Favourite ever QPR team I enjoyed watching
at 16:39 14 Sep 2026

I think this would be my exact team.

Maybe Blackstock up top, he was a bit of a goal machine at one stage but Furlong is a legend.

Lee Cook, what a player. Padula scoring from the corner kicks as well.

Walker was a loan player, if not him then prob Bignot (though I think he was better at LB).

Never understood why its Carlsberg. Presumably highest margin as its cheap?

In the loft I am sure you can get Estrella and stuff.

On the plus side, its pints now in Ellerslie but still Carlsberg.

Beers were £8 at Charlton though, so price wise at least its better.

New pre match song
at 18:56 6 Sep 2026

Hi ho silver lining was a lot better than I thought it would be. I'd quite happily have that pre kick off if a change is needed.

Every little thing being mentioned elsewhere. These anthems only work if they get sung loud and proud both home and away though.

Nope, none are ticked! We haven't done a dodgy but it could easily look like it if I am accidently using a 13 year olds ticket.

Got mine today. No idea what ones are the kids ones though so presumably they don't care at the gate.

Where do people head to for drinks pre match?

DH Gate question

Also keen to hear if they are any good. Got England from it earlier and it was £40 for 2 adult tops and 2 full kids kits. Looked brilliant.

The Loftus Road Ceiling: Why We Are Trapped in Infinite Mediocrity
at 09:29 12 Jun 2026

Disagree with this to be honest.

Brentford - new stadium, whilst small, has tons of corportate and brings in lots of extra money. It also costs less to run.

Bournemouth have a small ground and doing very well but they are being held back by it and have plans to expand it. If it wasn't holding them back, why would they bother?

Derby - bigger budget than us, have had success in their ground.
Reading - managed to get to the prem in their stadium. They still average around 12k so whilst looks empty, that isn't too shabby for a club that averaged what, 6k before moving? Imagine how low they would be without it.

MK - can't use that club ffs.

The Loftus Road Ceiling: Why We Are Trapped in Infinite Mediocrity
at 14:25 11 Jun 2026

I have said the same thing in the Car Giant thread.

We do need a new stadium. We cannot improve our revenue, therefore budgets, without one. We will continue to stagnate and not go anywhere particularly fast.

We sell out a lot of game but we still out our non restricted view every game.

Unless our player trading is pretty much bang on each year, we will eventually go down before we go up. The likes of Cardiff have a new stadium (newish anyway) and they average more than us in the league below. Things like that mean that even if we go down, there is no way we would expect to go straight back up as we wouldn't have the budget.

We would get new fans though, or just more of our actual fans through the door. Happy to be proved wrong and Wimbledon to MK dons a side, I don't think a club has ever moved to a new stadium and see their attendances drop? They all rise.

Even clubs like Bristol City have a far great match day revenue than us.

Obviously player sales and doing that right should go with it.

Was it Preston who were sponsored by the spudking or something random like that.

Huge online presence for something so small, yet they sold the most that they have ever done. Might have even been more than the last 2 combined or something like that, purely down to the sponsor.

Agreed. Bloody awful top. I am not against the colour scheme or the vertical hoops but the kit itself is just basic and bloody terrible.

Back on topic then. So this site has gone out to tender, is that right? When does that close and then how soon after that would we know who the winner (?) is?

Answered your own question there. Without the council and being able to build out over SAR, we cannot do anything drastic that will have a impact on size.

Summer transfer rumours 2026
at 15:23 19 May 2026

Not what I was saying.

Ill use example figures as I have no idea of the real ones but just with how it would work.

We get 20% of the fee that Palace get. Lets say he was sold for 60m but they agreed to a sell on fee of 20% as well.

They then sell Eze for 100m. That means that they would get £20m from that, which means the total sale of Eze got them 80m, meaning we would be entitled to 20% of the 20% that they got; in these figures, another £4m.

That above logic works for anything, like wining a prem. They get another £1m? We get 20% of that. Anything that Arsenal pay Palace, we would get our 20% worth.

Likewise if he flopped and left on a free, we get nothing extra as Palace didn't get anything more.

Hopefully that makes sense!

Sorry but that's not correct.

If part of the transfer was to have this, then that gets added to the overall transfer fee and we would be entitled to that part of it.

Otherwise all clubs would sell the player for pennies and then get a £30m fee after the player has played 1 game.

Even if Arsenal sell him for 200m, and Palace have a sell on (not saying they do) then we would also be entitled to a percentage of Palace's percentage.

Hes not wrong. Look at Chelsea, they need experience as well and no managers have been able to consistently win with youth.

We wouldn't need it all and it will all be part of a regeneration that will bring in millions a month, though rent, sales, events and so on.

I still don't really understand your points.

You mention other grounds that were falling down, yet you say LR is fine. Last season, part of the roof blew off in a storm when a game was playing!

It's very expensive to keep running and those costs go up as everything gets older. Evening Birmingham had to shut 2 stands as their ground was unsafe. They are now building a new ground.

At some stage, we will need a new ground whether you like it or not. And no one likes it as we all love LR but you have to be realistic.

"It would also allow us to continue to talk of digging down for a while longer".

Brilliant line.
