Looks like the Tottenham game is not gone sell out, Embarrassing!

[qpr]

Is that a joke? We've the smallest ground in the Premier League & we can't sell it out. We're a West London club playing in a London derby. That makes me cross to be honest

[w12dave]

personally I don't want a new stadium, we are a small club and quite happy to stay where we are.

we should have a safe standing area at both end of the lower loft and and also west/east paddlock. Give the upper loft at the school end to qpr fans which would increase attendance figures...

we would need to get rid of the poles around the stadium that support the roof and get a new roof fitted in.

If the club did offers like West Ham and Fulham do - ie kids for a fiver, £20 cup games, etc then we would pack out the stadium every week and, I would bet, make more revenue than we currently do at £55 per seat but they dont and we dont sell out.

Couldn't give two hoots if its sold out or not - why is it embarrassing, why do some get angry or cross....its a football match which hasnt sold out yet......thats the reality and bottom line and not really something that should evoke a sense of rage.......its just a football match and its on the telly!! Chill Chill Chill!!!

For once, I find myself agreeing with you

Those that worry about a football game not selling out when tickets are 55 a pop need to live in the real world.

Fully agree about those poles needing to go, but can it be done?

Looks pretty full to me, just looked on the on line box office, a handful left

How can we chill? This is what was translated a couple of days ago in the recently found FULL version of the Mayan Calendar: "December 21 in the year 2012 marks only the beginning of the end of the world and the event that triggereth the ultimate destruction of the planet shall be the inability of QPR to sell out the Tottenham match a fortnight later, lo and behold, thus spake the Mayans!"

You build a 30-35k stadium and charge average £30-35 tickets. You create more money per game...

Increase corporate side for extra revenues. Non-sporting/special events to rent in summer months.

Overcharging on current capacity will still be below what a new stadium will create. I know it is easy saying all this and if we go down, it won't happen blah blah blah.

If we do stay up, with all the added TV money coming in. We will have to speculate to accumulate in terms of stadium.

You're correct but only if all the tickets are sold and, IMO, no way on earth would we sell that many. We would sell 25k absolute tops and that would soon drop back down to 20k and for these January games where people are skint from Christmas probably even lower and we would be playing in a half empty stadium.

That's more like it then!

If it is that Embarrassing Haddock put your hand in your pocket and buy a few tickets for a few people so it doesn't look so bad... These kind of threads are getting boring now! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZ

On TV, just after Xmas and we are ****

Build it and they will come!

Also, need to be smarter with ticket prices. With the current capacity restrictions there is not much give. With a bigger capacity, you can offer something better.

I think its sign of the times, with all the cut backs and cost or living increasing the first thing people cut back on is football. We're not the only club there are plenty of others as well.
