    "They'll never sell out"

    "Build it and they will come"

    2 phrases we should bear in mind the next time our own stadium debate comes up, a stadium that is at least a decade away that will be home for the next 100 years.

      With those season ticket prices it's hardly surprising........

        You seen how much they reduced the pricing though.

        far bigger club with a far bigger fan base than ours though. where i think we have 8-9k who will be there no matter what, whatever div we are in, they would have at least double that.

          Well when you have a stadium that you have no build costs for, effectively handed the use of a stadium in prime location, you can afford to offer reduced tickets that are more than likely to sell.

            I played sunday league football today.

            Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.

            I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.

            We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

                In 1996, our average attendance 15,683. West Ham's was 22,340. The difference is definitely not as big as I'd thought it'd be.

                        I know loads of QPR fans who just dont go anymore and thats just me. Most say they cant be @rsed to get tickets for our little ground thinking only bad view seats are left. Ask yourselves who do you know whos a QPR fan and dont go anymore. Gotta be thousands out there who would love to have no worries about getting tickets with good facilities and views.

                          I agree. Right stadium with the right ticket prices and we'll have loads returning.

                            Whats wrong with that, some may actually convert into supporters. When I was taken to my first ever R's game, I wasn't a supporter! (think I was still a Man U fan, I was about 7 though to be fair)

                              We dont exactly sell out very often though. If those people wanted to go, they could, pretty much every single week.
