I suspect that gets held back and released at a later point.
I can't believe we've sold it that quick. I knew we'd sell it out but 8,000 odd tickets in an afternoon? |

Yup. When it was obviously the only thing it would ever possibly be useful for.
They ended up tearing the Don Valley down in Sheffield, 20 years after they built the thing. |

I mean we'll do all this in the preview/awayday I'm sure, but the problem with that stadium all along was that it would only ever be a long term going concern as a football ground, and yet they kidded themselves all the way through that this wasn't the case.
When the Commonwealth Games were in Manchester they built the stadium specifically designed to be Man City's new home ground afterwards. Perhaps because of the grief they got for that in the run up to the Olympics they repeatedly said that wouldn't be the case this time. Tessa Jowell was C&M secretary at the time I think and every time the post-Olympics use of the stadium was raised she would just straight bat "it's going to be an athletics stadium, because we need one" which was just obviously fcking nuts. London does not need a permanent 80,000 athletics venue. Nowhere does really.
That idealism over pragmatism left you with what you have now. A stadium turned over to a Premier League football club anyway (as it was always going to be) at a terrible deal for the tax payer. A stadium that needed a widespread, hugely expensive, post games retrofit to get it vaguely into shape to host football. And a dreadful, dreadful football stadium.
Absolute botch job all the way through. |

After Plymouth as well, they'd be very silly to do that.
And I don't think they will. I suspect the Plymouth game will even get a mention in the pre-match/spin. |

Critchley's often given me the impression he prefers being a coach to a manager. I was surprised, frankly, that he took on other jobs after us. I expected him to go back into high level academy coaching. |

Yeh I knew they'd sell but I'm surprised at this, unless the map releases them a bit at a time we could do 9,000 in a day here. |

Yeh back of the upper tier is meant to be a quarter of a mile away from the goal at the other end  |

Lower tier is pretty well gone but there are thousands and thousands left in the upper tier, it's barely been touched, just had a look at the map |

My dad used to find it absolutely hilarious to tell grandad we were going hospitality when we weren't, so he'd be standing at the back of the Q Block in his only suit and tie because "I thought we had to get ponsed up". |

Yeh you can pick seats. Just had a go on the ticket website and it was very easy - albeit only six at a time obvs.
Scroll down if you're a season ticket holder, the full price £15 shows first with the £10 season ticket holder discount lower down. |

Thread | Andy Evans retiring
at 20:44 18 Dec 2025
Now, we band around the term 'legend' a bit willy nilly these days.
This guy truly is.
One of the most genuine people you could ever meet. A force for good at our club over decades, often when the club itself was a shtshow. Upheld its values, often when it had forgotten them itself.
That's a huge pair of shoes to fill in a vital job that shouldn't be taken lightly. Very sad to see another QPR long termer leaving the club but may Andy enjoy his richly earned retirement.
The very best of us as a group, and QPR as a club.

Basically. They're standard at US sports now when I'm over there. Arrives on your phone about 3 hours before "face off" with your name and ID on which you have to show as you go in, and the border is animated so you can't screenshot it.
I remember when we used to come here to drink. |

I much prefer digital tickets cos you just can't rely on the post at all now (Portsmouth still not turned up) but I usually print them off when I get them.
I take it from this we're all getting the animated QR codes for our phone, which should be a right laugh when I go in there for 17 of the bloody things tomorrow  |
