure allow us to remove the netting and fill the front of the lower end.

[cross it Dave]

[w12dave]

talking about stands, found myself in the Loft stand for the first time in donkeys years, poor view, could'nt see where the shots were heading for and took an age to get out. Reinforced my opinion LR is not up to scratch and we need to move pronto :impatient:

[martyhoop]

What your opinion about the away fans sitting at the x and w block at ellerslie road next season so the Qpr fans have the school end, top and lower Loft.......would it be possible?

Clubs like crystal palace, everton and aston villa does this, if we are playing smaller clubs they can have one block, bigger clubs like man utd Chelsea can have two block x and w.

where do you suggest they move the disabled section for home fans in x-block to with access and accesssible facillities and it aint as if we are selling out week after week.

[BUSHRANGER1982]

There will be plenty of space for everyone next year i'm afraid , we'll be back in the Championship

Drat!
You beat me to it.

[West Acton]

There is no need to move them just stop netting off downstairs problem solved

Yeah but I had a butchers whilst at Anfield and they just had a bit of two-bob netting about 3' wide strung across along the front of the upper tier. Looked like something Bernard Cribbens could install in about 2 hrs for £25 cash.........
Why is that we have to have some sort of hi-tech acrchitectural structural solution with sign off from by 47 separate bureaucrats whilst other clubs just break out the chicken wire?????

Exactly most clubs dont even have that I would guess there is not even a requirement to put anything up. We just go to extremes taking out rows of seats
