Ticked all the boxes for the first game back.
Asked the box office to send me a paper ticket so no access dramas - Tick
Got the ground early to avoid rush (2.15pm) - Tick
BUT.......................................
The Blue and White bar was an absolute disgrace.
30 min queue to be told that they now sell lager in cans. £4.50 for a can of Carlsberg!!!
Jesus Christ - the bar staff were clueless (forgot to give two lads in front of me their change, poured the lager from can to plastic glass like it was a valuable commodity), the lager crap and the temperature was that of a small Fijian island.
Can we not have the choice of at least one other not so sh1te beer?
Ill leave it next time!

With more pubs closing in the surrounding area its a great opportunity for the club to make more revenue through alcohol sales at the ground.
If only the Blue and White bar had been open for more than 25 years and they had ample feedback about what fans love and dislike about it to improve the 'experience'... |  | | |

Completely agree. The Blue & White bar was just hard work on Saturday, but with pubs closing (or not yet open) around the Bush there wasn't a lot of options available. Most of the staff, apart from one Angel who could can work that bar with her eyes shut and one other with potential, were I have to say it, gormless. |  | | |

Totally agree, it was a total disgrace & waiting over 30mins to get a pint, barman had no idea how to pull a pint & messing up change, tried to charge me for 3 pints & only ordered 2, the bloke in front of me got his pint & just walked away without paying, got to be sorted & employing foreign bods as cheap labour |  | | |

It is astonishing that with a captive audience of thousands the club chooses to sell the most piss poor lager available on Earth - and to start selling it in cans is just incredible.
Do Carlsberg have compromising pictures of someone at QPR? It's the only rational explanation. [Post edited 9 Aug 2021 10:06]

What is even stranger is that pre-covid they had actually got their act together - proper queuing, pint pouring, lots of staff and quick cash/card payments meant you actually had a chance of seeing the start of the second half. |  |

Never understood why anyone bothers getting a drink at half time. Always see people leaving their seats early to get a crap drink. Can you not wait until after the game for a pint or are people so desperate for a drink they're willing to wait ages for an overpriced can of nasty lager.
I've found that mid-week games with about 11k fans is when things run the smoothest. Most issues at Loftus Road tend be busy Saturday games. Although the ground can hold around 18k it does seem sketch the staff when it's busy. |  | | |

Absolutely pointless trying to do anything at half time, except having a piss to be honest.
It's about time we were treated as adults and were allowed to drink in view of the pitch. | | | |

What I find stranger is that so many didn't seem to be in a rush to go back to their seats after half time.We left the bar on the whistle to start the half and we had to walk past 100’s of people still with full glasses and standing around chatting.I know a lot of people were meeting for the first time in ages,but it did seem a bit weird to me. |  | | |

The queuing in the bar pre match was ridiculous and started before 2pm ( due to people arriving early) .
The staff were generally useless (apart from 2) and had clearly never pulled a pint on their lives b4.
Lager was on draught when I was served and later when my brother was served also after the game. Seems someone was just too lazy to change a barrel at some point hence the cans..
Why dont they pre pour the beer to about 3/4 full and then top up at point of sale with 1 member of staff simply pouring pints for others to sell.
OH AND STOP SELLING PIE AND MASH IN THE BAR SELL IT AT THE FOOD KIOSK OUTSIDE. Bloke in front of me ordered 2 pints of guiness and then 2 pie and mash took 15 minutes the whole process. Ridiculous. | | | |

I saw at least two groups of people bringing their beer into the lower loft,and one group in the front row decided to put their plastic glasses on the front wall in clear view of everyone.The steward finally came down and told them to move the beer off the wall,but didn’t do anything else.
The quality of stewarding was dreadful on Saturday,but it was nice to see the extras coming out on 85 minutes to ensure that nobody invaded the pitch. | | | |

Just a quick shout out to the steward at top of ER T block staircase.
Very friendly and actually took the trouble to show people to their seats.
Very good. | | | |

The rule was brought in, iirc, in 84/85 which was, as you said in another thread, the rock bottom of football violence in this country.
36 years later it surely must be time for a review of this? |  | | |

It was £5.50 a can in the food kiosks which we tried as queue for the blue and white bar was insane
Could see this coming to be honest, they were training staff at the Man Utd game and very few of them understood how to pour a pint r how to work the card machine. Took about 10 minutes that day with only a handful of people in the queue so they had no hope weekend.
Just far too few staff and no common sense at all to just pre pour the bloody things and fill the fridge with them |  | | |

I've always enjoyed having a drink at half time, a chance to have a chat about the first half, calm down a bit if things aren't going well and check on the half time scores. If Saturday becomes the norm though with those queues I don't think I'll bother | | | |

I'm used to getting bumped and bruised when we score but I definitely don't want to spend the rest of game covered in lager. |  |

It's actually mad how bad the amenities at Loftus Road are - and how little effort goes into trying to work around them like pre pouring drinks etc
I've had a season ticket for like 11 years and I doubt I've even spent £100 in the stadium - before I moved to the Paddocks it was 0 |  | | |

Good point. I went to a Union Berlin match and was delighted that I was not only allowed to stand on terraces and drink beer, but a guy with a keg on his back came round and topped it up! And then Union equalised in the 89th minute and everyone leapt up screaming in excitement - two seconds later I was soaked by a heavy shower of lager. What goes up, must come down. |  | | |

there is no way fans will be trusted to drink in view of the pitch, far too many arseholes around who will throw bottles | | | |

Yep, I just love the thought of R's scoring an early goal, everyone in the Loft jumping up and getting two or three pints over my head. |  | | |

If it’s carlsberg you should be ok as long as you don’t drink any of it. | | | |
